Changing Physical Server Usage; Configuring L-Servers For Usage Change; When Only The Configuration Definition (Defined) Is Created - Fujitsu ServerView Resource Orchestrator Cloud Edition V3.1.0 User Manual

Note
When modifying the configuration definition for an already defined L-Server that has been updated from an earlier version, alive monitoring
is disabled. When enabling alive monitoring, modify the configuration of the L-Server again.

17.9 Changing Physical Server Usage

This section explains how to change physical server usage.
Changing server usage is the function for preparing more L-Servers than physical servers and is used by switching the startup L-Server.
This function enables effective use of server resources as the physical server can be changed depending on the period and situation.
The boot disk and IP address of the L-Server are stored, even while other L-Servers use the physical server.
This function can be used, when an L-Server is actually a physical server. When using virtual machines, multiple L-Servers can be located
on a single VM host without any specific configuration, giving the same effects as changing the physical server.
The following two methods are available:
-
Use multiple L-Servers, switching between them, on a single physical server
The physical server which starts the L-Server is always the same.
-
Use multiple L-Servers, switching between them, on unused physical servers in a server pool
The physical server allocated to the L-Server will change depending on the available spare servers in a server pool.
