HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 Recovery Management User Guide

The HP Matrix Operating Environment provides default portability groups depending on the
resources found within your data center. The Default portability groups include:
• ESX—All ESX Hypervisors
• HYPERV—All Hyper-V Hypervisors
• Each Virtual Connect Domain Group—Each VCDG has its own Default portability group.
You can also create User Defined portability groups that extend the portability of a logical server
to unlike technologies. For example, moving logical servers between a Virtual Connect physical
server and a VMware ESX virtual machine host.
User Defined portability groups are defined by selecting Modify→Logical Server Portability Groups
in Matrix OE visualization as illustrated in Figure 9 (page 41).

If you have selected one or more targets in Matrix OE visualization, they are presented as potential
targets. Otherwise, all resources are presented. Figure 10 (page 42) provides an example of the
Modify Portability Group screen.
