Assign Logical Servers to Target Hosts screen. If you select Tools
→Logical Servers→Refresh..., then
Tools
→Logical Servers→Activate..., the new VM Host will be an available target on which you
can activate the logical server.
The Tools
→Logical Servers→Refresh... menu selection also allows you to reassociate all Virtual
Connect logical servers from an old domain group to a new domain group.
There are several check boxes in the Refresh Logical Servers screen. Use the following combinations
to refresh resources.

Reassociating logical servers is necessary after using VCEM in the following scenarios:
•
You deleted and recreated a VC Domain Group using the same name.
•
You have moved VC Domains with upgraded firmware to a new VC Domain Group to allow
enhanced capability
•
You get an error from Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager that recommends moving a VC
Domain to a new VC Domain Group.
View logical server details
The Report
→View Logical Server Details... menu selection, or clicking the logical server icon
or
the non-movable (static) logical server icon in the HP Matrix OE visualization: Visualization tab,
displays the logical server definition in read only mode in a tabular view. It also displays additional
attributes of the logical server, including the logical server state and type, and whether the logical
server is inoperable.
View logical server job status
The Report
→View Logical Server Job Status... menu selection shows the status and messages, if
any, of a logical server job (or operation). Multiple jobs can be in progress at any one time. Up
to 500 of the most recent jobs are displayed.
A status job is not shown if you cancel the create logical server operation, or if the create logical
server operation fails before you are asked to Save or Cancel the operation.
Creating a Virtual Connect logical server results in two status jobs: one for creating the logical
server, and one for creating the Virtual Connect profile (started when server world wide names
are allocated when you enter port information on the storage configuration screen).
NOTE: After a logical server operation is started, you can view its status on the Report
→View
Logical Server Job Status... screen, but you cannot cancel it. Running jobs do not time out. If a job
seems to be running for a long period of time (more than two hours), the job may have completed
but some issues may have been encountered with the underlying software. The job will continue
to run and the logical server will be locked. The lock is released on the next restart of the Logical
Server Automation service.
