HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 Release Notes

Cluster shared volume is not correctly recognized unless all VM hosts in the Hyper-V cluster are
registered in Insight Control virtual machine management
When only one VM host in a Hyper-V cluster is managed by Insight Control virtual machine
management, the following areas are impacted:
• Matrix infrastructure orchestration — IO treats a cluster shared volume (CSV) as a cluster disk,
and allocates only one VM to the cluster disk. When trying to deploy multiple VMs, the following
error displays:
Provisioning request has paused. Modify storage volumes on VM Hosts
to satisfy the logical disk requirements. An IO Administrator has
been notified.
• Matrix OE logical server management — Only the CSV and cluster disk are available on the
VM host if the registered VM host ID is the VM host owner. If it is not the owner, the VM host
is placed on the Rejected List and an error indicates that the storage is not available on the
VM host.
Suggested action
Add all VM hosts that are in the Hyper-V cluster to Matrix infrastructure orchestration, registering
them with Insight Control virtual machine management as VM hosts. The VM hosts can be left in
the Unassigned pool, or they can be used as regular VM hosts 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.
Suggested action 1
1. Cancel the Create or Add Server request.
2. Modify the template to remove the HA requirement, or
Modify the template to deselect linked clones and add a cluster disk for each virtual machine.
3. Resubmit the Create request, or
For the Add Server request, delete the existing service and recreate it with the updated template.
Take care to migrate data from the existing service to the new service before deleting the
existing service.
Suggested action 2
Upgrade to Microsoft Hyper-V R2, and specify a Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) instead of a cluster
disk in the template.
Microsoft SCVMM can be registered on one CMS
As part of the registration of Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM), the
web service component is copied from the CMS to the SCVMM host, which enables communication
between the SCVMM server and the CMS. As a result, SCVMM can be registered on only one
CMS. This means that in a federated CMS configuration, each CMS requires a different SCVMM
host to manage Hyper-V hosts through SCVMM.
Browsing to user interface requires default Systems Insight Manager port
HP Systems Insight Manager is installed with a default port of 50000 in the JBoss container.
Browsing to the infrastructure orchestration user interfaces, for example, Designer, depends on this
port value.
