This section explains how to install a VM host on a physical L-Server.
Preparations for Physical L-Server Creation
For physical L-Server creation, configure the necessary settings.
For details, refer to the following:
"D.2 Preparations for Servers" in the "Design Guide CE"
"D.3 Storage Preparations" in the "Design Guide CE"
"D.4 Network Preparations" in the "Design Guide CE"
Create Resource Folders
Create a resource folder to locate physical L-Servers to install VM hosts on.
For details on how to create a resource folder, refer to "21.2 Creating" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Note
In Basic mode, to prevent accidental deletion, create a resource folder for the physical L-Server on which the VM host will be installed, and configure it so that tenant administrators cannot access it.
For details, refer to "5.1 Restricting Access Using Roles" in the "Design Guide CE".
Create Physical L-Servers
Create a physical L-Server to install a VM host in the created resource folder.
For details on how to create a physical L-Server, refer to "B.5 Creating an L-Server".
Note
Cloning images for a physical L-Server on which a VM host has been installed cannot be collected or deployed.
Use the NIC for the public LAN of an L-Server with the status "not connected" without connecting network resources.
Point
If using Auto Deploy to create a VM host, perform the following procedures:
Specify "Do not deploy" for "Image deployment".
Specify "Network boot (PXE)" for "Boot mode".
Install a VM Host
Install a VM host on the created physical L-Server.
When using Auto Deploy to create a VM host, reserve the MAC address of the admin NIC and admin IP address for the physical L-Server on the DHCP server used with Auto Deploy and start the L-Server.
Specify the virtual MAC address configured on VIOM for the MAC address of the admin NIC.
For details, refer to the individual manuals of server virtualization software.
Install Agents
Install a Resource Orchestrator agent and ServerView Agents on a VM host.
If using Auto Deploy to create a VM host, this procedure is not necessary.
For details on installing agents, refer to "2.2 Agent Installation".
Point
When using VMware ESX, install Resource Orchestrator agents and ServerView for VMware agents.
When using VMware ESXi, install ServerView ESXi CIM Provider.
Configure a Network for VM Hosts
When performing auto-configuration for virtual switches during virtual L-Server creation, confirm that Resource Orchestrator is configured to support auto-configuration of networks beforehand.
For details, refer to "C.2.4 Automatic Network Configuration".
Register a VM Host
Registers a VM host with VM management software.
For details, refer to the individual manuals of server virtualization software.
Register VM Management Software
Register VM management software in Resource Orchestrator.
For details, refer to "5.2 Registering VM Management Software" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Register Agents
Register an agent on the physical L-Servers the VM host will be installed on. Execute the following procedure to register agents.
Right-click the target L-Server in the orchestration tree, and select [Register]-[Agent] from the popup menu.
In the displayed "Register Agent" dialog, click <OK>.
Register Resources to a VM Pool
Register a VM host in a VM pool.
For details, refer to "14.1 VM Host Resources" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
