3. Configure the logical server for activation on both physical and VM host targets
Modify the logical server configuration as follows:
• In the Create logical server: identity screen, set the portability group of the logical server
to the portability group created in Step 2 above.
• In the Create logical server: storage screen, select a VM data store (this data store will
be used to store VM configuration information).
For more information, see the Defining Cross-Technology logical servers section in: “Configuring
and managing cross-technology logical servers” (page 33)
Present the boot/data storage to the VM hosts in the portability group using the same LUN
and WWN values. For more information, see the Storage Definition section in: “Configuring
and managing cross-technology logical servers” (page 33)
4. Perform physical to virtual and virtual to physical movements to verify OS configuration
Move the logical server from physical to virtual and back again. After each move, ensure that
the logical server has booted successfully and the static network configurations have been
applied as expected to the network interfaces present in the new environment. For more
information, see the Moving between technologies section in: “Configuring and managing
cross-technology logical servers” (page 33)
NOTE: When the logical server is first moved to a virtual machine, the user may wish to
add additional tools to the server, for example, VMware tools. In the HP Matrix Operating
Environment, the VM configuration created does not include a virtual CD/DVD drive. You can
use the VM management console to modify the VM configuration to include a virtual CD/DVD
drive.
5. Configure inter-site movement between physical and virtual targets (disaster recovery use case)
In this step, Matrix recovery management capabilities are used to set up inter-site movement
between physical and virtual targets.
a. At the Local Site, create an array replication group containing the Logical Unit(s) used
by the logical server for boot/data and the Logical Unit containing the VM data store
(this data store should be used exclusively to store the VM configuration of the logical
server in this case).
