HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 Release Notes
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.
Some templates are not imported correctly and do not appear in Organization tab
Occasionally, some 6.3 infrastructure orchestration templates are not imported correctly. These
templates appear in the infrastructure orchestration console Templates tab, but do not appear in
the Organization tab Service Provider resource box. As a result, the templates cannot be assigned
to an organization.
Suggested action
Open the template in infrastructure orchestration designer, and “Save As” the template. It will then
appear in the Organization tab.
After upgrade, ioexec commands require installation path
The infrastructure orchestration Windows environment default installation path was changed from
C:\Program Files\HP\Insight Orchestration to C:\Program Files\HP\Matrix
infrastructure orchestration. In a new installation of Matrix OE 7.2 or later, the bin
folder for IO is added to the DOS path, enabling you to run ioexec commands from a command
prompt in any folder on the CMS. However, after an upgrade from Insight Dynamics 6.3 to Matrix
OE 7.2 or later, ioexec commands can be run only from the C:\Program Files\HP\Matrix
infrastructure orchestration\bin folder.
Suggested action 1
Manually enter C:\Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure orchestration\bin
on the command line before entering any ioexec commands.
Suggested action 2
Reboot the CMS to automatically update the IO bin folder to the DOS path.
Firefox 17 requires new method to accept self-signed certificate for access to IO
The first time you run IO in a Firefox 17 browser, a message “This Connection is Untrusted” might
be displayed. Firefox 17 might need a new certificate.
Suggested action
Do the following to assign a new certificate:
