C.1.4 Configuration when Creating a Virtual L-Server Using a Server which cannot Use ServerView Agents

As ServerView Agents cannot be used for the following servers, the hardware configuration information (CPU core count, CPU clock speed, memory capacity, etc.) cannot be acquired.

When creating a virtual L-Server after installing VM management software on the servers above, it is necessary to register a managed server, after creating a definition file first, and defining the configuration information.

In the following cases, create the definition file first, and then register the hardware information with Resource Orchestrator again.

For details, refer to "Chapter 9 Hardware Maintenance" in the "Operation Guide CE".

Note

When there are differences between the values in the definition file and the actual configuration information of the server, creation or starting of the virtual L-Server may fail, or the virtual machine may be deployed using incorrect CPU and memory information.

Be sure to confirm that the values entered in the definition file and the actual configuration information of the server are the same.

Storage Location of the Definition File

[Windows Manager]
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\customize_data

[Linux Manager]
/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/customize_data

Definition File Name

server_spec.rcxprop

Character Code

[Windows Manager] [Linux Manager]
UTF-8

Line Break Code

[Windows Manager]
CR/LF

[Linux Manager]
LF

Definition File Format
  • The following line must be entered in the first line of definition files.

    ServerSpec,V1.0

  • In the definition file, enter the configuration information (CPU core count, CPU clock speed, memory capacity, etc.), separated by commas (",").

    When defining two or more servers, use line breaks.
    Each line is entered in the following format.

    physical_server, cpu_core_count, cpu_clock, memory_size[, cpu_type]

  • Blank spaces between data and commas (",") are ignored.

    If there is duplicated configuration information (CPU core count, CPU clock speed, memory capacity, etc.) for the same physical server, the values that appear first will be used.

  • When adding comments, start the line with a number sign ("#").

Definition File Items
physical_server

Enter the same physical server name as the one entered when registering a managed server.

cpu_core_count

Enter the total number of physical CPU cores.
Enter an integer between 0 and 999.
If "0" is entered, a hyphen ("-") will be displayed in the General information of the Resource Details window, indicating that no virtual L-Server will be created.

cpu_clock

Enter the CPU clock speed.
Enter an integer between 0 and 999,999.
Use megahertz for the unit. Enter 1,000 MHz for 1 GHz, for example.
If "0" is entered, a hyphen ("-") will be displayed in the General information of the Resource Details window, indicating that no virtual L-Server will be created.

memory_size

Enter the total memory size.
Enter an integer between 0 and 999999999.
Use megabytes for the unit. Enter 1,024 MB for 1 GB, for example.
If "0" is entered, a hyphen ("-") will be displayed in the General information of the Resource Details window, indicating that no virtual L-Server will be created.

cpu_type

Enter the CPU type.
The string must be composed of alphanumeric characters and symbols (ASCII characters 0x20 to 0x7e), except for commas (","), and can be up to 64 characters long.
When omitted, a hyphen ("-") is displayed.

Example

An example definition file is indicated below.
