This section explains how to create a network resource and register the resource in a network pool.
Network resources can be created using the following methods:
Creating new network resources
Refer to "14.3.1 Creating New Network Resources".
Creating network resources using already registered admin LAN subnets
Refer to "14.3.2 Creating Network Resources Using Already Registered Admin LAN Subnets".
The network resource for the admin LAN that is directly connected from the manager is automatically created with the values of "AdminLan" for the network resource name and "1" for the VLAN ID.
To change these values, delete "AdminLan", and then create a new network resource following the procedure provided in "14.3.2 Creating Network Resources Using Already Registered Admin LAN Subnets".
When configuring the subnet settings in network resources, confirm that the following IP addresses are not included in the subnet scope. Set them as excluded addresses when they are included in the subnet scope.
IP addresses of detected, unregistered servers
IP addresses of VM management software
Admin LAN IP addresses for LAN switch blades
IP address of the default gateway
iRMC addresses
IP addresses and virtual IP addresses of network devices
Information
As the virtual IP addresses configured using simple configuration mode for auto-configuration of network devices are automatically allocated from network resources, it is not necessary to configure them as excluded IP addresses.
Note
In order to connect with an installation server, the admin LAN IP address is necessary when creating an L-Server with an image specified.
Therefore, create admin LAN network resources for the admin LAN for the VM host, in the pool within the user's access scope.
When using [Function number expansion (Onboard)] on a physical L-Server, create an admin resource with a VLAN ID of 2 - 4094, as it is necessary to allocate a VLAN ID within this range as the UMC LPVID.
