HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.2 Update 1 Infrastructure Orchestration User Guide

To add a data disk
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 disks.
When executing this operation, infrastructure orchestration:
• Validates the request
• Allocates the data disks
• Obtains approval
• Powers down servers
• Makes the new disk visible to the servers
• Powers up the servers
• Executes custom actions
• Sends notifications
After successfully completing the operation, infrastructure orchestration provisions the additional
disks in to the infrastructure orchestration infrastructure service.
The operation fails when:
• Resources are not available to allocate.
• SAN disks cannot be created (by HP Storage Provisioning Manager or SAN administrator)
• Matrix infrastructure orchestration administrator rejects the request.
Activate servers in group operation
The Activate servers in group operation restarts the server.
To activate servers
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 Activate servers.
During this operation, infrastructure orchestration:
• Validates the request
• Reallocates the servers (server blades)
• Powers on the servers
• Executes custom actions
• Sends notifications
When reallocating a server blade, infrastructure orchestration must find a server blade that matches
the original logical server definition, and physical characteristics of the previously allocated server
blade, including processor architecture and model. In addition, the new server blade must have
at least the same number of processors, amount of memory, and processor speed. If infrastructure
orchestration cannot find a server blade that meets these requirements, the request fails.
