Registering Network Resources

This section explains the procedure for registering network resources.

Network resources are registered as operation and quarantine networks.

Point

For SBC Servers

When registering an SBC server, it is necessary to create the following three network resources:
- Management Network (The network resource of the admin LAN directly connected to the manager)
- Business Network
- Quarantine Network
For both the business network and the quarantine network, select [public LAN] for the type. For the management network, select [admin LAN] for the type.
A management network resource with the name "AdminLan", and the VLAN ID "1" is automatically created during installation of Resource Orchestrator.
After deleting "AdminLan", create network resources following "2.10.4.2 Registering Management Network Resources Using the GUI (ROR Console)".

Point

For Virtual PCs

When registering a virtual PC, it is necessary to create network resources for the business network and the quarantine network.
For both the business network and the quarantine network, select [public LAN] for the type.
For the network resource names of the business network, specify the resource names of the business network specified in "2.5.6 Definition File for Configuring the Business and Quarantine Networks".
For the network resource names of the quarantine network, specify the resource names of the quarantine network specified in "2.5.6 Definition File for Configuring the Business and Quarantine Networks".

Prerequisites (SBC Servers)

It is necessary to register rulesets (scripts) for the L2 switches corresponding to network resources in folders of Resource Orchestrator.

For details on the ruleset (script), refer to "Appendix D Preparations for Automatic Configuration and Operation of Network Devices".

Prerequisites (Virtual PCs)

The prerequisites for registering network resources are as follows.

For the prerequisites for loading an IP address assigned to a virtual PC to an L-Server, refer to the prerequisites of "2.12 Linking Virtual L-Servers with Configured Virtual PCs".

The network resources satisfy all of the following conditions:
- The network resources are registered in resource pools that users can access
- The IP address assigned to the virtual machine is within the range of IP addresses configured for the network resources
- The VLAN ID of the virtual machine matches that of the L-Server
- There are not multiple network resources registered with different VLAN IDs and the same subnet address
- In environments in which the VLAN ID cannot be obtained from the virtual machine, there is only a single network resource that is included in the range of the IP addresses assigned to the virtual PC registered in an accessible resource pool
  
  In the above situation, ensure that there are not multiple network resources configured with overlapping IP address ranges.
The network information of the VM hosts is up to date

Perform the following for each VM host.
[For VMware vSphere 6.0]

To update the network information, perform the following procedure using the virtualization software (vSphere Web Client).
1. From the Inventory, move to [Hosts and Clusters].
2. Select the VM host to update the information for.
3. Click the [Configuration] tab.
4. Under [Hardware], click [Networking].
5. Click [Refresh], and then wait for the updating of network information to complete.
[VMware vSphere 6.5 or later]

To update the network information, perform the following procedure using vSphere Web Client:
1. From the Inventory, move to [Hosts and Clusters].
2. Select the VM host to update the information for.
3. Click the [Configure] tab.
4. Click [Networking]-[Virtual switches].
5. Click the [Refresh the host's network system] icon, and then wait for the update of network information to complete.
[For Hyper-V]
To update the network information, perform the following procedure using the virtualization software (VMM console):

Open the [VMs and Services] work space.

From [All Hosts], select the VM host to update the information of.

Select [Refresh] from the pop-up menu.

Wait for the "Refresh host cluster" job to complete.

In [VMs], select all virtual machines and then right-click.

Select [Refresh] from the pop-up menu.

Wait for the "Refresh virtual machine" job to complete.
The most recent information of the VM management software is reflected on the configuration definition information of Resource Orchestrator
Execute the following command on the admin server.

[Windows Manager]
```
> rcxadm vmmgr refresh 
```
