Operating Environment Software Instruction Manual

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 size 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.
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.
The operation fails when:
• Resources are not available to allocate.
• SAN administrator cannot create the disks.
• Matrix infrastructure orchestration administrator rejects the request.
Activate servers in group operation
The Activate servers in group operation restarts the server.
To activate servers
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 Activate servers
During this operation, infrastructure orchestration:
• Validates the request
• Reallocates the servers (server blades)
• Powers on the servers
• Executes custom actions
