HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.2 Logical Server Management User Guide

• A set of Hyper-V Virtual Machine Hosts
• A set of HP Integrity VM Virtual Machine Hosts
• A set consisting of a single Virtual Connect Domain Group and a set of ESX Virtual Machine
Hosts
A logical server created in this type of portability group is a cross-technology logical server.
Specify a unique name for your user-defined portability group. The default portability group names
are displayed on the Manage Portability Groups screen so you can avoid selecting one of those
names for your user-defined portability group.
You may want to create a user-defined portability group to:
• Enable cross-technology moves of logical servers, for example, from a server with Virtual
Connect to an ESX virtual machine.
• Limit the number of servers or VM Hosts contained in a portability group. For example, if the
default “All ESX Virtual Machine Hosts” portability group contains a large number of virtual
machines, you can create a portability group that contains a smaller number of ESX virtual
machines within which logical servers can move. This can have the additional benefit of
reducing the number of rejected targets when you move the logical server.
You can select a portability group for a logical server using the Create→Logical Server… menu
selection.
