5.11 Registering Admin LAN Subnets

This section explains how to perform admin LAN subnet registration.

Registering admin LAN subnets enables management of managed servers belonging to subnets other than that of the admin LAN.

Apply the Cloud Edition license before registering an admin LAN subnet.

Use the following procedure to register an admin LAN subnet.

  1. From the ROR console menu, select [Settings]-[Admin LAN Subnet].

    The [Admin LAN Subnet] dialog is displayed.

  2. Click the [Add] button.

    The [Add Admin LAN Subnet] dialog is displayed.

  3. Perform the following settings:

    Subnet name

    Set the subnet name for registration.
    Enter a character string beginning with an alphabetic character and containing up to 16 alphanumeric characters, underscores ("_"), hyphens ("-"), and periods (".").

    Network address

    Configure the network address of the subnet used as the admin LAN.
    Enter valid values for the network address.

    Subnet mask

    Enter valid values for the subnet mask.

    Gateway

    Enter the settings for the gateway used for communication with the admin server on the admin LAN.

  4. Click the [OK] button.

Information

When registering an admin LAN subnet for the first time, change the simplified DHCP service for Resource Orchestrator to the OS standard DHCP Service.
Resource Orchestrator takes exclusive possession of the OS standard DHCP Service.

Note

  • It is necessary to perform network settings for each admin LAN subnet so that managed servers belonging to subnets other than the admin LAN can communicate with the admin server.

    For details on how to configure the network settings, refer to "Chapter 9 Defining and Configuring the Network Environment" in the "Design Guide CE".

  • In a clustered manager configuration, when registering an admin LAN subnet for the first time, perform "Settings for Clustered Manager Configurations".

  • When managing a managed server in a separate subnet from the admin server, an OS standard DHCP server is necessary.

    For details, refer to "2.1.1.2 Software Preparation and Checks" or "2.1.2.2 Software Preparation and Checks" in the "Setup Guide CE".


Settings for Clustered Manager Configurations

The following configuration is necessary only when registering an admin LAN subnet for the first time.
