This section explains how to change server role settings.
Set the "Manager" server role for the VM guest on which the ROR manager is running.
This enables restriction of the following operations and functions stopped by the ROR manager, and prevents erroneous operations.

*1: Auto-recovery does not operate. Spare servers will be excluded from the switchover destination.
*2: Recovery cannot be performed even if settings have been completed.
For VM guests with the "Manager" server role, "[Manager]" is displayed after the name in the resource tree.
The server role of "Manager" cannot be specified for the following VM guests.
VM guests linked to virtual L-Servers

VM hosts with running VM guests that have been configured with the "Manager" server role cannot be registered to the server pool of the orchestration tree.

Note
When powering off servers in the event of a power failure or something similar, write down the server name of the VM host on which the manager is running.
After power is restored, start the VM host server first and then other servers can be started from ROR.
