HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.2 Logical Server Management User Guide

from the newly created logical server. (The storage pool entries' maximum share count will
be incremented if needed.)
Delete and unmanage
The Delete→Delete Logical Server... menu selection allows you to delete an inactive logical server.
Deleting a logical server removes the logical server definition from the management database,
removes the physical server profile or virtual machine from the compute environment, and removes
connectivity to storage and network devices.
The Delete→Unmanage Logical Server... menu selection allows you to unmanage an active or
inactive logical server. Unmanaging a logical server removes the logical server definition from the
management database. The physical server or virtual machine is not modified or deleted; if it is
running, it will continue to run.
After unmanaging a logical server with a shared storage pool entry, the logical server may be
automatically re-imported in a subsequent refresh unless the associated storage pool entry is deleted.
Immediately after unmanaging a logical server, delete its associated storage pool entry, or modify
the storage pool entry to remove the unmanaged logical server’s WWNs. (If the storage pool entry
is defined as part of the logical server and is not shared, the storage pool entry is automatically
deleted when the logical server is unmanaged.)
NOTE: If you unmanage a cross-technology logical server that was active on both a server with
Virtual Connect and a VM Host at different points in time, be sure to remove the corresponding
Virtual Connect profile or VM Guest configuration files that will no longer be used.
Import
The Tools→Logical Servers→Import... menu selection imports the definition for an existing physical
server or virtual machine and creates an active logical server with that definition.
Importing a logical server allows you to manage the resource or system using the logical servers
interface in Matrix OE visualization. If you decide you no longer want to manage a particular
resource or system, you can unmanage the logical server.
• You can import an ESX, Hyper-V, or HP Integrity virtual machine guest, or a server with Virtual
Connect. The system that you are importing can be powered on or powered off.
• You can select the portability group into which the imported logical server is created.
The list of choices is based on what is being imported. For example, if a server with Virtual
Connect is being imported, then only portability groups that contain that VC Domain Group
are displayed as valid choices (this display includes the default portability group, as well as
any user-defined portability groups).
If an ESX VM is being imported, then only portability groups with ESX members are displayed.
NOTE: If a pre-existing SPE if found to be a match to the server with Virtual Connect during
import, then the portability group that the SPE is in dictates the portability group for the imported
logical server. The portability group menu is disabled.
• The resulting logical server is automatically activated, but maintains the powered on or off
state that existed before it was imported.
• The virtual machine guest or server with Virtual Connect does not need to be provisioned with
an operating system before it is imported.
• Import operations are supported for Integrity VMs that contain physical (whole) disks on a FC
SAN, or virtual disks in an SLVM volume group.
