HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.2 Update 1 Infrastructure Orchestration User Guide

Non-disruptive (workaround) method
The non-disruptive method is a workaround that does not disrupt your existing configuration or
existing VM guests. You can continue to use existing vNics created with HP Network Configuration
Utility (NCU). (This is intended as a temporary workaround until you can migrate your environment
using the disruptive method below.)
1. On the HyperV VM Host, rename each virtual switch associated with the VLAN tagging vNics
to a name that is different than the VLAN name discovered in infrastructure orchestration. (The
switch is actually a promiscuous switch that carries only one VLAN.)
2. Discover virtual networks by refreshing the infrastructure orchestration console Networks tab.
3. On the Networks tab, select the new network for the virtual switch, then click Edit Network.
a. Select the Trunk tab.
b. Click to select the Trunk check box next to the newly renamed virtual switch to mark it as
a trunk.
c. Click to select the VLANs Carried By This Trunk check box next to the IO network with
the old virtual switch name to mark it as a child of the new virtual switch trunk. There
should be only one VLAN for each of the renamed virtual switches.
d. Click Save.
Disruptive method
The disruptive method creates one “promiscuous mode” vSwitch that supports multiple VLANs. This
is the intended way for Hyper-V VLAN tagging to be configured in infrastructure orchestration 7.0
and later.
1. Use NCU to delete the vNics created for VLAN tagging.
2. Delete the HyperV virtual switch from the VM Host associated with the deleted vNics.
3. Attach the multi-VLAN interface to a “promiscuous” Hyper-V switch. (The multi-VLAN interface
is likely a NCU interface that is teaming two interfaces.)
4. If any existing VMs were using the deleted vNics, redefine the networks for each VM to connect
to the promiscuous switch with the appropriate VLAN ID.
Configuring pools
Pools are groups of resources used to submit requests to create new infrastructure services or add
to existing infrastructure services. A new pool must be created and users must be assigned to it
before initiating any requests.
The infrastructure orchestration console Servers tab displays the following types of resources,
depending on the selection in the Display list.
• Pools and Compute Resources
Summary of all pools and resources (default)
• Compute Resources
Summary of all physical servers, VM Hosts, ESX resource pools, and cloud resources
• Pools
Summary of all server pools (physical, VM Host, or combined), ESX resource pools, and cloud
resources
