/* -------------- CUSTOM LOGIC ----------------------*/

Customizing existing rules

The advantage of providing a rules based allocation fitting process is that you can customize the existing
rules to change the business logic by modifying the CUSTOM LOGIC portion of the code. You can modify
or delete existing rules, or add new custom rules. Rules are written in Java and the Drools syntax.
Available hooks for customizing:

SubnetPolicyCheck.applyFitting

AttributeBasedSubnetPolicyCheck.applyFitting

SpecifiedSubnetPolicyCheck.applyFitting

AutomaticIpAddressPolicyCheck.applyFitting

StaticIpAddressPolicyCheck.applyFitting

DhcpIpAddressPolicyCheck.applyFitting

PhysicalServerPolicyCheck.applyFitting

PhysicalBootDiskPolicyCheck.applyFitting

NPIVDataDiskPolicyCheck.applyFitting

VirtualServerPolicyCheck.applyFitting

EsxDiskPolicyCheck.applyFitting

HypervDiskPolicyCheck.applyFitting

DasDiskPolicyCheck.applyFitting

SoftwarePolicyCheck.applyFitting

Writing a new rule file

Open a new drl file in a text editor, add the different sections of a rule file (as shown in

Example: Rule to

verify server memory criteria

), and add the new rule logic.

Package—The name of the package and is always com.hp.hpio.controller.policy.

Import—Declares the use of any other Java classes required to write the rule business logic.

Rules:

You can define multiple rules in a single rule (.drl) file.


Each rule contains the business logic that you would like to execute in your rule.

The INIT rule is a sample structure that you can duplicate and use as a starting point to define
your own rule.

You can also use tools such as Eclipse (

http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/updatesite3.3/

) to write rule

files by including the Drools Eclipse plug-in to the create rule project and including the required Insight
Orchestration libraries to the project. Using Eclipse helps with syntax highlighting and auto code completion.
