Table 6 Cross-technology logical server operations (continued)

Notes

Operations

NOTE:

File storage pool entries are not supported when configuring Integrity VM

logical servers in a cross-technology logical server portability group (for example, a
portability group that includes both Integrity VM and a VC Domain Group).

Only File or SAN-based storage can be added to an Integrity VM logical server.

The logical server has to be deactivated to modify the resources. Below is a list of logical
server resources that can or cannot be edited.

Import of Integrity VM guests with SAN-based or NPIV-based storage requires that a
valid primary boot entry be configured in the VM guest.

Import

Integrity VM will only allow cross-technology logical server move operations on VMs that
are configured with SAN-based storage when the VM Host is in an Integrity VM and VC
Portability Group.

Move

Power on and power off

Storage pool entries (SPEs) can be added to logical servers in all Integrity VM or Integrity
VM and VC Portability Groups.

Storage pool creation

Pre-allocated SPEs can now also be inserted into new Integrity VM logical servers.

Storage pool insertion

In order to move cross-technology logical servers, you must create a Portability Group
that contains both Integrity VM and servers with Virtual Connect.

Online moves with NPIV are only supported between servers in the same processor
family. Specifically, the following Online move configurations are supported:

Integrity VM and VC
Portability Group Creation

Online migration between Montecito-based and Montvale-based servers. This includes
moves between BL8x0c blades.

Online migration between Tukwila based servers. This includes moves between BL8x0c
i2 blades.

Configuration values that are not portable when moving Integrity or Integrity
VM servers

When moving supported Integrity blades or Integrity VMs using the cross-technology logical server
feature, the following configuration values will not be moved along with the source system. Values
include:

Memory interleave settings

Processor socket breakdown information

Configuration values that are not portable when moving Integrity or Integrity VM servers
