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

Assigning networks to organizations for VLAN separation
Assigning different Matrix infrastructure orchestration networks to each organization provides
VLAN separation for provisioning of either physical or virtual hosts.
When an IO template is defined, networks can be specified using attributes instead of by selecting
a specific networks. One of the attributes is the network name. Using naming conventions, a
template can call out a network by part of its name and the appropriate network for the organization
is assigned during allocation of the service. For example:
1. On the infrastructure orchestration console tab, assign VLANs organization_1_Production and
organization_2_Production to organization_1 and organization_2, respectively.
2. In infrastructure orchestration designer, create a template, and specify the network as follows:
a. In the Configure Network tab, select “Specify desired attributes”
b. Specify the “Allocation Name Hint:” as “_Production”
When a service is created for organization_1, the network will bind to organization_1_Production.
When a service is created for organization_2, the network will bind to organization_2_Production.
NOTE: If you specify a network by selecting “Specify desired attributes”, you cannot customize
the network when the service is created. Network customization can be performed only on named
networks.
