Add server to group operation
To add a server
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 servers
During an Add server to group operation, infrastructure orchestration:
•
Validates the request
•
Allocates the servers (server blades or virtual machine hosts)
See “Allocating servers to a VM Host” (page 106) for more information.
•
Allocates IP addresses
•
Allocates the boot disk (physical and virtual)
See “Allocating storage to virtual machines” (page 107) for more information.
•
Obtains approval
•
Creates virtual machine or blade server profile
•
Deploys the operating system and other software to boot disk
•
Configures the virtual hardware
•
Customizes the operating system (networking, Sysprep)
•
Allocates the physical data disks
•
Provisions the servers for data disks
•
Boots the servers
•
Executes custom actions
•
Sends notifications
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
NOTE: IO manages a server group as a homogeneous entity, so custom template attributes are
not available on an Add Server operation.
Remove servers from group operation
The Remove Servers operation deactivates the servers, deallocates them and removes them from
the server group.
