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

Specify a Hostname. There are three parts to the physical server's host name. The first part is
defined in this service template. The second part is specified by a user's service creation
request. The third part is a numeric suffix based on the number of servers created for this server
group.
The "#" is used in this template as a replacement string indicating where to place the requestor's
portion of the host name. Although the requestor replacement string is optional, if you do not
use it, this template can only be provisioned once without generating duplicate host names.
Keep in mind that all the pieces must be short enough to fit into common network host name
restrictions.
For example, if the host name value in the template is matrix#, and the completion string is
abc6, the resulting host name of the first server in the group will be matrixabc601.
NOTE: The relative host name portion of a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is supplied
based on the host name pattern and generated at service submit time. The DNS domain portion
comes from the subnet of the primary NIC that the server is attached to. That DNS domain
portion is configured in the Console under the Networks tab on the given subnet. Those two
parts are then combined to create the FQDN of the server being provisioned.
Set the IPv4 and/or IPv6 Assignment Type according to your IO environment configuration.
DHCP type will obtain the IP address from your DHCP server, while Static and Automatic types
will obtain the IP addresses from the static IP addresses configured in the network resource
configuration. The None/External type allows provisioning of a server with no IO assigned
IP address so that IP address preferences can be chosen later. The IP addresses can be
provisioned out-of-band to Matrix Operating Environment, or might not be needed (for example,
if you are using Active/Active NIC teaming). For more information, see the HP Technical
White Paper IPv6 Support in Insight Management available at http://h20564.www2.hp.com/
