A logical server is a set of configuration
information that you create, activate, and move across physical and
virtual machines. It contains the logical server definition and description,
including the server compute resources (for example, number of CPU
cores and amount of memory), and the server connections to storage
fabric and networks.
When activated, a logical server is applied to
the creation of a virtual machine using hypervisor-based software
or to a bare-metal server blade using HP Virtual Connect technology.
Logical servers can be defined in Virtualization Manager using the
Create Logical Server wizard, or created and activated via the import
of an existing server blade or virtual machine.
Virtualization Manager also provides a convenient
way for you to move logical servers by allowing you to drag and drop
an active logical server from one system to another. When you select
a target on which to move a logical server, you are shown a Headroom
rating that displays between one and five stars, with the higher number
of stars denoting more excess resources are available on the target
server.

 | NOTE: You can use the logical servers feature in Virtualization
Manager only on a Windows CMS, although you can create and perform
operations on logical servers that run on a Windows, Linux, or HP-UX
system on HP ProLiant or Integrity servers. |
