This section explains how to create an address set resource and register the resource in an address pool.
In the following cases, it is necessary to create address set resources and register them in the address pool:
When Creating Physical L-Servers
For blade servers
For WWNs and MAC addresses, it is necessary to create address set resources and register them in the address pool.
For rack mount servers
For WWNs, it is necessary to create address set resources and register them in the address pool.
It is not necessary to create or register address set resources, since MAC addresses allocated to network adapters of physical servers are used.
When creating a virtual L-Server with the VM type "RHEL-Xen", "RHEL-KVM", or "Citrix Xen"
For MAC addresses, it is necessary to create address set resources and register them in the address pool.
When performing auto-configuration of network devices using simple configuration mode
When managing the virtual IP addresses (public IP addresses) used for address translation functions of firewalls, and allocating them automatically, it is necessary to create the address set resources of global IP addresses and register them in the address pool.
Note
Specify a name different from the resource name of the network resource (address set name) for the address set resource name.
Use the following procedure to create an address set resource and register it in an address pool:
Registration in Address Pools (WWNs)
To register a WWN in an address pool, execute the rcxadm addrset create command.
For details on the rcxadm addrset create command, refer to "3.1 rcxadm addrset" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
Registration in Address Pools (MAC Addresses)
To register a MAC address in an address pool, execute the rcxadm addrset create command.
For details on the rcxadm addrset create command, refer to "3.1 rcxadm addrset" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
Registration in Address Pools (Global IP Addresses)
To register a global IP address in an address pool, execute the rcxadm addrset create command.
Register the global IP addresses so they are not shared between tenants in the local pool.
In Disaster Recovery environments, switchover of global IP addresses is not supported. Do not register global IP addresses.
For details on the rcxadm addrset create command, refer to "3.1 rcxadm addrset" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
An address set resource will be created and registered in the address pool.
