You can globally define a storage tag and associate it with storage pool entries by pressing
Manage Tags on the Manage Storage Pools screen. This allows you to group storage pool entries
together, which becomes more important as the number of pool entries increases.
Virtual Connect logical servers are supported using shared (SAN) storage only. Virtual machine
logical servers are supported using file storage.
See “Defining storage for logical servers” (page 61) for more information.
Manage portability groups
The Modify
→Logical Server Portability Groups... menu selection allows you to select systems
from the Virtualization Manager Physical and Virtual perspective that you want to include in
a user-defined portability group. A portability group defines the move and portability constraints
of a logical server.
Default portability groups are:
• Each Virtual Connect domain group
• All ESX hypervisors
• All Hyper-V hypervisors
• All Integrity VM hypervisors
NOTE: Default portability groups cannot be modified.
(Optional) User-defined portability groups are:
• A single Virtual Connect domain group
• A set of ESX hypervisors
• A set of Hyper-V hypervisors
NOTE: In this release, you cannot create a user-defined portability group containing HP Integrity
virtual machine hypervisors. If you import an Integrity VM, the imported logical server is placed
into the default “All Integrity VM hypervisors” portability group.
You may want to create a user-defined portability group to limit the number of servers or
hypervisors contained in a portability group. For example, if the default “All ESX hypervisors”
portability group contains a large number of virtual machines, you can create a portability group
that contains a smaller number of ESX virtual machines within which logical servers can move.
This may have the additional benefit of reducing the number of rejected targets when you move
the logical server.
You select a portability group for a logical server using the Create
→Logical Server… menu
selection. The first screen, Create Logical Server Identity, displays a drop-down menu containing
all default and user-defined portability groups in the enclosure, with the exception of the default
“All Integrity VM hypervisors” group.
To create a user-defined portability group using the Modify
→Logical Server Portability
Groups… menu selection:
• Select Virtual Connect domain groups or hypervisors to include in the portability group
from the Virtualization Manager Physical and Virtual perspective. If you do not make any
selections, all resources are presented as potential group members.
• The name that you select for your user-defined portability group is included in the drop-down
menu of available portability groups on the Create Logical Server Identity screen.
• The appropriate group types are checked automatically after you select the systems in the
Selectable Targets table that you want to move to the portability group, and you press the
Add Selection button.
