Note

Operations for an L-Server included in an L-Platform using the ROR console and commands have limits. Use of the console and moving of an L-Server (migration) between VM hosts are only possible when using the ROR console. Use of commands and moving of an L-Server (migration) between VM hosts are only possible when using the ROR console.
When an L-Platform is included in a resource folder or a tenant folder, the L-Server under the L-Platform is not the target of batch power operations.
When operating a physical server or a VM guest related to an L-Server using the server tree on the ROR console or using commands, consider also the effects on L-Servers.
