HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.1 Release Notes

Provisioning errors on Hyper-V cluster after CSV disk failure
If a cluster shared volume (CSV) is in a failed state (for example, if LUNs are not available or in a
read-only state), Insight Control virtual machine management cannot obtain any information about
the CSV. Subsequently, operations on the Hyper-V cluster (including provisioning) will fail, or all
VM hosts in the cluster will be excluded from operations.
Suggested action
1. Remove the failed CSV from the Hyper-V cluster and correct the issue that caused the failure.
2. Bring the CSV back online.
3. Manually refresh server resources in Matrix OE visualization by selecting Tools→Logical
Servers→Refresh....
4. Retry the operation.
Templates that connect a physical disk to a virtual server group cannot be provisioned
Designer allows a physical disk to be connected to an ESX and Hyper-V virtual server group and
allows you to set the Raw Device Mapping Type for the physical disk. However, provisioning a
template with this configuration returns an error.
Suggested action
In infrastructure orchestration designer, delete the physical storage component and retry the create
service operation.
NIC is not configured properly on a new VM after a successful RHEL deployment
Networking may not work on a provisioned ESX Linux virtual machine. This is due to a known
VMware issue.
Suggested action
For information about how to reconfigure your network on the provisioned VM, see http://
kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&
externalId=2002767.
VM cluster provisioning requires restart of VMware Management Agents for preferred
hostname to be registered in DDNS
The VM cluster Operations Orchestration workflows enable Dynamic DNS integration by setting
a VMware property. For this property to be activated, and the DDNS registration performed, the
management network on the ESX host must be manually restarted.
Suggested action
After provisioning an ESXi VM cluster, if full registration in a DDNS environment is required, restart
the Management Agents on each VM host in the VMware cluster just created using the server
console. You can alternatively use the vCenter VM host context menu to request that the host be
re-booted. The fully qualified name of the host will then be registered.
Set retry parameters for BL620c G7 and BL680c G7 blades
Matrix OE infrastructure orchestration may time out while waiting for the server to be recognized
due to long server post times, particularly when using the BL620c G7 or the BL680c G7.
Suggested action
To avoid this issue on any server:
1. Edit C:\Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure orchestration\conf\
hpio.properties and set the retry.count.ares.pxe parameter to a value greater
than 30.
2. Restart the HP Matrix infrastructure orchestration service.
