Dynamic workload movement with BladeSystem Matrix: Fluid movement between physical and virtual resources for flexibility and cost-effective recovery

Command Line Interface

Enter /usr/bin/hppint -i to remove the migrate.cfg file and to then re-create the migrate.cfg

file.

Enter /usr/bin/hppint -u to update the migrate.cfg file.

Enter /usr/bin/hppint -m to move the network configurations using the PINT move algorithm.

Red Hat only-Enter /usr/bin/hppint -s to save the operating system network configurations to

the /etc/sysconfig/hppint/ifcfg-save directory as ifcfg-ethx.bak files.

Red Hat only-Enter /usr/bin/hppint -r to restore the saved network configurations to the

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory as ifcfg-ethx.bak files.

[Note]:

CLI is mainly for PINT internal use and the recommended usage is to use the script

as described:

1. Red Hat only-/etc/init.d/hp-pint start

2. SUSE only-/etc/init.d/hp-pint start

Configuring and Managing Cross-technology Logical

Servers

Increasingly platform independence and ease of mobility are critical for load balancing and routine

maintenance within the data center. Heterogeneous server environments (multiple vendors, server

types, product generations, and product families) exist in most datacenters. Portable logical servers

allow you to choose server configurations that make sense for your environment without having to

consider the mechanics of moving images.

Portability Groups

When you create a logical server, you must specify the portability of the logical server. You do this by

selecting a Portability Group from within the „Identity Page‟ of the Logical Server configuration

wizard. Once a logical server is associated with a particular portability group, it can potentially be

moved to any target system, e.g. Virtual Connect server or VM hypervisor within that portability

group. Logical server resource constraints, e.g. CPU/memory requirements and network/SAN

connectivity, are evaluated solely within the context of the portability group that the logical server is

associated with. Portability Groups come in two classes: Default and User Defined.

ID-VSE provides default portability groups depending on the resources found within your data center.

The Default portability groups include:
