Virtual Bays; Dell Server Blades - Symantec ALTIRIS DEPLOYMENT SOLUTION 6.9 SP4 - V1.0 Manual

Deployment Solution
For HP blade servers in the physical view the Rack name can be a custom name in the
console, with all subordinate Enclosures and Bays also identified. Example:
<rackName>
<enclosureName>
<bayNumber>
See also Server Management Features
page 247.

Virtual Bays

Blade servers now have a Virtual Bay feature that allows you to pre-assign deployment
jobs to the rack, the enclosure, or to a specific server blade in the bay. Any blade server
can have predefined deployment jobs and configuration tasks associated with it to
execute automatically upon installation. The Virtual Rack/Enclosure/Bay icons will
change from virtual icons to managed server icons in the Deployment console as live
blade servers are inserted and identified by Deployment Solution.
Rack name. Enter or edit the name of the Rack.
Enclosure name. Enter or edit the name of the Enclosure.
Enclosure type. Select the type of HP server blade from the list.
Initial Job. Select an existing job to run when the virtual computer is associated with a
new server blade.
Server Change rule. Select the
server blade is installed.
Note
If you create Virtual Bays for an enclosure (such as the BLe-class with 20 bays) and if
another model of server blade with an enclosure containing fewer bays is connected
(such as the BLp-class with 8 bays), the excess virtual bays will be truncated
automatically. Conversely, if you create Virtual Bays with fewer bays (8) and install an
enclosure with additional bays (20), you will need to recreate the virtual bays in the
enclosure (right-click the enclosure name in the physical view and click New Virtual
Bays).
