Logical servers can be made portable through techniques described in “Portability groups” (page
39).
NOTE: You must determine whether the provisioned operating system within a logical server
performs as desired on a variety of platforms. If a logical server has never been active on a platform
type, the HP Matrix Operating Environment shows a warning for each target of that type in the
Target Selection page during moves and activations. You must determine whether the target is
valid.
Storage definition
Storage can be defined through Storage Pool Entries or Storage Entries tied directly to a logical
server. The storage for cross-technology logical servers must be SAN-based. This approach uses
the normal SAN-boot approach within Virtual Connect and leverages ESX RDM technology which
presents boot and data LUNs directly to the virtual machine. For examples, see Figure 14 (page
43) and Figure 15 (page 43).
