Explanation of Items

The following explains the items in the Set Basic Info page:

Item name	Explanation
Tenant	Click the [Set] button, and then select the tenant to which the image information belongs from the [Tenant Select] window. A tenant can be selected only if information is being created or copied. Note that, when copying an L-Platform template, a global template can be changed into a tenant-specific template but, conversely, a tenant-specific template cannot be changed into a global template.
Image information name	Enter up to 85 characters (excluding <, >, &, ", and ') for the image information name
Type	Selects the registered L-Server template. The following L-Server templates will not be displayed: L-Server templates in which a model name is specified are not displayed. An L-Server template that does not specify a model name must be prepared before image information can be created for a physical L-Server. L-Server templates with data disks are not displayed. Register the number of disks as 1 when using with an L-Platform template. If the server virtualization software is OVM for x86, L-Server templates specifying OVM 2.x(Oracle VM) are not displayed. L-Server templates with different cloning images and server virtualization products are not displayed.
Usage	Selects the usage of the server included in the image from those shown below. Multiple options can be selected. WEB: Web Server AP: Application Server DB: DB Server
VDI	Select whether to perform VDI coordination. When performing VDI coordination, select the [Enabled] checkbox. This can only be specified when creating the information of a new image. When performing VDI coordination, it is assumed that the software necessary for VDI coordination has been installed on the cloning image that is used for the image information. When performing VDI coordination, deployment is only possible in the L-Platform template. Addition to an already deployed L-Platform is not possible. VDI coordination is only possible when the OS of a cloning image is Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1. If VDI coordination is attempted with an OS other than the above, deployment will fail.
System disk	Specify the size of the system disk for the server to be deployed. Range: 0.1-99999.9 GB. If one of the following conditions is satisfied, specify the same size as the system disk of the cloning image, because the system disk will be deployed with that size regardless of this setting. The server virtualization software is OVM for x86 or Citrix XenServer. The server virtualization software is RHEL-KVM, and the image location type of the cloning image is "Virtual Disk".
Maximum number of CPUs	Specifies the maximum number of CPUs that can be specified when creating a new L-Platform. Specify a value in the range from 1 to the upper limit value for the registered VM pool. When the [Don't set upper value] check box is selected, behavior will be as if the maximum value of the registered VM pool has been specified.
Maximum CPU performance	Specifies the maximum CPU performance in GHz, which can be specified when creating a new L-Platform. Specify a value in the range from 0.1 to the upper limit value for the registered VM pool. When the [Don't set upper value] check box is selected, behavior will be as if the maximum value of the registered VM pool has been specified. This cannot be specified if the server virtualization software is OVM for SPARC.
Maximum memory	Specifies the maximum memory size in GB, which can be specified when creating a new L-Platform. Specify a value in the range from 0.1 to the upper limit value for the registered VM pool. When the [Don't set upper value] check box is selected, behavior will be as if the maximum value of the registered VM pool has been specified. If the server virtualization software is RHEL-KVM, the value must be less than or equal to max_definable_memory_size when memory hot plug is enabled in a VM specific information definition file. Notify the tenant administrator to specify a value less than max_definable_memory_size. Refer to "8.1.2 VM Specific Information Definition File" in the "Setup Guide CE" for information on the VM specific information definition file.
Maximum number of data disks	Specifies the maximum number of data disks that can be added to the server. Range: 0-99. However, if the image includes a data disk, the minimum will be the maximum value of the data disk number.
Maximum data disk size	Specifies the maximum size of the data disk size in GB, which can be specified when creating a new L-Platform. Specify a value in the range from 0.1 to the upper limit value for the registered storage pool. However, if the image includes a data disk, the minimum will be the largest disk capacity of all appended data disks. When the [Don't set upper value] check box is selected, behavior will be as if the maximum value of the registered storage pool has been specified.
Maximum system disk size	Specifies the maximum size of the system disk size in GB, which can be specified when creating a new L-Platform. The minimum allowed value is the disk size of the cloning image, and the maximum allowed value is the upper limit of the registered storage pool. When the Don't set upper value check box is selected, behavior will be as if the maximum value of the registered storage pool has been specified.
Maximum number of NICs	Specifies the number of NICs. Range: 1-99.
