A logical server is a set of configuration information that
you create, activate, and assign to operate within a physical or virtual
machine. It contains the logical server definition and description,
including the server compute resources (for example, number of processors
and amount of memory), and the server connections to networks and
storage fabrics.
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 run the logical servers feature of Virtualization Manager
only on a Windows CMS, although you can create and perform operations
on logical servers that run on a Windows or Linux system on HP ProLiant
servers. |
