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

NOTE: Non-High Availability (HA) VMs with non-cluster Disk Pass-Through are supported
without limitations. High Availability VMs are only supported with pass-through cluster disks
if Maintenance Mode is turned on for those disks (using Microsoft Failover Cluster Manager)
before any provisioning or deactivate/reactivate operations. Maintenance Mode can be
turned off after successful provisioning, OS installation, and activation (or reactivation).
5. Fill in the Networks tab for the Virtual Server Group.
Specify a Hostname. There are three parts to the virtual machine'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.
6. Set the IPv4 and/or IPv6 Assignment Type according to how you configured the IO environment:
DHCP Indicates that IP addresses are allocated dynamically to servers connected
to the subnet using DHCP.
Static Indicates that the architect assigns the IP addresses used by each server
connected to the subnet. Using static IP addresses creates a template that
can be provisioned only one time.
