16.2 Creation of Physical L-Servers Using Parameters
This section explains how to configure a physical L-Server with server, storage, and network specifications configured, without using an
L-Server template.
Specify the values on the following tabs:
-
[General] Tab
-
[Server] Tab
-
[Disk] Tab
-
[Network] Tab
-
[OS] Tab
Use the following procedure to create L-Servers:
1.
Right-click the target resource folder in the orchestration tree, and select [Create]-[L-Server] from the popup menu.
The [Create an L-Server] dialog is displayed.
2.
On each tab, set the following items.
3.
Click <OK>.
The L-Server is created.
Note
Each item to set has an upper limit. Even when valid values are specified, the creation of an L-Server may fail depending on the availability
of resources in resource pools and the hardware configuration.
L-Servers cannot be created for physical servers that are in maintenance mode.
Information
-
For the storage units that support the setting of LUN alias names, when disk resources are created with Resource Orchestrator, set the
alias (if possible) based on the disk resource name in the LUN.
-
If identical alias names are set for the ETERNUS LUNs, the initial settings for aliases in ETERNUS LUNs are used instead.
The format for the alias name set for the disk resource names and Resource Orchestrator is as follows.
Disk resource names Format
name
-
x
-disk
y
name
: L-Server name specified by user
x
: String in decimal format, uniquely allocated by the manager
y
: Decimal representing the disk index
Alias name Format
NAMEXXYYYY
(maximum 16 characters)
NAME
: String starting at the beginning of
name
(maximum 11 characters)
XX
: Two digit decimal string corresponding to
x
YYYY
: Three digit decimal string corresponding to
y
-
As the L-Server names that can be reflected in alias are a maximum of 11 characters, the infrastructure administrator should
consult with the tenant administrator and determine rules for L-Server names.
-
If the L-Server name is changed, the disk resource name and aliases in the details about the disk are not changed.
