This chapter explains how to create L-Servers.
For an overview of the functions, refer to "1.2.3 L-Servers" of the "Setup Guide CE".
L-Servers can be created using the following two methods:
Creation Using an L-Server Template
Resources are automatically selected from a resource pool.
Creation Without Using an L-Server Template
Specify a resource or a resource pool.
Creation Using an L-Server Template
Use the following procedure to create an L-Server using an L-Server template:
When cloning images are not stored in image pools, or when not using cloning images which have been already registered
Select an L-Server template. Specify "None" for images.
For details, refer to "10.1 Creation Using an L-Server Template".
Install an OS manually.
As an L-Server with no OS installed is created, install an OS manually.
For details, refer to "8.6.1 When Collecting Cloning Images from Physical L-Servers" of the "Setup Guide CE".
When cloning images are stored in image pools
Select an L-Server template. Specify a cloning image to deploy.
An L-Server on which a cloning image has been deployed is created.
For details, refer to "10.1 Creation Using an L-Server Template".
Creation Without Using an L-Server Template
For details on how to create specifying individual specifications without using an L-Server template, refer to "10.2 Creation of Physical L-Servers Using Parameters" or "10.3 Creation of Virtual L-Servers Using Parameters".
Note
When using Linux for a physical L-Server, and iSCSI storage for a system disk, an L-Server cannot be created using a cloning image.
When using RHEL5-Xen, L-Server creation and operation using the ROR console cannot be performed. For details, refer to "E.4.4 Setup" of the "Setup Guide CE".

Linking L-Servers with Configured Physical Servers or Virtual Machines
Configured physical servers and virtual machines can be managed by linking them with L-Servers.
The management scope and the scope of use as an L-Server vary depending on the resources used by the configured physical server or virtual machine.
For details, refer to "Chapter 16 Linking L-Servers with Configured Physical Servers or Virtual Machines".
