Virtual machines of server virtualization software supported by Resource Orchestrator can be managed as virtual L-Servers in the following cases:
When the virtual machine is managed by VM management software
When a Solaris zone is used
When OVM for SPARC is used.
For the server virtualization software supported by Resource Orchestrator, refer to "2.4.2.1 Required Basic Software" and "2.4.2.4 Required Software" in the "Design Guide CE".
Server virtualization software supported by this function is as follows:
VMware
Hyper-V
Solaris Zones
OVM for SPARC
Citrix Xen
OVM for x86 3.2
Note
If "2.4.2.4 Required Software" in the "Design Guide CE" is not installed, a new L-Server cannot be deployed on that VM host.
When using VMware, the virtual machine on a VM host which is not managed with VM management software can be linked to an L-Server. Power operations (starting up, stopping, and restarting) and modification of basic information (label/comments) can be performed for the L-Server.
When using Hyper-V, the virtual machine on a VM host which is not managed with VM management software cannot be linked to an L-Server.
When using Citrix Xen, the virtual machine with which Home Server is not set cannot be linked to an L-Server.
When using OVM for x86 3.2, the link between a virtual machine and L-Server on the VM host not managed with the VM management software is not supported.
