• Storage You can activate a Virtual Connect blade logical server only if you specified shared
(SAN) storage as your storage configuration when you created the logical server.
Logical server management requires that the operating system boots only from SAN, and
does not support any operating system that boots from a non-SAN disk.
A virtual machine host that is running on a server with Virtual Connect with a SAN boot
disk can be managed as a Virtual Connect logical server.
Logical server management leverages Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager and Virtual Connect
Manager to provide Virtual Connect based functionality. HP recommends that you are familiar
with these technologies. See http://www.hp.com/go/vcem and http://www.hp.com/go/
bladesystem/virtualconnect for more information.
