This section explains how to operate an L-Server template.
An L-Server template comprises pre-defined specifications (number of CPUs, memory capacity, disk capacity, number of NICs, etc.) for an L-Server. Use the following XML format.
There are two ways to create an L-Server template:
Using the Wizard GUI
L-Server templates can be created using the wizard GUI.
For details, refer to "15.1 Operations Using the Wizard GUI".
Point
[Windows Manager]
When creating L-Server templates using the wizard GUI, it is not possible to specify virtual machine storage policies.
To specify virtual machine storage policies, create L-Server templates using the editor.
Creation Using an Editor
L-Server templates can be created using an editor.
For details, refer to "15.2 Editing a Template Using an Editor".
Use the UTF-8 character code for L-Server templates.
Note
When registering the L-Server template to be used on the L-Platform, note the following:
If using server virtualization software other than VMware, ensure that the VM type has been specified.
L-Server templates with extended disks cannot be used. Register 1 for the number of disks.
Physical L-Server templates that specify a model name cannot be used. Also, ensure that the number of CPUs, CPU performance, and memory size have been specified.
Specify only one NIC definition. Also, if less NICs are configured in the L-Platform server than in the L-Server template, the L-Platform will fail to deploy or servers will fail to be added.
L-Server templates whose "ServerImageLink" is enabled cannot be used.
If an L-Server template whose "ServerImageLink" is enabled is used, deploying an L-Platform or adding a server may fail.
When enabling [Function number expansion (Onboard)], add the same number of NICs as the number of functions using the L-Platform template.
For example, when [Function number expansion (Onboard)] is set to "2" for a physical server environment with only onboard CNA, it is necessary to set four NICs for four functions (two ports x two functions).
