HP Matrix Operating Environment Software - Manual (Page 104)

The Total Reconfiguration Cost shows the total changed cost of the increased or decreased
number of processors or amount of memory, based on the per unit cost specified on the
Configure Server Group Config tab.
During this operation, infrastructure orchestration:
•
Validates the request
•
Obtains approval
•
Sends an edit logical server request to Matrix OE logical server management with the
corresponding parameters for each of the request’s target servers
•
Updates the IO service metadata based on the request execution results
NOTE: When editing the memory and processor information for a running virtual server, the
Matrix OE software will force a shutdown of the virtual server (and this non-graceful shutdown will
result in one or more reboots). When the virtual server is restarted it will have the new memory
and processor configuration. If the virtual server is not running, the values can be edited and the
virtual server will remain stopped.
Managing floating IP addresses
From the Services tab in infrastructure orchestration console, you can perform the following:
•
Create a new floating IP address and associate it with a cloud logical server.
•
Move an existing floating IP address from one cloud logical server to another.
•
Remove a floating IP address from a cloud logical server and release its allocation.
The lifecycle of a floating IP address is independent from the server to which it is added, allowing
it to be moved between servers. A floating IP address should be removed explicitly when it is no
longer needed.
NOTE: Floating IP address operations can be performed only on logical servers deployed to a
cloud provider.
Create, move, or remove a floating IP address
1. From the Services tab in infrastructure orchestration console, select the service you want to
modify.
2. Double-click the service, click Details, or click the Service layout preview graphic.
3. From the Actions list, select Manage floating IPs.
The Manage Floating IP Addresses dialog appears.
4. Select from the following actions:
a.
To create a new floating IP address, expand the tree and select a logical server. Click
Create new floating IP, and then click OK.
b. To move an existing floating IP address, expand the tree and click Edit next to the NIC
to which you want to move the address. Type the IP address, and then click OK.
c. To remove a floating IP address, expand the tree and select the logical server. Select the
IP address and then click OK.
5. The message Your floating IP address request has been submitted appears.
6. Click OK to close or View Request to watch the status of the request.
Managing server snapshots
A server snapshot captures the entire state of an ESX virtual machine at the time you create the
snapshot, including settings and virtual disks. The snapshot can be used later to revert the virtual
