6.8.1. Adding an Oracle VM Server to a Server Pool

When you need more resources in a server pool (such as the number of CPUs and the size of memory), you can add more Oracle VM Servers. For example, when you want to run more virtual machines and the resources in the server pool are reaching capacity, you can add more Oracle VM Servers which increases the available resources.

Adding Oracle VM Servers to a server pool requires the modification of both the cluster configuration information and the server pool information, on all Oracle VM Servers. This is performed automatically.

Adding Oracle VM Servers to a server pool may trigger pending HA operations if there were previously insufficient resources to run all HA virtual machines.

Note

All Oracle VM Servers in a server pool must have the same Oracle VM Agent password.

To add Oracle VM Servers to a server pool:

  1. In the Home view, select the server pool in the Server Pools folder in the navigation pane. Select Add/Remove Servers from the Actions menu. The Add/Remove Servers from the Server Pool dialog box is displayed.

    This figure shows the Add/Remove Servers from the Server Pool dialog box.
  2. Select the Oracle VM Servers you want to add to the server pool from the Available Servers list box and move them to the Selected Servers list box. Click OK.

The server pool is updated to include new Oracle VM Servers.
