FUJITSU ServerView Respurce Orchestrator Virtual Edition V3.1.0 - Manual (Page 235)

Appendix C Maintenance Mode
This appendix explains the maintenance mode available in Resource Orchestrator and how to use it.
Maintenance mode is used during hardware maintenance of managed servers. It is also used during the installation and maintenance of
physical OSs and VM hosts. Maintenance mode avoids unwanted error notifications and disables execution of Auto-Recovery upon server
failure.
The following operations can be performed on a server that has been placed into maintenance mode:
- Maintenance LED
Maintenance LEDs can be controlled.
- Backup and restore
System images can be backed up and restored.
- Cloning
Cloning images can be collected and deployed.
Use the following procedures to set and release maintenance mode:
- Setting Maintenance Mode
In the ROR console server resource tree, right-click the target server (or its physical OS or VM host) and select [Maintenance Mode]-
[Set] from the popup menu.
- Releasing Maintenance Mode
In the ROR console server resource tree, right-click the target server (or its physical OS or VM host) and select [Maintenance Mode]-
[Release] from the popup menu.
Note
- When using ServerView Deployment Manager, depending on the operation, servers may be rebooted or temporarily shut down. This
also affects servers managed using Resource Orchestrator.
It is recommended to place affected servers into maintenance mode before running operations from ServerView Deployment Manager.
Then, the maintenance mode should be released once finished.
- L-Servers cannot be created for physical servers that are in maintenance mode.
