Chapter 1 Configuring Virtual Blades

Configuring Virtual Blades

This section describes how to configure a new virtual blade or edit an existing blade. You can configure

resources such as the virtual blade number, description, boot method, disk allocation, CPU list, and other

parameters. Note that after a virtual blade is initially configured, the only resource parameters that can

be changed are memory and the bridged interface. To change these parameters on a virtual blade, stop

the virtual blade first, then start the virtual blade after making changes.

To configure a virtual blade on your WAAS device, follow these steps:

Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Devices > device-name.

Step 2 Choose Admin > Virtualization > Virtual Blades. The Virtual Blade Entries window appears (see

Figure 1-1).

Figure 1-1 Virtual Blade Entries List Window

Any existing virtual blades are displayed in the Virtual Blade Entries list.

Note Status is not available for virtual blades running on WAAS version 4.1.1, so the status column

shows NOT AVAILABLE. To get status, see the virtual blade Actions window (see Figure 1-3

on page 1-9).

Step 3 Click the Edit icon next to the virtual blade that you want to configure, or click the Create button to

create a new virtual blade. The Virtual Blade configuration window appears (see Figure 1-2).
