Resources not displaying and increasing timeouts

One or more types of infrastructure orchestration resources (for example, virtual networks) are not
displayed in infrastructure orchestration's user interfaces.

Issue

Due to a large number of resources to fetch, one or more of

infrastructure orchestration's resource fetch operations may have timed

Possible cause

out, waiting for completion. By default, infrastructure orchestration

is configured to fetch resources of each type for up to 5 minutes.

On the CMS on which infrastructure orchestration is running, timeouts can be configured in the
hpio.properties

file, located for example at: ..\Program Files\HP\Matrix

infrastructure orchestration\conf\hpio.properties

.

Action

The primary timeout properties that might need to be increased are the following:

timeout.get.serverpools

timeout.get.subnets

For large numbers of Software Automation (SA) or deployment images, the property is
timeout.get.images

.

Other timeout properties available to configure are the following:

timeout.get.storagepools

timeout.generate.storage.entry

timeout.get.vmtemplates

timeout.get.deployment.services

For example, to increase fetch subnets timeout from the default value of 5 minutes to
15 minutes, modify the line: timeout.get.subnets = 5 to: timeout.get.subnets =
15

.

Manual clean-up process (physical)

If an infrastructure orchestration physical server deployment or delete service request fails, perform
a manual clean-up process, which includes the following:

Fully erase the operating system from the boot disks.

Detach the blade from the storage.

Return the blade to an infrastructure orchestration server pool for a future provisioning request.

This type of failure forces the server blade to move to the infrastructure orchestration Maintenance
pool and the Matrix OE logical server is renamed with the prefix “Clean-me-”.

The server profile and boot disk are preserved, enabling an administrator to determine the cause
of the failure and perform any required maintenance before returning the server blade to a user
pool. Manual clean-up of the failed server blade depends on the deployment server used to provision
it.

For Insight Control server provisioning:
1.

Power on the server blade.

2.

Press F9, and select Advanced Options, Erase Boot Disk.

3.

Boot again, and press F9 again, and select the NIC as the first boot device.
