HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.2 Update 1 Infrastructure Orchestration User Guide

For example, if the administrator sets:
allow.customize.template.network =
truecustomize.template.network.inclusion.list = Service
Provider,orgA, orgB
Then only users from Service Provider, orgA, and orgB are allowed to customize networks.
All others are prevented from making changes.
Values can be either organization names or IDs. Using IDs will prevent the configuration from
becoming incorrect when an organization is renamed.
Specifying Service Provider in the inclusion list enables users who are not assigned to
an organization to modify networks.
Configuring a federated CMS environment
A Matrix infrastructure orchestration federated CMS environment is an environment in which multiple
management servers cooperatively share the responsibility for managing a larger number of
resources than can be managed by a single server.
A new infrastructure orchestration installation is configured as a primary CMS and is ready to
control a federated CMS environment when secondary CMSs are installed and configured.
An infrastructure orchestration federated CMS environment:
• Allows increased scalability for service catalog-based auto-provisioning (up to 12,000 ProLiant
virtual machines and 6,000 HP Integrity virtual machines)
• Contains one primary CMS running infrastructure orchestration and one or more secondary
CMSs running Matrix Operating Environment (infrastructure orchestration cannot be installed
on a secondary CMSs)
A federation can contain up to five CMSs. The recommended configuration is:
• One primary CMS with up to 2,000 managed nodes
• Up to four secondary CMSs with up to 2,500 managed nodes each
The primary CMS manages the aggregated resources of all CMSs. Matrix infrastructure orchestration
must be installed only on this server. A secondary CMS is a CMS that participates in the federation,
where resources exist and provisioning from infrastructure orchestration may occur, but infrastructure
orchestration does not run directly on secondary CMSs.
To execute infrastructure orchestration provisioning across multiple CMSs, infrastructure orchestration
on the primary CMS uses the secondary CMSs logical server management, virtual machine
management, and other supporting software layers.

Manually enabling federated CMS in new installations
Federated CMS is enabled by default in new installations. However, during the installation
procedure, if the CMS IP address is not resolved to the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN),
one of the following errors is displayed:
Failed to enable HP Insight Orchestration Federated mode.
HP Matrix OE infrastructure orchestration was successfully installed but the federated CMS feature was not
enabled.
