NOTE: A server or virtual machine cannot be removed from a service using infrastructure
orchestration. If the server profile or virtual machine was deleted using, for example, Virtual Connect
Enterprise Manager or VMware vCenter, the deleted server or virtual machine is shown in
infrastructure orchestration with a status of Unknown, Deactivated, or Off (depending on whether
it was shut down before being deleted, and other factors), but it will continue to be listed as part
of the service until the service is deleted.
After successfully completing the operation, infrastructure orchestration provisions the additional
servers into the infrastructure orchestration infrastructure service, and they are available for the
duration of the service lease period. Access the new servers through the network.
The operation fails when:
•
Resources are not available to allocate
•
SAN administrator cannot create the disks
•
Matrix infrastructure orchestration administrator rejects the request
Add data disk to group operation
The Add data disk to group operation adds private or shared data disks to an existing infrastructure
service. This option is enabled only when a data disk is present in the template. Matrix infrastructure
orchestration provisions and allocates the storage to their attached servers.
The added disk is a based on one of the existing data disks and matches the size and configuration
of that disk.
To add a data disk
1. Open the infrastructure orchestration console, self service portal, or organization administrator
portal
2. Select the Services or My Services tab
3. Select a service and click Details or View Details
4. From the Actions or Server Actions list, select Add disks
When executing this operation, infrastructure orchestration:
•
Validates the request
•
Allocates the data disks
•
Obtains approval
•
Powers down servers
•
Makes the new disk visible to the servers
•
Powers up the servers
•
Executes custom actions
