HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 Update 1 Release Notes

Cluster shared volume does not appear after Microsoft Hyper-V VM provisioning with
high availability enabled
If you use infrastructure orchestration to create and deploy a virtual provisioning template
on a Microsoft Hyper-V VM host with the High Availability (HA) option enabled, and
then view the virtual machine in the Failover Cluster Manager on the Hyper-V host, the
cluster shared volume (CSV) is not displayed in the provisioned VM information.
However, if you manually deploy the virtual machine using the Microsoft Hyper-V
Manager on the Hyper-V VM host, the Failover Cluster Manager correctly displays the
disk resource and the virtual machine resources created.
Suggested action
No action is needed; the highly available virtual machine disk was created correctly
on the CSV.
MachineObjectOU setting via sysprep is not supported on VMWare ESX hosts for
Windows Guest customization
Windows guest customization for setting the MachineObjectOU parameter via sysprep
is only supported on HyperV hosts and it is not supported on VMWare ESX hosts.
Suggested action
For setting the MachineObjectOU for Windows guests on ESX hosts, user need to use
the VMWare vCenter server.
Cluster shared volume is not correctly recognized unless all VM hosts in the Hyper-V
cluster are registered in Insight Control virtual machine management
When only one VM host in a Hyper-V cluster is managed by Insight Control virtual
machine management, the following areas are impacted:
• Matrix infrastructure orchestration — IO treats a cluster shared volume (CSV) as
a cluster disk, and allocates only one VM to the cluster disk. When trying to deploy
multiple VMs, the following error displays:
Provisioning request has paused. Modify storage volumes on
VM Hosts to satisfy the logical disk requirements. An IO
Administrator has been notified.
• Matrix OE logical server management — Only the CSV and cluster disk are
available on the VM host if the registered VM host ID is the VM host owner. If it
is not the owner, the VM host is placed on the Rejected List and an error indicates
that the storage is not available on the VM host.
Suggested action
Add all VM hosts that are in the Hyper-V cluster to Matrix infrastructure orchestration,
registering them with Insight Control virtual machine management as VM hosts. The
VM hosts can be left in the Unassigned pool, or they can be used as regular VM hosts
within IO.
Cannot provision a server group on Microsoft Hyper-V R1 with linked clone and high
availability enabled
If you attempt to provision a template containing multiple High Availability (HA)-enabled
linked clones on a Hyper-V R1 server, or you attempt to add a server to a server group
with a single HA-enabled linked clone on a Hyper-V R1 cluster disk, the request pauses
indefinitely for storage provisioning. A linked clone group must be provisioned on a
single datastore, but only one HA virtual machine can be provisioned to a Hyper-V
cluster disk.
