Cloud bursting with HP CloudSystem Matrix infrastructure orchestration: Matrix-to-Matrix, HP Matrix KVM Private Cloud, HP Cloud Services, and Amazon EC2

Enabling Cloud Capacity
Perform the following steps on the Central Management Server (CMS) where HP Matrix infrastructure orchestration is installed.
Edit the infrastructure orchestration properties file
1. Open the IO properties file in the default location at:
C:\Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure orchestration\conf\hpio.properties
2. Set the following properties as shown below to enable cloud provisioning and to inform infrastructure orchestration that there
is external capacity available in the system.
cloud.capacity=true
cloud.capacity.adapters=<n>
Where <n> is the adapter name, as follows:
• HP Cloud Services, Matrix-to-Matrix, HP Matrix KVM Private Cloud = nova
• Amazon EC2 = ec2
To enable more than one cloud adapter, use a comma separated list. For example, the following entry enables the HP Cloud
Services and Amazon EC2 adapters:
cloud.capacity.adapters=nova,ec2
Copy sample configuration files
Sample configuration files are located in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure orchestration\conf\sample\cloud\
Sample files
Matrix-to-Matrix
• MatrixOE-cloud-image-filters.xml
• nova-cloud-pools.xml
• sample-MatrixOE-cloud-pool.properties.xml
HP Matrix KVM Private Cloud
• MatrixKVM-image-filters.xml
• nova-cloud-pools.xml
• sample-MatrixKVM-pool.properties.xml
HP Cloud Services
• hpcs-image-filters.xml
• hpcs-flavors.xml
• nova-cloud-pools.xml
• sample-hpcs-pool.properties.xml
Amazon EC2
• ec2-image-filters
• ec2-instance-types
• ec2-cloud-pools
• sample-ec2-pool.properties
Before editing the sample files, copy them to:
C:\Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure orchestration\conf\cloud\
Define capacity pools
The set of capacity pools is defined by an adapter specific XML configuration file.
• HP Cloud Services, Matrix-to-Matrix, HP Matrix KVM Private Cloud: nova-cloud-pools.xml
• Amazon EC2: ec2-cloud-pools.xml
