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

Availability tab displays the availability of the pools used by the services
owned by the user, and the Utilization tab displays the resource utilization of
the services owned by the user.
Before using Matrix infrastructure orchestration, you must set up server pools and networks, and
verify the Users and Software tabs using infrastructure orchestration console.
Verifying Matrix infrastructure orchestration users
The Users tab contains a list of all users authorized to use infrastructure orchestration. If you do
not see the users that you expect, see “User management overview” (page 52) to verify that every
user you want to grant infrastructure orchestration access is a member of the appropriate group.
NOTE: An IO SOAP user is automatically added and will be shown on this tab.
You cannot modify any settings on this tab.
Configuring server pools
Matrix infrastructure orchestration server pools are groups of resources from which users are entitled
to make requests. Before initiating a request for the first time, new server pools must be created
and users must be assigned to them. In addition to physical servers and VM Hosts, infrastructure
orchestration can provision the following types of resources:
ESX resource
pools
ESX resource pools are a type of compute resource created using VMware
vCenter. Matrix infrastructure orchestration can use ESX resource pools to provision
virtual machines on a standalone VM Host or in a cluster. ESX resource pools
enable a cluster to be divided into logical pools of memory and CPU resources
above the level of individual VM Hosts, so a VM Host or an ESXi cluster can be
shared by multiple organizations.
A pool containing an ESX resource pool must not contain any other type of
compute resource. A provisioning request can specify the use of multiple pools,
as long as any one pool containing an ESX resource pool is homogeneous. Virtual
machines can be allocated into ESX resource pools or into pools that do not
contain ESX resource pools. However, virtual machines cannot be allocated to
VM Hosts and clusters where the resource pools are defined.
