HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.0 Release Notes

Physical disks with multiple partitions are unsupported unless all but the first partition are excluded
If your environment contains a physical disk with multiple partitions (volumes with the same disk
identifier) and you want to provision virtual machines on that disk, exclude all partitions except
the first partition on the disk. A virtual machine created on a physical disk with two or more partitions
without this exclusion is unsupported, and the service could fail to deploy with the error “Import
failed for logical-server. VM Host datastore not found.”
Suggested action
Exclude all partitions except the first partition on the disk in the “VOLUMES TO EXCLUDE” section
of the hpio.properties file.
For example, if there are three volumes (C:, D:, and E:) on a physical disk, exclude the D: and E:
volumes to provision a logical server on the virtual machine created on the C: volume of the physical
disk.
Cluster shared volume does not appear after Microsoft Hyper-V VM provisioning with high availability
enabled
If you use infrastructure orchestration to create and deploy a virtual provisioning template on a
Microsoft Hyper-V VM Host with the High Availability (HA) option enabled, and then view the
virtual machine in the Failover Cluster Manager on the Hyper-V host, the Cluster Shared Volume
(CSV) is not displayed in the provisioned VM information.
However, if you manually deploy the virtual machine using the Microsoft Hyper-V Manager on the
Hyper-V VM Host, the Failover Cluster Manager correctly displays the disk resource and the virtual
machine resources created.
Suggested action
No action is needed; the highly available virtual machine disk was created correctly on the CSV.
Cluster shared volume is not correctly recognized unless at least two VM Hosts managed by IO
share the volume
When only one VM Host in a Hyper-V cluster is managed by infrastructure orchestration, IO treats
a cluster shared volume (CSV) as a cluster disk, and allocates only one VM to the disk. (Normally
multiple VMs can be allocated to a CSV, but only one VM can be allocated to a cluster disk. )
When this occurs, the following error is displayed: “Provisioning request has paused. Modify
storage volumes on VM Hosts to satisfy the logical disk requirements. An IO Administrator has
been notified.”
Suggested action
Add at least two VM Hosts that share the CSV to Matrix OE, and register them with Insight Control
virtual machine management as VM Hosts. The second VM Host can be left in the Unassigned
pool, or it can be used as a regular VM Host within IO.
Cannot provision a server group on Microsoft Hyper-V R1 with linked clone and high availability
enabled
If you attempt to provision a template containing multiple High Availability (HA)-enabled linked
clones on a Hyper-V R1 server, or you attempt to add a server to a server group with a single
HA-enabled linked clone on a Hyper-V R1 cluster disk, the request pauses indefinitely for storage
provisioning. A linked clone group must be provisioned on a single datastore, but only one HA
virtual machine can be provisioned to a Hyper-V cluster disk.
