This section explains how to configure a physical L-Server with server, storage, and network specifications configured, without using an L-Server template.
Specify the values on the following tabs:
[General] Tab
[Server] Tab
[Disk] Tab
[Network] Tab
[OS] Tab
Use the following procedure to create L-Servers:
Right-click the target resource folder in the orchestration tree, and select [Create]-[L-Server] from the popup menu.
The [Create an L-Server] dialog is displayed.
On each tab, set the following items.
Click the [OK] button.
The L-Server is created.
Configure the network settings of the OS referring to the IP address and network information of the L-Server if necessary.
For details, refer to "7.8 Network Redundancy and VLAN Settings of L-Servers" in the "Setup Guide CE".
Note
Each item to set has an upper limit. Even when valid values are specified, the creation of an L-Server may fail depending on the availability of resources in resource pools and the hardware configuration.
L-Servers cannot be created for physical servers that are in maintenance mode.
Information
For the storage units that support the setting of LUN alias names, when disk resources are created with Resource Orchestrator, set the alias (if possible) based on the disk resource name in the LUN.
If identical alias names are set for the ETERNUS LUNs, the initial settings for aliases in ETERNUS LUNs are used instead.
The format for the alias name set for the disk resource names and Resource Orchestrator is as follows.
name-x-disky |
name: L-Server name specified by user
x: String in decimal format, uniquely allocated by the manager
y: Decimal representing the disk index
NAMEXXYYYY (maximum 16 characters) |
NAME: String starting at the beginning of name (maximum 11 characters)
XX: Two digit decimal string corresponding to x
YYYY: Three digit decimal string corresponding to y
As the L-Server names that can be reflected in alias are a maximum of 11 characters, the infrastructure administrator should consult with the tenant administrator and determine rules for L-Server names.
If the L-Server name is changed, the disk resource name and aliases in the details about the disk are not changed.
If the disk resources are created from the virtual storage (RAID group, for example) that is the subject of ETERNUS Dynamic LUN Mirroring, the LUN created on the remote site receives the same alias.
If the alias name of the ETERNUS LUN corresponding to the disk created from the virtual storage has been changed using the ETERNUS WebGUI, the alias name in the disk details will be updated with the regular update. The disk resource name is not changed.
