Chapter 18 Linking L-Servers with Configured Physical
Servers or Virtual Machines
This chapter explains how to link a configured physical server to a physical L-Server and how to link a configured virtual machine to a
virtual L-Server.
Information
It is possible to import L-Servers into the L-Platform management function.
For details, refer to "7.2.3 Import to L-Platforms" in the "Operation Guide CE".
18.1 Management Scope
The management scope varies depending on the resources used by the configured physical server or virtual machine.
After linking with L-Servers, resources such as servers, virtual machines, or disks can be operated using the L-Servers.
Depending on the resources which can be operated, L-Servers are referred to differently as follows:
-
L-Server for Server Operation
Refers to L-Servers that operate only servers.
-
For Physical Servers
This applies when using the hardware listed in "
-
For Virtual Machines
This applies when using a physical server and when using server virtualization software.

-
The server virtualization software described in "
18.3.4 When Using Server Virtualization Software
-
L-Server for Server/Storage Operation
Refers to L-Servers that operate servers and disks.
-
For Physical Servers
This applies when using the hardware listed in "
-
For Virtual Machines
This applies when using a physical server and when using server virtualization software.

18.3.4 When Using Server Virtualization Software
[Solaris Zones]
L-Servers linked with a virtual machine on a VM host not managed with server management software only support "L-Server for
Server Operation".
[OVM for SPARC]
OVM for SPARC L-Servers only support "L-Server for Server Operation".
Note
When linking a configured physical server to a physical L-Server, only "L-Server for Server Operation" is supported. "L-Server for Servers/
Storage Operation" cannot be created.
When disk and NIC information is successfully obtained from the configured physical server or virtual machine, that information is
displayed. The output information for NICs differs depending on the L-Server type.
