For the various types of information comprising an L-Platform template, the following information can be newly created:
Template information
Segment information
Image information
Software information
Follow the procedure below to newly create the above information:
On the [L-Platform Template] window, select the tab (Template, Segment, Image, or Software) of the information to be newly created.
Click the [Create] button.
Set information in the new creation window.
Refer to "8.4 Items to Set for Each Type of L-Platform Template Information" for information on the information to be set.
Click the [Create] button.
A message indicating that the template has been created is displayed and the template is created.
Note that information must be created in the following sequence if all types of information comprising an L-Platform template are being newly created:
Software information
Image information
Segment information
Template information
Note that segment information can also be created before the software information.
Point
In case of L-Platform templates, a server NIC is only located if it is allocated. When defining multiple NICs, click the target server, and then click the [Add NIC] button to add the required number of NICs.
The number of server NICs that can be allocated is the maximum number allowed for image information.
Information
Commands can also be used to create new L-Platform templates.
Refer to "Appendix A Using Commands to Register and Delete L-Platform Templates" for details.
Note
When enabling [Function number expansion (Onboard)], add the same number of NICs as the functions using the L-Platform template.
For example, when selecting "2" for [Number of functions per board] in the physical server environment on which only the on-board CNA is mounted, it is necessary to configure four NICs in total for four functions (two ports * two functions).
