Specify the settings required for using virtual environments.
If you are using Xen, set up Xen to use HDLM devices in domainU. If you
are using KVM, register HDLM devices into the hardware configuration
file.

Disk Replication OS Installation
This subsection explains how to use the Master Image Deployment
functionality of Hitachi Compute Systems Manager (Compute Systems
Manager) or the disk replication functionality of Deployment Manager to
replicate an environment to which HDLM has been installed. Also, see the
Compute Systems Manager manual as necessary.
This method can be used in the following environment:
•
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
•
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Important
When creating a disk image file on the replication-source host, be sure to
reduce the number of LUs recognized by the replication-source host to 256 or
less. You can increase the number of LUs to the maximum number of LUs
that can be supported by HDLM on the replication-destination host after
distributing the disk image file to the replication-destination host.
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (using LABEL for the kernel parameter)
The following procedure shows how to use LABEL for the kernel parameter for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5:

.
Back up the replication-source host.
Use the System-level Backup functionality of Compute Systems Manager
or Deployment Manager to back up the replication-source host so that
you can restore the replication-source host after replication or in the
event that an installation error occurs for the disk replication OS.
