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

Viewing and configuring networks
The following types of networks are discovered in infrastructure orchestration:
• Networks defined in Virtual Connect
• Networks defined in a hypervisor
VMware: port groups◦
◦ Hyper-V: virtual switches
◦ Integrity VM: virtual switches connected to a physical NIC
• Networks defined by the infrastructure orchestration administrator that identify VLANs carried
on a VC tunneled trunk
• Networks associated with some cloud bursting destinations (Savvis does not present its networks
externally)
See “Setting up virtual machine networks” in the HP Matrix Operating Environment Infrastructure
Orchestration User Guide for additional information.
When two or more hosts have the same network name, only one is shown in the infrastructure
orchestration console Networks tab. Subnets with the same name are collapsed into a single subnet
in IO. In the network details Associations tab, the Cluster/VC Domain Group shows the VCDG
and the cluster or the host (if not in a cluster) where the network is visible.
NOTE: Cloud capacity pool defined connections to external cloud provider are listed as Public,
Shareable, IPv4 networks in the software inventory. You cannot change the configuration of these
networks. For providers that support software defined networking, you can use provider interfaces
to configure the networking environment to which servers are provisioned.
To view and configure physical and virtual networks, the infrastructure orchestration administrator
must perform the following steps.
1. In the infrastructure orchestration console, select the Networks tab.
Matrix OE provides information about configured networks to infrastructure orchestration. For
each network to be used with infrastructure orchestration, add DHCP and/or static address
ranges. If networks do not appear correctly, try the following:
a. Refresh resources — see the first three steps shown in “Creating a virtual machine logical
server” (page 76).
b. Refresh the servers on the server tab using the green icon.
c. Refresh the networks on this network tab using the green icon.
2. Select each network you intend to use, and then click Edit Network.
