To create a physical L-Server without specifying a model name in the L-Server template, create the definition file, define the configuration information (CPU core count, CPU clock speed, memory capacity, etc.), and then register the server as a managed server.
When creating a physical L-Server using a rack mount or tower server managed by VIOM, it is also necessary to define the information of the card mounted on the server.
In the following cases, create the definition file first, and then register the hardware information with Resource Orchestrator again.
If the target server was registered with Resource Orchestrator before creation of the definition file
When modifying the configuration information (CPU core count, CPU clock speed, memory capacity, etc.) in the definition file of a server that has been registered with Resource Orchestrator
For details, refer to "Chapter 9 Hardware Maintenance" in the "Operation Guide CE".
Note
If the value entered in the definition file differs from the actual configuration information of the server, creation or starting of physical L-Servers may fail, or physical servers may be deployed with incorrect information about CPU and memory.
Be sure to confirm that the values entered in the definition file and the actual configuration information of the server are the same.

The following line must be entered in the first line of definition files.
ServerSpec,V1.1 |
In the definition file, enter the configuration information (CPU core count, CPU clock speed, memory capacity, card information, etc.), separated by commas (",").
When defining two or more servers, use line breaks.
Each line is entered in the following format.
model_name, cpu_core_count, cpu_clock, memory_size, cpu_type[, cardinfo] |
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 ("#").
Enter the model name of the managed server.
Enter "[" for the first character, and "]" for the last character.
The model name displayed in the General information of the Resource Details window.
Enter the same physical server name as the one entered when registering a managed server.
Enter a character string beginning with an alphabetical character and containing up to 15 alphanumeric characters and hyphens ("-").
Enter the total number of physical CPU cores.
Enter an integer between 0 and 999.
When entering "0", hyphens ("-") are displayed in the basic information on the resource details screen, and physical L-Servers cannot be created.
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.
When entering "0", hyphens ("-") are displayed in the basic information on the resource details screen, and physical L-Servers cannot be created.
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.
When entering "0", hyphens ("-") are displayed in the basic information on the resource details screen, and physical L-Servers cannot be created.
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.
Enter the information for cards mounted on servers.
When creating a physical L-Server using a rack mount or tower server managed by VIOM, describe the information of the card mounted on the server.
Card information can be omitted. If omitted, the following is described for the hardware configuration (The admin LAN uses OnboardLAN).
RX200S7 or later: Onboard LAN1, OnboardLAN2, PCISlot1 (LAN) 2Port, PCISlot2 (FC) 2Port, PCISlot3 (FC) 2Port RX300S7 or later: Onboard LAN1, OnboardLAN2, PCISlot1 (LAN) 2Port, PCISlot2 (LAN) 2Port, PCISlot3 (FC) 2Port, PCISlot4 (FC) 2Port Other than the above: Onboard LAN1, OnboardLAN2 |
Enter the information in the following format for each card. Use colons (":") to separate each piece of card information.
Card type
Enter one of the following card types:
- "LAN"
- "FC"
- "CNA"
When entering characters other than the above, the card information will be invalid.
Slot type
Enter the slot type.
Enter an integer between 0 and 9 for the slot type as below.
- "0": Onboard
- "1" to "9": PCI slot numbers
Port number
Enter the port numbers. Enter an integer between 1 and 9 for the port number, preceded by a hyphen ("-").
Flags to confirm if the LAN card is used for an admin LAN
When using a LAN card for an admin LAN, enter "**" or "*" to indicate that the LAN card is used for an admin LAN.
When using the card for a LAN other than an admin LAN, do not enter anything.
Enabled when the card type is set to "LAN" or "CNA".
- The card for the primary admin LAN: Enter "*".
- The card for the secondary admin LAN: Enter "**".
- A card not for an admin LAN: Leave blank.
Enter the order of the definition of the LAN or CNA as follow:
Primary_admin_LAN -> Secondary_admin_LAN -> Public_LAN |
Example
An example definition file is indicated below.
