Chapter 16 Creating L-Servers
This chapter explains how to create L-Servers.
For an overview of the functions, refer to "2.2.3 L-Server" in the "Design Guide CE".
L-Servers can be created using the following two methods:
-Creation Using an L-Server Template
Resources are automatically selected from a resource pool.
-Creation Without Using an L-Server Template
Specify a resource or a resource pool.
For details on how to specify and select the VM host to which the created L-Server is to be deployed, refer to "2.2.3 L-Server" in the
"Design Guide CE".
Creation Using an L-Server Template
Use the following procedure to create an L-Server using an L-Server template:
-When cloning images are not stored in image pools, or when not using cloning images which have been already registered
1. Select an L-Server template. Specify [None] for images.
For details, refer to "16.1 Creation Using an L-Server Template".
2. Install an OS manually.
As an L-Server with no OS installed is created, install an OS manually.
For details, refer to "Chapter 15 Collecting and Registering Cloning Images" in the "Setup Guide CE".
-When cloning images are stored in image pools
1. Select an L-Server template. Specify a cloning image to deploy.
An L-Server on which a cloning image has been deployed is created.
For details, refer to "16.1 Creation Using an L-Server Template".
Creation Without Using an L-Server Template
For details on how to create specifying individual specifications without using an L-Server template, refer to "16.2 Creation of Physical
L-Servers Using Parameters" or "16.3 Creation of Virtual L-Servers Using Parameters".
Note
[Linux]
When using Linux for a physical L-Server, and iSCSI storage for a system disk, an L-Server cannot be created using a cloning image.
[Xen]
When using RHEL5-Xen, L-Server creation and operation using the ROR console cannot be performed. For details, refer to "C.4 RHEL5-
Xen" in the "Setup Guide CE".
[Solaris]
When using Solaris, physical L-Servers cannot be created.
In this case, link L-Servers with configured physical servers.
For details, refer to "Chapter 18 Linking L-Servers with Configured Physical Servers or Virtual Machines".
