Logical server architecture Architecture type of the system on which you are
creating the logical server. Can be HP ProLiant or x86
system.
Operating system Operating system on the system on which you are
creating the logical server.
For a Virtual Connect logical server, the operating
system you specify is used by VCEM to set the host
mode in the storage array for proper presentation to
the logical server. You can specify Microsoft Windows
or Linux as the operating system for a Virtual Connect
logical server created on the ProLiant architecture,
and Microsoft Windows, Linux, HP-UX or HP
OpenVMS as the operating system for a Virtual
Connect logical server created on the HP Integrity
architecture.
For an ESX and Hyper-V virtual machine logical
server, the operating system is used by VMware to
create the correct virtual disk (storage) for the logical
server. You can specify Microsoft Windows or Linux
as the operating system for a virtual machine logical
server created on the ProLiant or x86 system
architecture.
Operating system variation Specific version of Microsoft Windows or Linux that
is the operating system for the VM guest. This
drop-dowm menu is enabled only when you specify
the default ESX portability group, or a user-defined
portability group containing an ESX hypervisor.

that is associated with the logical server.
If you do not enter a value, a managed resource name

ESX VM version Virtual machine hardware version of the ESX Host. If
you choose default, a logical server activated on an
ESX 3x VM Host creates a hardware version 4 VM
guest, and a logical server activated on an ESX 4x VM
Host creates a hardware version 7 VM guest.
If you choose Version 4, activating the logical server
always creates a version 4 VM guest, and ESX 3x and
