17.2.1 Modifying Specifications
This section explains how to modify L-Server specifications. Use the following procedure to modify L-Server specifications:
[Solaris Zones]
Calculate the cap value to configure for the non-global zone from the number of CPUs and the CPU performance.
For details, refer to "C.7.6 Creating an L-Server" in the "Setup Guide CE".
The specifications of an L-Server linked with a virtual machine on a VM host not managed with server management software cannot be
modified from the ROR console. Modify them from the global zone.
[OVM for SPARC]
L-Server specifications cannot be modified from the ROR console. Modify them from the control domain.
The Procedure when Using the GUI
1.
Right-click the target L-Server in the orchestration tree, and select [Change Settings]-[Modify Specification] from the popup menu.
The [Modify an L-Server] dialog is displayed.
2.
Change the values.
The current values for each item are displayed in the [Modify an L-Server] dialog. Items that have been changed are indicated with
an asterisk ("*") in front of the item.
3.
Click <OK>.
When making changes while the power of the virtual L-Server is on, only the configuration of the virtual L-Server can be changed.
4.
When changes were made while a virtual L-Server was powered on, follow the procedures for the OS's running on the virtual L-
Server to have the changes recognized by the OS's.
The Procedure From the Command Line
1.
Execute rcxadm lserver modify or rcxadm lserver set.
For details on the rcxadm lserver modify command and the rcxadm lserver set command, refer to "3.6 rcxadm lserver" in the
"Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
When making changes while the power of the virtual L-Server is on, only the configuration of the virtual L-Server can be changed.
2.
When changes were made while a virtual L-Server was powered on, follow the procedures for the OS's running on the virtual L-
Server to have the changes recognized by the OS's.
Changeable Items
The items for which specifications can be changed differ depending on whether the L-Server is physical or virtual.
-
Changing Physical L-Server Specifications
The following items can be changed when the power status of the physical L-Server is OFF.
-
FC path
-
Boot Mode
-
CPU Performance (*)
-
Number of CPUs (*)
-
Memory Size (*)
* Note: Can be specified when using blade servers. When you start the L-Server after setting "Resource release" (for allocating and
releasing resources to and from L-Servers) and adjusting CPU and memory settings, a physical server will be selected according to
the modified conditions.
