HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.2 Update 1 Infrastructure Orchestration User Guide

Before importing a server, check the networking configuration as follows.
• Make sure that the IO network that corresponds to each network used by the existing virtual
machine has a static range that includes the existing virtual machine’s IP address.
• If the virtual machine is using an address that you do not want as part of the static IP ranges,
create a DHCP range with at least one free IP address.
The following are limitations of the Import VM feature.
Not supportedSupported

To import a virtual machine as an IO service
1. Open the infrastructure orchestration console and then click the Services tab.
2. Click the Import button. The Import an existing server as an IO service dialog is displayed.
3. Select an ESX or Hyper-V virtual machine from the environment that has a status of Valid.
(Hover your mouse over Error or Warning status icons to see details of the errors.)
NOTE: Conditions that cause a non-Valid status include:
• Server is missing host name.
• Server is missing OS type.
• The server cannot be imported because its name contains special characters. Only A-Z,
a-z, 0-9, - or _ are supported.
• Servers with a virtualization type other than ESX or Hyper-V cannot be imported.
• Virtual network interface is not defined.
• Network is missing ID.
• Server IP address was not found.
• VM Host is not defined.
• VM Host IP address is missing.
4. Click Next.
5. Enter a service name that is not already in use within the organization. The service name can
contain up to 15 characters using letters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), space, underscore, and
hyphen.
6. Select an organization from the drop-down menu, or select Service Provider if you do not
want to assign the service to a particular organization. If you select an organization, the
service is visible only to the users of the organization.
