Point
Setting the method for setting resource names allows the names of virtual servers created using L-PlatformSubscription (L-Server names) to be made to match any of the following. Performing this setting allows servers to be identified easily:
Server ID
Host name
Server name
In this product, the method for setting resource names for the L-Platform to be deployed can be selected from a number of methods.
The target resources are as follows:
Folder
L-Server
The following methods for setting resource names can be selected for these resources:
Setting method number | String set as the folder name |
|---|---|
1 | L-Platform ID (the default method) |
2 | |
3 |
Setting method number | String set as the L-Server name |
|---|---|
1 | Server ID (the default method) |
2 | |
3 |
Use the following procedure to specify the setting method:
Open the definition file in a text editor.
The definition file is stored in the following location:
[Windows]
<Installation directory for this product >\RCXCFMG\config\vsys_config.xml
[Linux]
/etc/opt/FJSVcfmg/config/vsys_config.xml
Add the following keys and values:
Key name | Setting range | Content |
|---|---|---|
folder-name-method | 1 to 3 | Specify the method for setting folder names. If this key is omitted, "1" will be used as the default value. Note: The numbers correspond to the setting method numbers in the table in "Folder name". |
lserver-name-method | 1 to 3 | Specify the method for setting L-Server names. If this key is omitted, "1" will be used as the default value. Note: The numbers correspond to the setting method numbers in the table in "L-Server name". |
A specification example is shown below:
Example
<properties version="1.0">
:
<entry key="folder-name-method">2</entry>
<entry key="lserver-name-method">2</entry>Save the file.
Restart the manager.
Refer to "7.2 Starting and Stopping the Manager" in the Setup Guide CE for information on how to Restart the manager.
Folder name
The L-Platform deployed by ROR Console are in a 1:1 correspondence with folders.
By changing the method for setting folder names, the L-Platform or tenant deployed by ROR Console can be made to correspond to folders more easily.
This method sets the L-Platform ID as the name of the folder corresponding to the L-Platform to be deployed.
The L-Platform ID will be a string with 9 digits of random alphanumeric characters added to the first 8 characters of the tenant name.
Example
The result will be the following kind of string:
sosiki1-WCJFRUH6L
This setting is the default setting for ROR Console It is recommended that this setting method be used in operational situations where there is no need to have the L-Platform deployed by this product correspond to r folders.
This method sets the tenant ID followed by a four-digit serial number as the name of the folder corresponding to the L-Platform to be deployed.
Example
The result will be the following kind of string:
sosiki1-0001
This string is not displayed in the L-Platform management window for ROR Console, and so in order to maintain correspondence between the L-Platform deployed by this product and folders it is necessary to look up the system name and other information that have been set in the comment field for the folder.
It is recommended that this setting method be used when the correspondence between folders and each organization needs only to be maintained for operational purposes.
Note
Do not use this setting method in environments where a cumulative total of 10,000 or more systems are expected to be deployed within a single tenant.
If a cumulative total of 10,000 or more systems are deployed, the deployment will be executed normally, but a serial number with five or more digits will be added to the folder name.
If the tenant name exceeds 28 characters, it will become a tenant name with a serial number added to the first 27 characters of the tenant name.
This method sets the tenant name followed by the system name specified with the L-Platform management window as the name of the folder corresponding to the L-Platform to be deployed.
Example
The result will be the following kind of string:
sosiki1-system1
Because the system name specified by the user is included within the folder name as shown above, it is easier to find the system within the ROR Console than the "system ID".
However, with this setting method, the string specified for the system name must consist of no more than 23 characters (alphanumeric characters, underscores and hyphens).
It is recommended that this setting method be used if there is no operational requirement to specify Japanese text for system names.
L-Server name
The servers deployed by this product correspond to the L-Servers.
By changing the method for setting L-Server names, the servers deployed by ROR Console can be made to correspond to L-Servers more easily.
This method sets the server ID as the name of the L-Server that corresponds to the server to be deployed.
The server ID is a string where a four-digit serial number has been added to the L-Platform ID.
Example
The result will be the following kind of string:
sosiki1-WCJFRUH6L-S-0001
The server ID is not displayed in the L-Platform management window, and so in order to maintain correspondence between L-Servers and the servers deployed by ROR Console it is necessary to check the IP address and so on.
This setting method is the default setting for this product. It is recommended that this setting method be used in operational situations such as when there is no need to have the servers deployed by ROR Console correspond to L-Servers.
This method sets the host name (computer name) as the name of the L-Server that corresponds to the server to be deployed.
The host name can be looked up in the operation window for the virtualization software (such as VMware) and in guest operating systems. For this reason, it is recommended that this setting method be used when it is necessary to maintain server correspondence between this product and the virtualization software.
This method sets the server name specified with the L-Platform management window as the name of the L-Server that corresponds to the server to be deployed.
It is recommended that this setting method be used in situations such as when there is a need to have the servers deployed by this product correspond to L-Servers.
However, with this setting method, the string specified for the server name must consist of no more than 64 characters (alphanumeric characters, underscores and hyphens) that start with an alphanumeric character.
