HP Matrix Operating Environment Software - Manual (Page 42)

Setting up an Integrity virtual machine network
To create an Integrity VM vSwitch, use the hpvmnet command on the Integrity VM Host.
NOTE: Matrix infrastructure orchestration uses only Accelerated Virtual I/O (AVIO) network
devices for Integrity VM.
An Integrity VM cannot be configured with a connection to a local virtual network through
infrastructure orchestration. Only vSwitches connected to a physical NIC are recognized by
infrastructure orchestration.
Matrix infrastructure orchestration identifies Integrity VM virtual networks using vSwitch names,
which are limited to eight characters. Network names are correlated across hypervisor and VC
technologies to allow an infrastructure service to be provisioned with logical servers of different
types configured on the same network. Employing this capability requires the eight-character limit
to be extended to the other hypervisor and VC configurations in the managed environment.
For more information about Integrity VM, see HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM Administrator Guide
and HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM Release Notes on the following website:

Setting up a Hyper-V virtual machine network
To add a network for use by the virtual machines provisioned through infrastructure orchestration,
perform the following steps for each Hyper-V VM Host.
For more information, see “Configuring trunk and VLAN networks to enable support for Hyper-V
VLAN tagging” (page 70) .
1. Connect to the Hyper-V host using Remote Desktop.
2. Open Hyper-V Manager and choose the server to be connected.
1. In the Actions list on the right side of the panel, select Virtual Network Manager....
2. Select New Virtual Network.
3. Under Connection Type, select External to configure a physical network.
4. Click Add.
5. In the Name field, enter the name of the network.
6. Under Connection Type, select the network interface from the External drop-down list.
NOTE: To use this network on the management system, select Allow management
operation system to share the network adapter.
7. Select OK.
Insight Control virtual machine management templates
Matrix infrastructure orchestration uses VMware templates as deployment targets for ESX. For
information about creating VMware templates, see the VMware documentation at
http://
www.vmware.com/support/pubs/vs_pages/vsp_pubs_esxi41_i_vc41.html .
NOTE: VM template-based provisioning is not available for Integrity VM.
To create virtual machine management templates from virtual machines, use Systems Insight Manager
to do the following:
1.
Power off the virtual machine to be used in the virtual machine management template. It is
good practice to cleanly power off the virtual machine by accessing the virtual machine and
performing an operating system shutdown rather than using a hypervisor power off command.
If the virtual machine is in a suspended state when used to create the template, provisioning
will fail during customization with the error message VM must be powered off for
customization
.
