file. For details on VM specific information definition files, refer to "C.1 Definition Files Commonly Shared when Creating Virtual
L-Servers" and "Chapter 8 Creating Definition Files" in the "Setup Guide CE".
[KVM]
The maximum size of available memory can be specified.
[OVM for x86]
The size of resources of hardware where VM hosts operate can be specified.
[Solaris Zones]
The size of resources of hardware where VM hosts operate can be specified.
Operating System Type
Specify the type of operating system to allocate to the L-Server. It is not necessary to specify this when deploying an image, because
the VM type of the image is used. The OS type can be changed after the OS installation.
[Hyper-V]
If an unsupported OS type is specified, installation may fail or the OS of the VM guest may not operate correctly.
Additionally, if an incorrect OS type is specified, there is a chance that image collection or L-Server creation for a specified image
may fail, and a guest OS may start but hang while awaiting entry. This occurs because Microsoft's Sysprep cannot be processed correctly
during personalization processing.
The OS types displayed in the list are the guest OSs which can be specified on the SCVMM management console.
Resource Orchestrator displays all guest OSs in the list in order not to limit user selection, however this does not mean that all guest
OSs are supported by SCVMM.
Hyper-V does not support some server type settings such as number of CPUs depending on the OS type. When an incorrect OS type
and server type are selected, operation is not guaranteed.
Additionally, even when a service pack is not listed in the OS type list, it may be necessary to install the service pack.
When a guest OS that Hyper-V supports is specified for the OS type, a converged network adapter will be added to VM.
When a different OS has been selected, an emulated network adapter will be added.
For details on the guest OSs supported by SCVMM, refer to the Help of SCVMM.
For details on the guest OSs supported by Hyper-V, refer to the following Microsoft web site.

[KVM]
Linux, Windows, Linux (SELinux), and Other can be selected. "Other" is used when an OS other than Linux, Windows,
Linux(SELinux) is selected.
Automatic configuration of guest OS can only be selected for Linux or Windows.
When an OS for which automatic configuration is not possible is selected for the guest OS, the items listed in "C.6.8 [OS] Tab
Configuration" in the "Setup Guide CE" and network resources such as the IP address are not configured. Perform configuration
manually if necessary.
When creating a new guest VM, the information will be displayed. When information of a newly created VM guest is lost during
backup and restoration, "unknown" may be displayed.
[OVM for x86]
The OS type cannot be changed.
[Solaris Zones]
The OS type cannot be changed.
VM host (Optional)
Individually specify the resources to allocate to the L-Server.
Clicking <Select> displays the [Select a VM host] dialog.
Specify a VM host or VM pool. If you do not specify a VM host or VM pool, a VM host that can create an L-Server is automatically
searched for from the VM pool. If there are multiple VM pools, the VM host is searched for, beginning with the VM pool with the
highest priority.
