7.2.3 Importing to L-Platform

This section explains how to import physical servers, virtual machines, and L-Servers to an L-Platform.

There are the following two ways of importing physical servers, virtual machines, and L-Servers to the L-Platform Management function:

Convert configured physical servers or virtual machines into L-Servers, then import the converted L-Servers to the L-Platform
Follow the procedure described below to convert configured physical servers or virtual machines into L-Servers and import to the L-Platform:
1. Convert the physical servers or virtual machines into L-Servers
  Refer to "Use of Physical Servers or Virtual Machines as L-Servers".
2. Network Information Settings for Converted L-Servers
  Refer to "7.2.3.1 Network Information Settings for Converted L-Servers".
3. Importing the L-Server for which network information has been set
  Refer to "7.2.3.2 Importing L-Servers".
Import L-Servers created in the ROR console into the L-Platform
Refer to "7.2.3.2 Importing L-Servers".

7.2.3.1 Network Information Settings for Converted L-Servers

Set the network information for the L-Servers converted in "Use of Physical Servers or Virtual Machines as L-Servers".

Execute the rcxadm lserver attach -define command to set network information.

The setting of network information via the command rcxadm lserver attach -define can only be performed on the L-Server before it is imported into the L-Platform management function.

Also, the rcxadm lserver attach -define command can only be executed if using Solaris container.

If adding multiple network interface cards (NICs), execute the command rcxadm lserver attach -define only the same number of times as there are NICs being added.

Refer to "3.6 rcxadm lserver" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE" for details.

7.2.3.2 Importing L-Servers

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 "12.4 cfmg_importlserver (Import L-Server)" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE" for details on this command.

Note

When an L-Server for infrastructure administrator is imported to an L-Platform, the operation privileges of the L-Server are transferred to the tenant administrator or the tenant user.
When this L-Server is released from the L-Platform by the cfmg_deletelserver command, the L-Server is changed back to the one for infrastructure administrator.
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, switch the power off for the L-Server targeted for import.
Do not import physical L-Servers that have VM hosts installed. Refer to "Appendix D Installing VM Hosts on Physical L-Servers" in the "Setup Guide CE" for information on installing VM hosts on a physical L-Server.
