This section explains system configuration when creating a physical L-Server.
Prerequisites
To create a physical L-Server, Virtual I/O using VIOM or HBA address rename is required.
For details on VIOM, refer to the ServerView Virtual-IO Manager manual.
For details on HBA address rename, refer to "5.5.3 HBA address rename Settings" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Usage methods of VIOM and HBA address rename differ depending on the hardware of managed servers used to configure a physical L-Server.
Blade Servers
Use VIOM.
Rack Mount Servers
Use HBA address rename.
In other cases, link L-Servers with configured physical servers. For details, refer to "Chapter 18 Linking L-Servers with Configured Physical Servers or Virtual Machines" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Note
When using iSCSI boot, VIOM is required in the server environment.
Example of System Configuration using VIOM's Virtual I/O
An example system configuration for L-Server creation using Virtual I/O by VIOM is given below.
Install ServerView Virtual-IO Manager on the admin server.
