This section explains the creation of L-Servers.
Use the following procedure to create L-Servers:
Create an L-Server Using an L-Server Template
When there are no cloning images, or when not using already registered cloning images
Create an L-Server, referring to "16.1 Creation Using an L-Server Template" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE". When creating the L-Server, select [None] for images.
Install an OS, referring to "Manual OS Installation".
When collecting cloning images after creating an L-Server, the cloning images are stored in the image pool. When collecting cloning images, refer to "8.2.8 Collecting Cloning Images".
When using an existing cloning image
Create an L-Server, referring to "16.1 Creation Using an L-Server Template" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE". In this case, specify the cloning image that you want to use as an image.
Create an L-Server Specifying Individual Specifications
Refer to "16.3 Creation of Virtual L-Servers Using Parameters" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
For details on the [OS] tab settings, refer to "8.2.9 [OS] Tab Configuration".
Manual OS Installation
To manually install an operating system, use the following procedure.
Stop the L-Server.
If an L-Server is operating, stop it.
For details on how to stop an L-Server, refer to "17.1.2 Stopping an L-Server" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Connect a console to the L-Server.
Connect a console to the L-Server.
For details on how to connect the console, refer to "Console" in "17.3 Using the L-Server Console" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Connect DVD drives.
Perform connection of DVD drives from the console window.
Install an OS manually on the L-Server.
Start an L-Server, and manually install an OS on the L-Server.
When installing an OS manually, refer to the Guest Operating System Installation Guide.
Refer to the relevant version of the document, referring to the following web site:
Guest Operating System Installation Guide

Configuration after OS Installation
Install VMware Tools after installing an OS.
Use the following procedure to install VMware Tools.
Right-click the target L-Server in the orchestration tree, and select [Install VM Tool] from the popup menu.
The confirmation dialog is displayed.
Click the [OK] button.
The ISO images are connected to the L-Server for VM guest.
For details on VMware Tools, refer to the information on VMware Tools in "vSphere Basic System Administration" of VMware.
Refer to the relevant version of the document, referring to the following web site:
vSphere Basic System Administration
URL: http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/ |
Note
When a connection with the ISO image of VMware Tools has already been established, subsequent operations for the connection will be completed normally. In some cases, a task error may be output on VMware vCenter Server. This error is output by ignoring the message already received from VMware vCenter Server that informs the user that connection has already been established, and does not affect the system operations.
When the guest OS is RHEL7, it is necessary to install an additional package.
For details, refer to the "Note" in "8.2.8 Collecting Cloning Images".
