HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.2 Update 1 Infrastructure Orchestration User Guide

The following server pools are automatically generated and cannot be used for infrastructure service
creation.
• Unassigned pool contains all resources previously discovered by HP Matrix Operating
Environment. You can move resources from the Unassigned pool to another pool only after
the resource is licensed for use by infrastructure orchestration.
Matrix infrastructure orchestration automatically populates the Unassigned pool after installation
with the resources identified by Systems Insight Manager. Matrix infrastructure orchestration
updates the information each hour. After updating the available resources, click Refresh to
see the updates immediately.
• Maintenance pool contains resources that have failed or require administrative attention. When
physical servers fail to provision, they are automatically moved to the maintenance pool. You
can also manually move any compute resource into the maintenance pool.
• Other Organizations pool shows all of the compute resources that have been assigned to
organizations. This pool is displayed only when compute resources have been assigned to
organizations. Click on the particular compute resource to see the organization to which it
belongs.
Resources in Virtual Connect Domain Groups
Physical resources are only displayed on the console Servers tab and made available after a Virtual
Connect Domain Group is created in VCEM.
If you have more than one Virtual Connect Domain Group in your environment, as a best practice,
make sure that all servers in a server group belong to the same VCDG.
VM Hosts deployed on server blades
A physical server blade appears as a compute resource in a resource pool. If a VM Host is deployed
on that server blade, the VM Host appears as a separate compute resource. Therefore, for managed
server blades that are also VM Hosts, there are two entries, one entry with the server serial number
and a second entry with the host name.
Details for the server blade show “Deployed as VM Host <name> at <IP address>.”
