HP Matrix 7.2 KVM Private Cloud Getting Started Guide

• Virtual server size definition and management. The amount of memory to assign to a virtual
machine can be designated by selecting the instance type to associate with a virtual machine.
• Virtual machine host activation. The Matrix KVM Admin Console provides a way to activate
your VM hosts. An activated host has software installed and configured that enables the host
to be added to the private cloud.
How it works
HP Matrix KVM Private Cloud is integrated with Matrix Operating Environment 7.2 to manage
and provision KVM-based virtual machines in a data center. Matrix OE can be used for server
provisioning, storage provisioning and the hardware monitoring needed for building and managing
a KVM based private cloud.
The following graphic illustrates the relationship between the Matrix OE and the Matrix KVM Private
Cloud; particularly the flow of work among Matrix KVM Admin Console, the infrastructure
orchestration designer, the infrastructure orchestration self service portal, and a deployed KVM
cloud.
