HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 Update 1 Installation and Configuration Guide for Provisioning with Virtual Resources

The help text shown explains that a "#" character is used in a template Hostname as a
replacement string indicating where to place the requestor's portion of the hostname. Although
the requestor replacement string is optional, if you do not use it then this template can only
be provisioned once without generating duplicate hostnames. The replacement string can be
positioned anywhere in the template hostname. Keep in mind that all the pieces must be short
enough to fit into common network hostname restrictions.
7. For the Network Interface Assignment Type, choose the appropriate setting depending on
how you configured the IO environment:
DHCP Indicates that IP addresses are allocated dynamically to servers connected
to the subnet using DHCP.
Static Indicates that the architect assigns the IP addresses used by each server
connected to the subnet. Using static IP addresses creates a one-off template
that can only be provisioned one time.
Automatic Indicates that IO automatically selects the static IP addresses to be allocated
from the static IP address range set for the network.
None /
External
When selected, Matrix OE does not assign an IP address. Useful for NIC
teaming or if IP addresses are externally assigned.
8. On the Software tab, select the appropriate template to use. Only VM templates created using
the procedure described earlier are listed. You also see the physical server deployment jobs,
but they are unavailable for selection during the creation of a VM.
A server group or logical server can be IPv4, dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6), or IPv6. However,
the management and deployment networks remain as IPv4 for dual stack. For more information,
see the IPv6 Support in Insight Management white paper.
