This section explains how to configure a virtual 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.
Set the items required in each tab, and click [OK] to create the L-Server.
[OVM for SPARC]
After creating an L-Server, it is necessary to carry out operations based on the environment.
For details, refer to "Operations after creating an L-Server" of "8.8.6 Creating 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, the hardware configuration, and the VM management software specifications.
When creating a virtual L-Server, if there are any values configured in the VM specific information definition file, those values are used.
For details on VM specific information definition files, refer to "8.1 Definition Files Commonly Shared when Creating Virtual L-Servers" and "Appendix G Definition Files" in the "Setup Guide CE".
[Xen]
When using RHEL5-Xen, L-Server creation cannot be performed using the ROR console. Use the rcxadm lserver command.
For details on the rcxadm lserver command, refer to "3.6 rcxadm lserver" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
[Hyper-V]
When using dynamic memory or memory weight, the VM host must be either of the following.
Microsoft(R) Windows Server(R) 2008 R2 SP1 or later
Microsoft(R) Windows Server(R) 2012 or later
SCVMM must be one of the following, either of which can manage the VM hosts.
System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 SP1 or later
System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager or later
When creating an L-Server for which dynamic memory is enabled or memory weight is specified, creation of the L-Server will fail unless there are a VM host and SCVMM satisfying the conditions above.
[Solaris Zones]
Calculate the cap value to configure for the non-global zone from the number of CPUs and the CPU performance.
For details, refer to "8.7.7 Creating L-Servers" in the "Setup Guide CE".
[Solaris Zones] [OVM for SPARC]
When a VM host not managed with server management software is used, virtual L-Servers cannot be created.
In this case, link L-Servers with configured virtual machines.
For details, refer to "Chapter 18 Linking L-Servers with Configured Physical Servers or Virtual Machines".
