Verifying vc domain groups – HP Matrix Operating Environment Software User Manual
Page 52
Lifecycle operations on a VM cluster are restricted as follows:
Restriction
VM cluster operation
Disallowed if there are VMs defined on the VM Hosts
Delete, shut down, power cycle, deactivate
Disallowed if there are running VMs in the cluster and
adding a disk will reboot the servers
Add disk to server group
Server pools must be homogeneous
1
Add server to server group
1
To increase the likelihood that the service is created successfully, ensure that the server pools are homogeneous by
including server resources that have the same number of CPUs, amount of memory and speed, and so on.
To bypass these restrictions for the delete and power cycle operations, enable the properties
vmcluster.vmhost.allow.delete
and vmcluster.vmhost.allow.powercycle in the
..\Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure orchestration\conf\
hpio.properties
file.
Configuring an environment for physical provisioning
For physical provisioning to perform correctly, set the following attributes in the ..\Program
Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure orchestration\conf\hpio.properties
file.
•
Set physical.max.concurrent.requests=10 to limit the number of concurrent physical
logical servers provisioned. If the attribute is set to a value greater than 10, physical logical
server provisioning might fail.
•
Set npiv.integrity.enabled=true to enable multi-initiator N-Port ID Virtualization
(m-NPIV) support on Integrity servers. Auto provisioning of storage that includes both private
and shared disks requires m-NPIV support. The npiv.integrity.enabled property is
disabled by default.
m-NPIV is supported on Integrity server blades using the QLogic FC controller with the HP-UX
11i v3 Update 8 (March 2011) and later release.
Physical provisioning requires:
•
Available VC domain groups in HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM)
•
Configuring server deployment platforms including Insight Control server deployment, Ignite-UX,
or HP Server Automation (SA)
•
Creating SAN-backed storage
See
“Matrix infrastructure orchestration storage management” (page 124)
for more information.
•
Creating job folders (this is specific to Insight Control server deployment; see
deployment job folders” (page 28)
).
Verifying VC domain groups
Matrix infrastructure orchestration requires Virtual Connect domain groups. To create a VC domain
group or verify an existing group, see the HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager User Guide at
.
Configuring infrastructure orchestration resources in Systems Insight
Manager
After installing infrastructure orchestration, a member of the HPIO_Administrators Windows group
can log in to the infrastructure orchestration console through Systems Insight Manager.
HPIO_Administrators can then set up resources to allow provisioning. To log in to the infrastructure
orchestration console, in Systems Insight Manager, select Tools
→Infrastructure orchestration.
