Servers with virtual connect target hosts – HP Matrix Operating Environment Software User Manual

If you configure your logical server to use a local disk, you cannot move that logical server.
Additionally, after you activate the logical server, you cannot reactivate it on a different system.

You can initiate multiple move operations at the same time, but Virtual Connect Enterprise
Manager queues the move operations and performs them serially.

NOTE:

Although Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager can move a logical server from a source

to a target blade with different model numbers if the blades are in the same VC Domain Group,
having the same model number and mezzanine card makes it possible for the operating system
and applications that ran on the source blade to run on the target blade.

Servers with Virtual Connect target hosts

Target servers with Virtual Connect on which a logical server can be moved are shown in the
Target Hosts table. Select one target blade in the Target Hosts table by clicking the radio button
to the left of the target. Hover your mouse over the error symbols for more information.

Target hosts with the best fit are sorted to the top of the Target Hosts table.

Target hosts with an acceptable fit are shown with error symbols in the table columns. You
can override the filter criteria and select a target host with error symbols in the Target Hosts
table.

A yellow triangle in the Headroom column denotes an error returning Capacity Advisor data.

You cannot select a target host from the Rejected Target Hosts table. The red circle symbol in
the Failed column contains the reason for rejection. Other errors are denoted by error symbols.
