Sc/Bsm Display After Migration With Windows Server 2008 R2 - Hitachi HVM Navigator V03-06 User Manual

SC/BSM Display after Migration with Windows Server 2008
R2
When a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 and using NIC teaming
migrates by means of Migration functions of HVM Navigator, SC/BSM display of
partitions and LPAR numbers after such migration may sometimes remain
unchanged. This event arises from the NIC activation delay during the server
boot caused by the teaming process.
To work around the event, log in to the server, select Server Manager in
Administrative Tools, select Services, and change the startup type of
"SM_AgtSvc" service to "Automatic (Delayed Start)."
N+M Failover during Migration
In an environment where N+M cold standby is configured, N+M failover may
take place at a failure on the destination server during the execution of
Migration functions of HVM Navigator. On such occasions, inconsistency of the
LPAR configuration information between the source and the destination could
result depending on the timing of failure. To resolve such inconsistency, the
source server must be restarted with the backup copy of configuration
information.
In particular, N+M failover test alert designed for the testing of N+M cold
standby has a risk of causing inconsistent configuration information because it
works without actual failures. For this reason, use of N+M failover test alert
must be prohibited during the execution of Migration functions of HVM
Navigator.
