Moving between blade types
For logical servers with target attributes, the logical server management software can identify more
possible targets when moving or activating a server. As with all cross-technology logical servers,
you must ensure that the logical server can function appropriately on various platforms. If a particular
target is proven to be unsuitable, it is easy to remove that type of target to more accurately describe
the logical server's portability.
Managing DR Protected cross-technology logical servers in a Matrix
recovery management configuration
This section explains how to specify failover target type preferences for DR Protected cross-technology
logical servers in a Matrix recovery management configuration.
Setting a failover target type preference
During a site failover, for every logical server that has been configured with disaster protection,
Matrix recovery management activates a similarly configured peer logical server at the recovery
site. For this purpose, Matrix recovery management interacts with the Matrix OE logical server
management capability to determine a list of appropriate available targets and chooses the most
suitable target to activate the logical server.
For a cross-technology logical server, the appropriate list of available targets may include both
physical servers and VM hosts. Matrix recovery management includes a Target type preferred
setting in the Sites configuration tab, where you can specify the type of target preferred for each
site, as illustrated in
Figure 20 (page 46) .
