Cloud bursting with HP CloudSystem Matrix infrastructure orchestration and HP Cloud Services or Amazon EC2

Configuring CloudSystem for bursting to HP Cloud Services

Perform the following steps on the Central Management Server (CMS) where HP Matrix infrastructure orchestration is

installed.

Edit the infrastructure orchestration properties file

1. Open the IO properties file in the default location at:

C:\Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure orchestration\conf\hpio.properties

2. Set the following properties as shown below to enable HPCS cloud provisioning and to inform infrastructure

orchestration that there is external capacity available in the system.

cloud.capacity=true

cloud.capacity.adapters=nova

3. (Optional) Set the following property as shown below to cause IO to delete the service when the lease ends and

cancel all pending requests. If you do not change this property, email notification is sent but no action is taken

when the lease ends.

lease.end.policy=delete

Copy sample configuration files

Sample configuration files are located in ..\Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure

orchestration\conf\sample\cloud\. Copy the following four HPCS sample files to ..\Program

Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure orchestration\conf\cloud\ before editing them.

 nova-cloud-pools.xml

 sample-hpcs-pool.properties

 hpcs-instance-types.xml

 hpcs-image-filters.xml

Define capacity pools

Edit the sample capacity pool definition file named nova-cloud-pools.xml. Add <Resources> elements to

represent additional capacity pools as needed.

A capacity pool definition appears as a Cloud Resource in the Matrix infrastructure orchestration Designer, Self

Service Portal, and Console.

In the following example, a capacity pool named "Sample HP Cloud Services capacity pool" is defined.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<!--

Add one Resources element for each cloud capacity pool.

The capacity pool configuration is specified in a property file based

on the pool Id, such as "sample-hpcs-pool.properties".

-->

<Resources xsi:type="CloudCapacityPool"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<Id>sample-hpcs-pool</Id>

<Name>Sample HP Cloud Services capacity pool</Name>

<Provider>HP Cloud Services</Provider>

</Resources>

</CapacityPool>
