Active System Manager for VMware Boot from SAN
11
Setting the server object count
1. Open the AS1000/AS800/AS200 ESXi boot from SAN template.
2. In the Resource tab, update the Object Count to the required value (should be two or
greater).
3. Save the template.
Updating environment variable artifacts in the global parameters
The following global parameters should have their values updated to correspond to the correct IP
addresses, and unique VCenter Cluster and VCenter Data Center names for the customer's environment:
• ASM Server IP Address
• VCenter IP Address
• VCenter Cluster Name
• VCenter DataCenter
The orchestration embedded within the template creates the boot LUN for each server and maps it
before initiating the ESXi installation.
Server migration using Active System Manager
With the existing limitation of server profile/template where the FC Identities (WWPN and WWNN) are
not configured on the QLogic FC cards, the following procedure needs to be used for server
replacement:
1. Add a new Dell Server resource type to the Running session.
Add a Dell Server Figure 6.
2. Provide Property based scheduling (PBS) in case a specific server is required for the
replacement. To providing the PBS values:
a. Select the server.
