8.3.11 L-Platform Reconfiguration

The system configuration that configures the L-Platform in use can be modified on the Reconfigure page.

Note

  • Reconfigure page allows the configuration of the L-Platform to be modified. However, this may only be used when modifications to the configuration of the L-Platform template have been allowed by the infrastructure administrator.

  • In a reconfiguration of a deployed server, which items can be changed depends on the type and the power status of the server.

    [Virtual server]

      Items other than the following can be changed:

      • Host name

      • VM pool

      • Storage pool and disk capacity of the system disk

      • Storage pool and disk capacity of the deployed data disk

      • IP address

      • Number of NIC

    • The server is running

      The following items can be changed:

      • Change the system name

      • Change the server name

    If Server Type is changed, the following items are changed at the same time.

    • Heartbeat

    • Redundancy

    • Automatic server release


    [Physical server]

    Regardless of the power status, only the following items can be changed.

    • Server name

    • Server type

    • Boot priority

  • Regardless of whether or not an L-Platform reconfiguration completion notification email is received, check with the Infrastructure Administrator if an L-Platform is not changed. In this case, the change processing may have failed at the virtual server.

  • If a Solaris container management server is included, configuration modification is not possible.

  • If Server Type is changed, the following items are changed at the same time.

    • Number of CPUs

    • CPU Performance

    • CPU Reserved

    • CPU Shares/ CPU Weight

    • Memory Size

    • Memory Reserved/Memory RAM

    • Memory Shares/ Memory Weight

    • Heartbeat

    • Redundancy

    • Automatic server release

    If it is needed to change only Redundancy, Heartbeat, or Automatic server release, set the CPU and memory items again to the previous values after changing Server Type.

Follow the steps below to modify the system configuration that configures the L-Platform in use:

  1. Display the L-Platform Details page.
    Refer to "8.3.2 L-Platform Detailed Information Display" for information on how to display the page.

  2. Click the Reconfigure button and display the Reconfigure page.

  3. Modify the system configuration as required on the Reconfigure page.

    Usage fees corresponding to the system reconfiguration will be displayed in the top-right of the window.

    Point

    Estimated charges for the L-Platform will only be displayed when the usage fees display is set to enabled.
    The displayed usage fees will be calculated according to current prices, and not according to prices at the time of deployment.

    Note

    The size and pool cannot be changed for system disks and extended disks that have already been deployed. If a cloning image associated with the image information includes a data disk, changes to the number of disks cannot be made until deployment is complete.

  4. When the L-Platform is modified, click the Next button.
    The Confirm page will be displayed.

    The difference between the old L-Platform and the new L-Platform is displayed as follows:

    Item

    Display format

    Item changed

    The background of the deleted item is displayed in gray.

    Point

    CSV output

    When the Save as CSV button is clicked, the Select the destination to save window is displayed where the L-Platform template can be saved as a CSV file.
    The default CSV file name format is shown below. This file name can be modified as necessary.

    SystemConfiguration (+ <L-Platform name> +)_ <date> + .csv

    Save specification

    Click the Save Configuration button to save the L-Platform configuration, and the display returns to the Management page.
    When the L-Platform template is saved, an icon () will be displayed after the L-Platform template name.

  5. Check the displayed contents of the L-Platform configuration, and click the Next button.
    The Agreement page will be displayed.

  6. Check the license agreement displayed. Select the Agree the license check box, and then, click the Reconfigure button.

    Point

    When the application process is enabled, clicking of the Reconfigure button on the Agreement page displays the Forward screen window. Refer to "8.5 Select Forward Destination of Application Process" for details.

    The Complete page will be displayed when an application for modification of an L-Platform is accepted.

    • When the application process is disabled

      The following message will be displayed:
      "The request to reconfigure the L-Platform has been completed. The reconfiguration take some time to complete."

    • When the application process is enabled

      The following message will be displayed:
      "The request to reconfigure the L-Platform has been completed. The L-Platform will be reconfigured after approval and/or judgement procedures."

Point

When an L-Platform is changed, an L-Platform reconfiguration completion notification email is sent to the subscriber.

If an L-Platform change fails, an L-Platform reconfiguration failure notification email is sent to the subscriber and the Infrastructure Administrator. In this case, check with the Infrastructure Administrator about the action required.
