Operating Environment Software Instruction Manual

Resources in Virtual Connect Domain Groups
Physical resources are only displayed on the console Servers tab and made available after a Virtual
Connect Domain Group is created in VCEM.
If you have more than one Virtual Connect Domain Group in your environment, as a best practice,
make sure that all servers in a server group belong to the same VCDG.
VM Hosts deployed on server blades
A physical server blade appears as a compute resource in a resource pool. If a VM Host is deployed
on that server blade, the VM Host appears as a separate compute resource. Therefore, for managed
server blades that are also VM Hosts, there are two entries, once with the server serial number
and once with the host name.
Details for the server blade show “Deployed as VM Host <name> at <IP address>.”
Creating a pool
1. To create a new pool, click Create Pool on the Servers tab.
2. In New pool name, enter a descriptive name.
Select servers from any pool. Remember, during initial infrastructure orchestration configuration,
only the Unassigned pool displays resources.
IMPORTANT: To be assigned to an organization, a compute resource must be in the service
provider Unassigned pool, and cannot be in use.
