— Storage
You can activate a Virtual Connect blade logical server only if you specified
shared (SAN) storage as your storage configuration when you created the logical server.
Logical server management requires that the operating system boots only from SAN,
and does not support any operating system that boots from a non-SAN disk.
A virtual machine host that is running on a server with Virtual Connect with a SAN
boot disk can be managed as a Virtual Connect logical server.
Logical server management leverages Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager and Virtual
Connect Manager to provide VC-based functionality. HP recommends that you are familiar
with these technologies. See
and
for more information.
After installing or upgrading firmware, use the Tools
→Logical Servers→Refresh... menu
selection to refresh the logical server database with the VM Manager and Virtual Connect
Enterprise Manager inventories.
