This section explains how to allocate resources to, and release resources from, L-Servers and how to modify configuration definition information.
When an L-Server is started, resources are allocated to it.
For details on how to start an L-Server, refer to "11.1.1 Starting an L-Server".
Server and disk resources are allocated to the L-Server, when an L-Server is first started. When cloning images are specified, deployment of images is also performed.
When server resources of L-Servers have been released, server resources will be allocated.
When stopping an L-Server, server resources will be released.
For details on how to stop an L-Server, refer to "11.1.2 Stopping an L-Server".
Methods for releasing server resources differ depending on whether the server is a physical L-Server or virtual L-Server.
Physical L-Server
The physical server that was used for the L-Server will be released.
Virtual L-Server
VM guests that are created on VM hosts are excluded from the target for calculation of the total amount of VM host usage.
To modify an L-Server for which a configuration definition has been created (defined), use the following procedure.
When changing the L-Server deployed when creating an L-Platform, use the rcxadm lserver modify command to modify the configuration for alive monitoring.
Right-click the target L-Server in the orchestration tree, and select [Change Settings]-[Definition] from the popup menu.
The [Modify L-Server's definition] dialog is displayed.
Change the items to modify.
For details on setting values in the [Modify L-Server's definition] dialog, refer to "Chapter 10 Creating L-Servers".
Click <OK>.
The L-Server configuration definition information is modified.
From the command-line, execute rcxadm lserver modify.
For details on the rcxadm lserver modify command, refer to "1.3.1 rcxadm lserver" of the "Reference Guide (Resource Management) CE".
Note
When modifying the configuration definition for an already defined L-Server that has been updated from an earlier version, alive monitoring is disabled. When enabling alive monitoring, modify the configuration of the L-Server again.
