- System condition data is not displayed if the power is off at the monitored L-Server.

- If the CPU utilization status continues at 100% at the monitored L-Server, data collection timing may be delayed and an error of about

one second may occur. This may cause CPU utilization (average value for a specified unit of time) to exceed 100%. Take into account the possibility of data errors when using this display.

Example: If a monitored L-Server has one CPU and is displayed in units of one hour, the value in the system condition graphs and CSV file data may be displayed as 100.03% (60.02 minutes (near equal 3601 seconds)/60 minutes) even though the upper limit for CPU utilization is 100%.

Display examples for the Total tab and the All tab are shown below.

Point

The icons displayed in front of the virtual server names correspond to the usage of the virtual servers described in the specification.

- WEB: Web server

- AP: Application server

- DB: Database server

When a virtual server has multiple usages, an icon showing each usage separated by "/" will be displayed. Example: WEB/AP, AP/WEB/DB etc.

Note

- The server type cannot be changed with some types of virtualization software.

- When the value 0 or no valid value is specified for CPU frequency, CPU reserve clock rate, memory size, or memory reserve size, it

is treated as if the value 0.1 were specified. This modification is included in the changed items.

NICs tab

An IP address to be allocated to NIC can be set using the NICs tab. An IP address can be set only when "manual setting" was specified when the segment was edited for a subnet. Note, however, that a subnet cannot be modified when modifying the configuration of a system that has been deployed, and so the IP address cannot be modified either.

The following example displays the NICs tab. The following window shows the Reconfigure page used to subscribe to an L-Platform.

- 67 -

There are two ways of specifying an IP address as follows:

Automatic

Sets an IP address automatically from a subnet.

- Manual

Enters an IP address directly. When there is a conflict between the specified IP address and network resources, an error message will be displayed.

An MNG icon is displayed for the control NIC. The following window displays an example of an L-Platform where multiple NICs exist. The following window shows the Reconfigure

page used to subscribe to an L-Platform.

Each NIC is represented by one server. When a server is selected, the same server in each segment is selected. When a server is selected an icon is displayed showing a number at its lower left hand corner. The number represents an NIC number. Dark-colored servers are the NICs for administration, and light-colored servers are NICs for business.

When a server is dragged from the Add options and dropped on a segment, as many servers as the number of NICs specified for the segment in the image information are displayed.

- 68 -

NIC Extension and Reduction

This section explains NIC extension and reduction.

Click the Add NIC button to add a business NIC to the same segment as the control NIC. Click the Delete NIC button deletes an NIC.

Note

- This is possible only during L-Platform subscription. NIC extension and reduction are not possible after deployment.

- NICs cannot be added if they would exceed the maximum number of connections for the segment.

- Control NICs cannot be deleted.

- Since at least one NIC is required, it is not possible to delete all NICs.

- When extending or reducing NICs for a physical server, configure the number of NICs after settings are made to match the number

of NICs of the physical server being used.

Others tab

The Others tab can be used to check the operating system installed at a virtual server, the middleware and other software, and information on the patches applied to the software.

A display example of the Others tab is shown below.

The capacity of the system disk cannot be modified.

Boot priority Sets the priority order when performing batched power supply operations in either the L-

Platform or the tenant. Range:1-256.The smaller the value, the higher the priority order. Set to 0 when power supply operations are not carried out in a single batch. Note however

that this value cannot be set to 0 at the time of new deployment.

*: The server pool physical server with details closest to the specified CPU and memory information is allocated. Estimated charges are calculated according to the values entered for the CPU performance and memory capacity when newly deploying a physical server. The performance of the actual server deployed will be the closest possible to the entered values. For this reason, the estimated charges displayed may differ to actual charges. Estimated charges for physical servers that have already been deployed will be calculated according to the actual CPU performance and memory capacity.

NICs tab

Use the NICs tab to set the IP address allocated to an NIC. Note that the IP address can be set only if "manual setting" is specified for the subnet during segment editing. However, since the subnet cannot be changed by reconfiguration after a system is deployed, IP address changes are also not possible.

A display example of the NICs tab is shown below. Note that the window shown below is the L-Platform subscription Reconfigure page.

- 72 -

The following two methods are available for specifying an IP address:

- Automatic

The IP address is set automatically from the subnet.

- Manual

Enter the IP address directly. An error message is displayed if the specified IP address is inconsistent with the network resources.

The MNG icon is displayed for the control NIC. The window below is an example of the display when there are multiple NICs. Note that the window shown below is the L-Platform

subscription Reconfigure page.

- 73 -

NIC1 is represented by one physical server. When a server is selected, the selected state occurs for all the same servers. A numeric icon is displayed to the bottom left of selected servers. It indicates the NIC number. Dark-colored servers indicate management NICs, and light-colored servers indicate business NICs.

If a segment is dragged and dropped from the addition option, the number of servers displayed matches the number of NICs specified in the image information of the segment.

NIC Grouping (for Physical Servers)

This section explains NIC grouping.

- 74 -

- Making a group

Select multiple checkboxes, and then click the Form NIC Group button. However, Multidata input NIC cannot be grouped. (Control NICs are okay.)

- Cancelling a grouping
