Cloud bursting with HP CloudSystem Matrix infrastructure orchestration and Savvis

Configuring Matrix infrastructure orchestration for cloud

bursting

Edit hpio.properties

1. Open the properties file in the default location at:

C:\Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure orchestration\conf\hpio.properties

2. Add the following lines to enable cloud provisioning and to inform infrastructure orchestration that there is

external capacity available in the system. The value of cloud.max.concurrent.requests is always 1 because all

operations sent to Savvis are serialized.

Note: This setting controls concurrency across all cloud provisioning operations, including providers that may

support a higher concurrency setting.

cloud.capacity=true

cloud.max.concurrent.requests=1

3. (Optional) Add the following lines containing recommended timeout values for cloud operations, in minutes.

timeout.create.cloud.logicalserver=180

timeout.delete.cloud.logicalserver=60

timeout.start.cloud.logicalserver=30

timeout.stop.cloud.logicalserver=30

timeout.deactivate.cloud.logicalserver=30

timeout.resume.cloud.logicalserver=30

timeout.add.cloud.datadisk=60

Edit Savvis properties

If you selected an Essential service profile for your VPDC, manually limit the number of VMs in all VPDCs to which

Matrix provisions.

1. Create an empty file at C:\Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure orchestration\savvis-

config.properties

2. Add the following line:

savvis.vms.max=13

Enable Savvis log (optional)

1. Open the log properties file in the default location at:

C:\Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure orchestration\conf\log4j.properties

2. Add the following lines:

# Savvis Cloud

log4j.category.com.hp.hpio.cloud.savvis=DEBUG

Create Savvis cloud pools

Create an xml file to specify the pools that will be available in IO for provisioning. For each VPDC in Savvis, create

an identifier and name pair. (The identifier and name do not have any relationship to the VPDC name, and can be

any value as long as they are unique.) Modify the following example and save the file as C:\Program

Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure orchestration\conf\savvis-cloud-pools.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<Id>Savvis-Cloud</Id>

<!-- This Id maps to a property file with the same name

The Id is used to retrieve properties for this given CapacityPool.

For this pool, there would be a properties file named "savvis-cloud-1.properties"

in the <IO>\conf directory

-->
