To Create a New Library
Virtual Image Library represents the storage for the collection of virtual server images, virtual disk images and appliance images. You can create a virtual image library and associate it to multiple virtualization pools.
Perform the following steps to create a virtual image library.
- In the Sun xVM Ops Center interface, select Libraries from the Navigation panel.
- In the Actions Panel, select the New Library option.
Note -- The New Library option is available in the Actions panel for all the sections available under the Libraries.
- Enter the following details of the new library in the Create New Library window:
- Name of the library.
- Description of the new library.
- Select the virtual pool that you want to be associated with this library.
- Select the type of file system, such as NFS or CIFS. Based on the storage server, select the resource type.
A sample format of the path is displayed in the URL. For example, if you have selected NFS, the sample path format displayed is nfs://<hostname>:<port>/<path>. - Enter the hostname and the correct path in the URL. For example, if the shared path on the storage server nfsserver is /export/nfsshare, then the URL should be nfs://nfsserver/export/nfsshare.
- Provide the username and password when CIFS resource type is selected to access the shared directory on the server.
- Enter the NIS domain name.
Note -- This is applicable only for CIFS libraries.
The new virtual image library is created and appears under the Libraries section.
