This section explains XML files for changing the network of physical L-Servers from the operation network to the quarantine network.
Purpose
The XML files necessary for changing the network physical L-Servers are connected to from the operation network to the quarantine network.
Creation and storing of XML files for changing the network to the quarantine network is possible even when Resource Orchestrator is operating.
Creating XML Files for Changing the Network to the Quarantine Network
Execute the following command to output the base XML file for changing the network.
> rcxadm lserver show -name L-Server_name -format xml <RETURN>
Delete any unnecessary information from the output XML file and edit the content as shown in "Format of XML Files for Changing the Network of Physical L-Servers".
The Resources, LServer, and NICs elements must be included.
Depending on the details of the quarantine network, modify the values for "name" in the NetworkLink element and "address" in the IpAddress element.
Format of XML Files for Changing the Network of Physical L-Servers
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Resources> <LServer name="L-Server_name"> <NICs> <NIC> <NICIndex>NIC_index</NICIndex> <MacAddress auto="false"></MacAddress> <NetworkLinks> <NetworkLink name="Network_name" index="Network_index" vlan_mode="VLAN_mode"> <IpAddress auto="Automatic_IP_configuration" address="IP_address"/> </NetworkLink> </NetworkLinks> </NIC> <NIC> <NICIndex>NIC_index</NICIndex> <MacAddress auto="false"></MacAddress> <NetworkLinks> <NetworkLink name="Network_name" index="Network_index" vlan_mode="VLAN_mode"> <IpAddress auto="Automatic_IP_configuration" address="IP_address"/> </NetworkLink> </NetworkLinks> </NIC> *Specify as many NIC elements as the number of management network and business network NICs </NICs> </LServer> </Resources>
Element Name | Description | Remarks (Possible Values, Examples) |
---|---|---|
NIC index (NICIndex) | Number to identify the NIC definition to allocate to the L-Server | Specify an integer between 0 and 31 starting with "0". For physical L-Servers, specify the NIC number defined for the rack mount server decided in "9.3.5 Pre-configuring Managed Servers" in the "Design Guide CE" with 1 subtracted from it. Example If "1" is defined for the NIC number placed on the upper left of the back face of a rack mount server, specify "0". |
VLAN mode (NetworkLink vlan_mode) | VLAN mode (optional) | Specify a VLAN mode. The IP address can be specified using the following methods:
When vlan_mode is omitted, tagged VLAN communication is used. |
MAC_address (MacAddress) | The MAC address to allocate to the L-Server NIC | The WWN can be specified using the following methods: <MacAddress auto="false"></MacAddress> |
Network_name (NetworkLink name) | Name of the network that the L-Server connects to | Specify the name of an existing network resource. If the target network resource is an admin LAN resource, specify "untagged" for vlan_mode. As a quarantine network resource cannot be an admin LAN resource, this condition does not apply when changing the definition of the quarantine network. |
Network_index (Index) | The network index | Specify a network index. The index starts from "0". |
IP_address (IpAddress) | IP address to allocate to the L-Server | The IP address can be specified using the following methods:
Even if the IpAddress element is omitted, an IP address is automatically assigned from the address range set for the network resource. |

For details on the definition information for physical L-Servers (XML), refer to the following manual.

Information
For environments where multiple NICs are connected
When an L-Server in which multiple NICs are defined is quarantined, enter as many lines enclosed by the NIC elements as the defined NICs to set each NIC so all the NICs will be connected to the quarantine network.
Specifying the same network for each NIC will cause no problems.
When modifying the default value of the storage directory of the XML files
To modify the default value of the storage directory of the XML files, create the definition file.
For details on the definition file, refer to "A.5 Definition File of the Storage Directory of the XML Files for Changing the Network".
