The Anti-Affinity Groups perspective lists the different anti-affinity groups that have been created and the virtual machines that belong to them.
Anti-affinity groups specify that specific virtual machines should never run on the same Oracle VM Server. An anti-affinity group applies to all the Oracle VM Servers in a server pool. You may want to set up anti-affinity groups when you want to build-in redundancy or load balancing of specific applications in your environment.
If you add a virtual machine to an anti-affinity group that already has a virtual machine in the group running on the same Oracle VM Server, the job is aborted and the virtual machine is not added to the group. To add the virtual machine to the anti-affinity group, migrate it to another Oracle VM Server, then add it to the group.
The following columns are displayed in the management pane:
Name: The name that has been configured for the anti-affinity group.
Description: The description that has been configured for the anti-affinity group.
Virtual Machines: A comma-separated list of the virtual machines that belong to the anti-affinity group.
This perspective includes a toolbar that consists of the following options:
