This section explains the procedure for registering business network resources using the GUI (ROR console).
Perform the following procedure:
The [Create a network resource] dialog is displayed.
Enter a name for the network resource.
If a type other than [Admin LAN] is selected
Enter up to 32 characters beginning with an alphanumeric character (upper or lower case), and including alphanumeric characters (upper or lower case), underscores ("_"), periods ("."), or hyphens ("-").
Set the network resources type to create using the following option button.
Public LAN
When creating the public LAN, a network resource name and a VLAN ID must be entered.
Configure as follows.
Use configured virtual switches
Select this checkbox to use a virtual switch that was set up beforehand.
Perform the settings for VLAN IDs and uplink ports.
Specify the VLAN ID to allocate to the LAN switch blade and virtual switch. Select a VLAN ID allocated to the uplink port of the LAN switch blade, or enter a number. Specify a pre-designed VLAN ID.
Enter an integer between "1" and "4094".
For internal networks or external networks with rack mount servers only
Enter a VLAN ID.
Specifying VLAN IDs and clicking [Setting] displays the [Define VLAN ID/Uplink port settings] dialog.
Do not specify for internal networks or external networks with rack mount servers only.
Enter this item to automatically set a network and IP address for the NIC connected to the network resource when deploying an image on an L-Server.
IP addresses included in subnet addresses are allocated to L-Servers, but it is possible to specify a range of addresses to exclude. Clicking the [Add] button will display the [Define start and end IP addresses] dialog, specify the range of IP addresses to exclude, and click the [Add] button. To reactivate excluded IP addresses, check the appropriate checkboxes on the list, and click the [Delete] button. Clicking the [OK] button displays the original dialog with the entered settings.
Network addresses and broadcast addresses are automatically excluded.
Information
If a subnet address has been set for the network resource, the IP address can be automatically set when deploying an image to an L-Server.
Enter the subnet address and subnet mask to set using the "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" format.
The maximum value for a subnet mask is 255.255.255.255 (32-bit mask) and the minimum value is 255.255.0.0 (16-bit mask). However, 255.255.255.254 cannot be specified.
Note
Specifying the same subnet between network resources for an admin LAN is not possible.
For details, refer to the following.
"Chapter 7 Defining and Configuring the Network Environment" in the "Design Guide VE"
"Chapter 9 Defining and Configuring the Network Environment" in the "Design Guide CE"
This setting can be omitted if something other than [Admin LAN] is selected.
Enter the IP address for the default gateway to use when communicating externally of the subnet.
IP addresses that you do not want to automatically allocate to an L-Server (because they are being used or are planned to be used for other devices) can be specified.
Information
The IP addresses that are being used by configured physical servers, virtual PCs, and other devices must be specified for this item to prevent them from being used for L-Servers.
Note
Of the IP addresses specified for the Subnet address/mask, the following addresses are automatically excluded from the target of allocation. They cannot be specified for Exclusion IP range.
- Admin server
- Network address and broadcast address
When using SBC servers, select a ruleset to use from the rulesets available for network resources.
Register the ruleset to use in the common folder on the network device for the network resource. For the folders to register the rulesets for network resources in, refer to "D.3.1 Folders for Network Resources".
A custom label can be defined for the network resource. User-defined labels make it easier to identify the resource.
Enter a string of up to 32 alphanumeric characters (Both double-byte and single-byte characters can be used).
A custom comment can be defined for the network resource. For example, registering detailed work content, troubleshooting, and recovery procedures can speed up recovery.
Enter a string of up to 256 alphanumeric characters (Both double-byte and single-byte characters can be used).
The network resource is created and registered in a network pool.
In the [Resource List] tab, confirm that the operation network resource has been registered in the target network pool.
