Moving logical systems


Within a scenario, in addition to moving workloads, you can also move logical systems from one physical system to another.

  1. In a physical system box, click the logical system that you want to move and hold the left mouse button down.
    The cursor changes shape with red arrows pointing at the target system, and the logical system undocks itself from the host logical system.
  2. Drag the logical system to the physical system that you want to move it to, and release the mouse button to implement the following changes in the workspace.

    Warning

    You may have to change the logical system distribution, if the logical system Online Processors count is greater than the physical system Processor count. Also, you may want to change the distribution if you use a different processor. 

    • The logical system appears in the desired physical system.  
    • The Change Description List pane describes the last logical system move that you completed.
    • A red asterisk appears next to the scenario name in the Scenario Explorer tree, indicating that there are unsaved changes to the scenario.
  3. Right-click the scenario name in the Scenario Explorer tree and choose Save Changes to save the changes to the scenario.
    When your changes are saved, the red asterisk no longer appears next to the scenario name in the Scenario Explorer tree. 
Warning

 Another way to move a logical system is to right-click on the logical system in the workspace and choose Move Logical System to . This opens a dialog box where you can choose the target system. 

Tips for moving logical systems

Consider the following tips when moving logical systems:


    • To move the logical system back to its original physical system, use ChangesView to remove the change. 
    • The target system should not already have a logical system with the same name. If it does, the moved logical system will have a version number added to its name. For example, BMXQ might become BMXQ_02 on the target system. 
    • You can move a logical system to a physical system by dragging and dropping the logical system onto the physical system.
