HP Matrix Operating Environment Software - Manual (Page 110)

Select Deploy as Linked Servers to deploy the servers in the server group as linked, and adjust
the maximum number of servers as required. When this option is checked, the first logical
server in a linked clone logical server group is provisioned with both a parent VM and a clone
(child) VM. The remaining logical servers in the logical server group are provisioned with only
a clone VM. For more information about linked clones, see
VMware: Understanding Clones .
Notice the Server Type is Virtual. If High Availability is checked, infrastructure orchestration
deploys the virtual logical server to a VM Host that is in a High Availability (HA) cluster.
If there are no clustered VM Hosts available, the service is not created. If the checkbox is not
checked and only HA hosts/clusters are available in the target servers pools, the non-HA VMs
are allocated to HA VM Hosts.
5. Fill in the Networks tab for the Virtual Server Group.
Specify a Hostname. There are three parts to the virtual machine's hostname. The first part is
defined in this service template. The second part is specified by a user's service creation
request. The third part is a numeric suffix based on the number of servers created for this server
group.
The "#" is used in this template as a replacement string indicating where to place the requestor's
portion of the hostname. Although the requestor replacement string is optional, if you do not
use it, this template can only be provisioned once without generating duplicate hostnames.
Keep in mind that all the pieces must be short enough to fit into common network hostname
restrictions.
For example, if the hostname value in the template is matrix#, and the completion string is
abc6, the resulting hostname of the first server in the group will be matrixabc601.
6. For the Network Interface Assignment Type, choose the appropriate setting depending on
how you configured the IO environment:
DHCP Indicates that IP addresses are allocated dynamically to servers connected
to the subnet using DHCP.
