Logical server requirements

The Logical Servers feature in Virtualization Manager supports the following software. If you
are using other versions of these products, intermittent failures, especially during moves, can
occur.

Requirements for virtual machine logical servers
— VMware ESX Server 3.5 Update 1 or higher, and vCenter 2.5 Update 4 or higher, with

vCenter Server credentials configured in HP SIM, or

— VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0, with vCenter Server credentials configured in HP SIM, or
— VMware ESXi 4 VMware vSphere Client, with vCenter Server credentials configured

in HP SIM, or

— Microsoft Windows Server Hyper-V R2, with minimum Hyper-V Manager Build 6.0,

or

— Microsoft Windows Server Hyper-V 2008, with minimum Hyper-V Manager Build

6.0.6001.18016, with updates listed in

Managing Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V

with HP Insight Dynamics

, or

— HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.1, with patches for HP-UX (VM Host) version 11i v3

0903 and higher, listed in HP Integrity Virtual Machines V4.1 Release Notes at

http://

docs.hp.com/en/vse.html#HP Integrity Virtual Machines

.

— VMware Tools

For ESX virtual machine logical servers, VMware Tools must be

installed on the guest operating system. Use the Inventory menu in the VMware Virtual
Infrastructure Client, then select Virtual Machine

Install/Upgrade VMware Tools.

— UUID

A virtual machine that is managed by logical server management must keep

its Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) when prompted by VMware. When you power
on a virtual machine on a hypervisor that was moved to a new location (for example,
from one blade to another), a VMware message appears, asking you if you want to
create a new UUID for the virtual machine, or keep the UUID that was generated for
the virtual machine when the logical server was activated. Select Always Keep, then
click OK to continue powering on the virtual machine. If you do not select Always Keep
or Keep, the moved logical server will not operate correctly.

— Storage

Logical server management supports ESX virtual machine logical server

storage using the Virtual Machine File System (VMFS), DAS, SAN, NFS, and iSCSI
datastores. Hyper-V virtual machine logical server storage is supported using Microsoft
Cluster Server (MSCS). Virtual machines that are created using raw device files are not
supported.

— Quick move requirement

To move a Hyper-V virtual machine logical server using the

Quick Move operation type, you must have checked Enable High Availability when
you created or modified the logical server before it was activated, the datastore must
be shared in the MS Cluster, and the virtual machine must be in a cluster node.
