Loading the IP Addresses of the Business Network Assigned to Physical Servers

When a physical server is linked with a physical L-Server, only the IP address of the management network is loaded.

This section explains how to load the IP address of the business network assigned to a physical server.

Procedure

Create the XML file necessary for specifying the network resources and IP addresses corresponding to the NICs for the physical L-Server.

Execute the following command to output the base XML file for changing the network.
```
> rcxadm lserver show -name Physical_L-Server_name -format xml 
```

Delete any unnecessary information from the output XML file and edit the content as shown below. However, do not delete the information specified in the NIC elements for the management network.

The Resources, LServer, and NICs elements must be included.

Depending on the details of the business network of the physical server, add the values for "name" in the NetworkLink element and "address" in the IpAddress element.

For details on the XML file, refer to "Table A.2 Excerpt from Definition Information for Physical L-Servers (XML)".

<?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 NICs connected to the business network 
    </NICs> 
  </LServer> 
</Resources>

Execute the following command using the XML file that was created in step 1 to specify the network resources and IP addresses corresponding to the NICs for the physical L-Server.
```
> rcxadm lserver modify -name Physical_L-Server_name -type physical -file file.xml [-nowait] 
```
Refer to "Confirmation of Results" and confirm that the changes you made in step 2 have been reflected.
