Virtual service deletion

Matrix infrastructure orchestration unable to successfully reserve resources

In some circumstances, when processing a create request for a template containing a network
specified by attributes and a virtual logical server group, infrastructure orchestration may be unable
to successfully reserve resources even though they exist.

Issue

There is not a specific failure message for this issue, although the problem is indicated by a server
reservation failure message. The issue applies only to virtual logical servers.

Matrix infrastructure orchestration performs subnet allocation prior to server allocation. Consider
the following case:

Possible cause

Two subnets (Subnet1, Subnet2) match LogicalSubnetA.

Subnet1 is associated with VmHost1 and no others.

Subnet2 is associated with VmHost2 and no others.

Based on subnet allocation criteria, Subnet1 is the best choice for LogicalSubnetA.

However, if VmHost1 is unsuitable for the LogicalServerGroups associated with LogicalSubnetA,
the reservation will fail without Subnet2 being evaluated. VmHost1 might be unsuitable because it
is not recoverable or it has an insufficient number of processors, in which case the following server
reservation error message would appear;

"Reservation failed for logical server SvrGrp1-1. Unable to find a

virtual server with the following requirements: Recoverable. 3

processor(s)."

To resolve this issue, narrow the network selection options, eliminating general specifications (“Any”
options) from the network selection attributes. If removing all general options does not select the

Action

correct network, specify the network by name or select fewer server pools and resources when
submitting the request.

Could not find a provisioned infrastructure service with the specified logical server in Matrix
infrastructure orchestration

From the Matrix OE logical server perspective, clicking on the Manage this logical server with
Matrix infrastructure orchestration icon displays the following message: Could not find a

Failure message

provisioned infrastructure service with the specified logical server in

Matrix infrastructure orchestration. If a physical server was selected

and the infrastructure service was provisioned by infrastructure

orchestration, check if its status is not standby.

The logical server had been deactivated.

Possible cause

Action

If it is not a “clean-me” logical server then return to infrastructure orchestration and issue an
Activate servers request for the logical server.

If it is a “clean-me” logical server then perform a manual clean-up process for the logical server.
See

“Manual clean-up process (physical)” (page 181)

Adding servers to services

Add data disk request fails

Add data disk request fails.

Issue

Server deactivated

Possible cause

This error might occur if attempting to add a data disk for logical servers that are deactivated. To
continue to add the data disk, initiate an Activate servers request, and after restoring the service,
add the disks to the Logical Server Group.
