This section explains how to perform L-Platform operations.
If a L-Platform or server deployed by this product was accidently deleted by virtualization software such as VMware, it is possible to delete unneeded information about the system or server remaining in this product.
What is actually done is that the unneeded L-Platform information or server information status is changed to "Finished with return" with the Delete unneeded data (cfmg_deletesysdata) command so that it is no longer displayed in the L-Platform management View.
Refer to "5.4 cfmg_deletesysdata (Unnecessary Data Deletion)" in the Reference Guide CE for details on this command.
In this product, the resource ID is used when managing the cloning image.
If the cloning image has been updated, the resource ID will be changed, so the image information must be updated in order to return the resource ID back to its previous setting.
If the cloning image has been updated, use an operation from the "Template" window to update the image information.
Refer to "5.3.8 Synchronizing Image Information" in the User's Guide for Infrastructure Administratorsfor details.
Point
To use both cloning masters (the cloning master before the update and the cloning master after the update) in the L-Platform template, updating a single cloning master will not work. Instead, these cloning masters must be collected separately.
The Import L-Server command (cfmg_importlserver) can be used to import servers that have been deployed, or the VM guests that have been imported using the ROR Console, to the L-Platform Management function.
Refer to "5.3 cfmg_importlserver (Import L-Server)" in the Reference Guide CE for details on this command.
Note
L-Servers can only be imported into L-Platform configurations that have one server per L-Platform.
Expansion disks with two disk indexes cannot be imported.
L-Servers without network interface cards (NICs) cannot be imported.
No initial password information will be set for an L-Server that has been imported without image information being specified. "initial password is [.]" will be displayed on the initial password confirmation window of the system details window of the L-Platform management window.
An L-Server that is under a tenant cannot be imported to a different tenant.
When importing an L-Server that is not under a tenant folder, switch the power off for the L-Server targeted for import.
Windows OS
When the virtualization software is RHEL-KVM, the following OS configuration procedure is necessary on each deployed server with Windows OS to enable the settings of the IP addresses, the default gateway, and the host name.
The infrastructure administrator must look up the IP addresses and the host name in the L-Platform management window and the default gateway in the resource management window, and then connect a console to the deployed server and configure the OS manually.
Users cannot access the server until this configuration is completed.
The administrator should include a description like "The IP address needs to be set by the administrator after deployment" in the description field of the L-Platform template, and notify users that the server has become accessible after the configuration.
Linux OS with SELinux enabled
The administrator must disable SELinux when creating an image, and should include a description like "SELinux needs to be enabled after the deployment has been completed" in the description field of the L-Platform template.
Because Linux OS is deployed with SELinux disabled, users must enable it after the deployment has been completed.
Any server with a startup priority level set to 0 will not startup or shutdown when performing bundled power supply operations.
An information message will be output to vsys_trace_log for any server that did not startup or shutdown.
If any server that either did not startup or shutdown actually needs to be started up or shut down, refer to the information message and use the StartLServer or StopLServer command to startup or shutdown individually.
Refer to "7.3.3.5 StartLServer (Starts a Server)" and "7.3.3.6 StopLServer (Stops a Server)" in the Reference Guide CE for details on this command.
When an error has occurred during a cancellation application by a tenant user, the cancellation application may become impossible.
In that case, confirm the system ID of the L-Platform, and use the Disable L-Platform Application command to make the cancellation application possible again for the user.
For information on the Disable L-Platform Application command, refer to "5.5 recoverService (Disable L-Platform Application)" in the Reference Guide CE.
When using activity monitoring on an L-Platform, it needs to be deployed specifying an L-Server template in which the setting of activity monitoring is enabled.
For information on creating L-Server templates, refer to "8.1.2.1 Creating a Physical L-Server Template" in the User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management)
Additionally, in order to change the setting after the deployment, use the "rcxadm lserver modify" command.
For information on the "rcxadm lserver modify" command, refer to "1.3.1 rcxadm lserver" in the Reference Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management)
