Operating Environment Software Instruction Manual

Specify a Hostname. There are three parts to the physical server's hostname. 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 hostname. Although the requestor replacement string is optional, if you do not
use it, this template can only be provisioned once without generating duplicate hostnames.
Keep in mind that all the pieces must be short enough to fit into common network hostname
restrictions.
For example, if the hostname value in the template is matrix#, and the completion string is
abc6, the resulting hostname of the first server in the group will be matrixabc601.
Set the Network Interface 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.
NOTE: For Integrity deployment, always select “Automatic” or “Static.” IO does not support
DHCP for HP-UX OS deployment.
You can specify a network connection as requiring redundancy. When selected, IO
automatically configures NICs to the same network. The VC Profile is constructed such that
the NICs are distributed across alternate VC-Ethernet modules. IO only assigns auto/static IP
addresses to the primary NIC of the redundant pair. The failover NIC will not have an IP
address allocated or assigned. The service XML model is annotated with the NICs that
participate in the redundant pair and will also include the MAC addresses that have been
assigned to each connection. IO does not automatically team the NICs at the OS level.
The order in which you connect the networks in infrastructure orchestration designer governs
the NIC order in the VC profile. PXE is supported only on the first two ports of a LOM or MEZZ
NIC. In designer, add networks in order with the boot network in the first (or second) position
in the list.
