Note
When using "auto-configuration for network device" function on a LAN switch, register it as a network device using the method described
in "5.7 Registering Network Devices" instead of re-executing LAN switch discovery.
7.5 Modifying Network Resource Specifications
This section explains how to modify specifications of network resources.
The availability of modification for each item depending on the network resource type is shown below:

*1: Even after changing external connection ports, virtual switches, port groups, and virtual bridges that have been deployed can be used
as is. New information on the external connection ports will be reflected on the configuration of virtual switches, port groups, and virtual
bridges deployed after modification of the network resource. When modifying the deployed network according to the external connection
port, server virtualization software must be operated directly to do so.
*2: Even after changing physical LAN segments, virtual switches, port groups, and virtual bridges that have been deployed can be used
as is. New information on the physical LAN segments will be reflected on the configuration of virtual switches, port groups, and virtual
bridges deployed after modification of the network resource. When modifying the deployed network according to the physical LAN
segment, server virtualization software must be operated directly to do so.
*3: The subnet address and subnet mask of admin LAN can be changed, when there are no physical servers using the network resources
of the target of modification.
*4: Modification can be performed by executing the rcxadm mgrctl modify command.
*5: Possible when the network resource has been created specifying auto="true" for the "<SwitchConfiguration>" element in the XML
definition file.
Use the following procedure to change network resource specifications.
