Storage pool management

Moves a logical server that is assigned to a physical server
with Virtual Connect to an Integrity VM guest on a VM Host

Seamless moves between physical servers and virtual
servers

and also moves a logical server activated on a VM Host
as an Integrity VM guest to a physical server with Virtual
Connect. The following components are supported:

Physical servers—All Integrity blades using Virtual
Connect

VM Hosts—All Integrity servers (racks and blades).

NOTE:

The logical server must be created in a

user-defined Integrity VM and Virtual Connect Portability

another physical blade that may not be of the same model

Physical to unlike physical moves

or have the same mezzanine card types. This move will
not require any user intervention to reconfigure any OS
related network or storage configuration information. In
addition, all of the EFI variables (including boot information)
are automatically moved and properly reconfigured on the
target blade. The following list describes supported moves:

BL8x0c to BL8x0c i2

BL8x0c i2 to BL8x0c

BL8x0c to BL8x0c
