or Linux as the operating system for a Virtual Connect
logical server created on the ProLiant architecture,
and Microsoft Windows, Linux, HP-UX or HP
OpenVMS as the operating system for a Virtual
Connect logical server created on the HP Integrity
architecture.
For an ESX and Hyper-V virtual machine logical
server, the operating system is used by VMware to
create the correct virtual disk (storage) for the logical
server. You can specify Microsoft Windows or Linux
as the operating system for a virtual machine logical
server created on the ProLiant or x86 system
architecture.
Operating system variation Specific version of Microsoft Windows or Linux that
is the operating system for the VM guest. This
drop-down menu is enabled when you specify the
default ESX or Integrity VM portability group, or a
user-defined portability group containing an ESX or
Integrity VM Host.
Managed resource name Virtual machine name or Virtual Connect profile name
depending on the selected portability group.
If you do not enter a value, a managed resource name
is automatically generated.
ESX VM version Virtual machine hardware version of the ESX Host. If
you choose default, a logical server activated on an
ESX 3x VM Host creates a hardware version 4 VM
guest, and a logical server activated on an ESX 4x VM
Host creates a hardware version 7 VM guest.
If you choose Version 4, activating the logical server
always creates a version 4 VM guest, and ESX 3x and
4x VM Hosts are valid targets when you move or
re-activate the logical server.
If you choose Version 7, activating the logical server
always creates a version 7 VM guest, and only ESX 4x
VM Hosts are valid targets when you move or
reactivate the logical server.
Enable high availability (checkbox) This checkbox is enabled when a Hyper-V portability
group is selected.
If checked, enables high availability scenarios in
Hyper-V environments using failover clustering, and
may allow you to select the Quick Move operation
type on the Move: Assign Logical Servers to Target
Hosts screen.
• Compute Resources
Allows you to set the compute resources for a logical server, including number of CPU cores,
CPU frequency, and amount of memory
When you activate a logical server on a virtual machine, the compute resources on the target
host must be greater than or equal to the values you specify for number of cores and CPU
frequency. When you activate a logical server on a server with Virtual Connect, the compute
