This section explains how to register a cloning image to a resource pool.
When an image (template) has been created in advance using VM management software, register it to the image pool using the following procedure:
When a VM host not managed with server management software is used, it is not necessary to register cloning images.
In the ROR console orchestration tree, right-click the target image pool, and select [Register Resources] from the popup menu.
The [Register Resources] dialog is displayed.
Select a cloning image to register.
Click <OK>.
The cloning image is registered.
Point
[Citrix Xen]
The virtual image resource carries out information acquisition from the pool master of Citrix XenServer registered into this product. When the pool master is not registered, please register a pool master as a VM host. After registration, please perform registration operation after waiting for a while.
Note
For images (templates) created in advance using VM management software, change the name of a template as follows to enable Resource Orchestrator to process it:
Delete any characters other than alphanumeric characters and underscores ("_").
Ensure an alphabetic character is used for the first character.
When using an image created beforehand (template), configure the system disk for template using the following settings:
[VMware]
SCSI:0:0
[Hyper-V]
IDE:0:0
[OVM for x86 2.2]
For PVM (Para-Virtualized Machine)
xvda
For HVM (Hardware Virtualized Machine)
hda
[Citrix Xen]
userdevice:0
[OVM for x86 3.2]
Slot 0
When using something other than the above for the system disk, the L-Server creation process that accompanies cloning image deployment may fail.
Please note the following points when creating the image (template) with the VM management product.
[Citrix Xen]
Do not use single quotation (') for the image name.
