HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 and 7.3 Update 1 Infrastructure Orchestration User Guide

• Runs custom OO flows for the selected servers
• Runs custom OO flows for the service
NOTE: Service or server deletion may fail if the network is reassigned after provisioning. For
example, an Insight Control server deployment or an Insight Control server provisioning deployment
might need to run an Erase Disk job during de-provisioning. For more information, see “Manual
clean-up process (physical)” (page 234).
Add data disk to group operation
The Add data disk to group operation adds private or shared data disks to an existing infrastructure
service. Matrix infrastructure orchestration provisions and allocates the storage to their attached
servers.
NOTE: You can add a data disk based on the attributes of an existing data disk, or you can
specify the size and other attributes of the data disk to add to the server group. The size does not
need to be the same as the size and configuration of an existing disk in the template.
NOTE: When adding another data disk based on a definition in the service template, the
appropriate SPM storage template is used. When adding a data disk with a new definition, you
will not be able to browse specific SPM storage templates. However, the request could be fulfilled
using SPM and the HP Matrix Default Storage Template.
NOTE: You can add new disks on virtual servers without requiring a reboot using Add Disk or
Disk Flex-up. An option to Cancel the request if a reboot is required is available. This feature is
available for VMware ESXi only. Hyper-V and HPVM are not supported. Depending on the OS,
additional operations, such as a re-scan of the disks, might be required before the disk is recognized.
NOTE: You can add disks to an activated logical server using Matrix Operating Environment
visualization. The new disks are recognized at the next activation. Supported for VMware ESXi
and Hyper-V only.
To add a data disk
1. Open the infrastructure orchestration console, self service portal, or organization administrator
portal.
2. Select the Services or My Services tab.
3. Select a service and click Details or View Details.
4. From the Actions or Server Actions list, select Add disks.
When executing this operation, infrastructure orchestration:
• Validates the request
• Allocates the data disks
• Obtains approval
• Powers down servers
• Makes the new disk visible to the servers
• Powers up the servers
• Executes custom actions
• Sends notifications
After successfully completing the operation, infrastructure orchestration provisions the additional
disks in to the infrastructure orchestration infrastructure service.
