HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 and 7.3 Update 1 Logical Server Management User Guide

Logical server architecture Architecture type of the system on which you are
creating the logical server. Can be HP ProLiant or HP
Integrity.
Virtual machine type Integrity vPar (Dedicated) or Integrity VM (Shared)
Operating system Operating system on the system on which you are
creating the logical server.
For a Virtual Connect logical server, the operating
system you specify is used by VCEM to set the host
mode in the storage array for proper presentation to
the logical server. You can specify Microsoft Windows,
Linux, or VMware 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 the hypervisor host 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 the
ESX VM Host will use the highest VM version supported
by that host. Once the logical server has been created,
it can only be moved or re-activated on VM Hosts which
support that version. Explicitly selecting a lower version
(vs. default) will force the logical server to use that
version (and thus perhaps a wider range of VM Hosts).
Enable high availability (check box) This check box 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
