This section explains advisory notes regarding creation of physical L-Servers.
Prerequisites
To create a physical L-Server, Virtual I/O using VIOM or HBA address rename is required.
Usage methods of VIOM and HBA address rename differ depending on the hardware of managed servers used to configure a physical L-Server.
Blade Servers
Use VIOM.
Rack Mount Servers
Use HBA address rename.
It is also necessary to enter configuration information (CPU core count, CPU clock speed, memory capacity, etc.) of the physical servers in the definition file.
For details, refer to "6.1 Creating Definition Files".
Deleting an L-Server
When deleting an L-Server, log out from the ETERNUSmgr of ETERNUS storage registered on ESC.
When operating NetApp storage in cluster environments and operating a partial system due to system trouble, perform the operation after recovering the NetApp storage and returning the system to cluster operation.
When the disk resource is a LUN created in advance or a LUN for iSCSI boot, it is recommended to delete the data on the disk, as the data is not deleted when deleting an L-Server to which the disk resource is allocated.
For details on how to delete data on disks, refer to "7.5 Storage Resources" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
L-Server Snapshots
Snapshots of L-Servers cannot be used.
Moving an L-Server between Servers (Migration)
Moving between servers (migration) cannot be used.
Network Settings for L-Servers OS's
In Resource Orchestrator, settings for an operating system, such as NIC redundancy on servers or tagged VLANs, are not performed. When specifying an image of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the IP address cannot be automatically configured.
When starting an OS after L-Server creation, set the image to be configured automatically after creating an L-Server. For this setting, use the image collected in the state where the scripts to configure the network settings have been prepared beforehand.
For details, refer to "D.7.4 Network Redundancy and VLAN Settings of L-Servers".
