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

Configuring CloudSystem for bursting to Amazon EC2

Perform the following steps on the 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 EC2 cloud provisioning and to inform infrastructure

orchestration that there is external capacity available in the system.

cloud.capacity=true

cloud.capacity.adapters=ec2

To enable more than one cloud adapter, use a comma separated list. For example, the following entry enables

the HP Cloud Services and Amazon EC2 adapters:

cloud.capacity.adapters=nova,ec2

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 four EC2 sample files to ..\Program Files\HP\Matrix

infrastructure orchestration\conf\cloud\ before editing them.
