Checking consistency automatically

When you modify server complex properties, the Server Complexes task runs an automatic consistency check. This check alerts you to any changes that may have been applied manually, or by another tool, or by another administrator.

This automatic check occurs after you make changes to the properties of a server complex and click OK, or after you move a Linux guest system to, or from, a server complex. Before the reconfiguration is applied, the new configuration is checked against the old properties. If there is an inconsistency, the Progress Indication window displays a report of the differences between the old property values and the actual state, and offers a choice to stop or to proceed.
註: This consistency check does not occur when you click the Apply button in the Server Complex Properties window.
