d. Click Create to complete the request, or Cancel to cancel the action.
5. To delete a snapshot, expand the tree, select a snapshot, and click Delete. The Delete snapshot?
dialog appears.
a.
(Optional) Click to select Also delete snapshot children to delete any children of the
snapshot. The relationship between snapshots is similar to that of a parent to a child.
b. Click Delete to complete the request, or Cancel to cancel the action.
6. To revert a VM to a snapshot, expand the tree, select a snapshot, and click Revert. The Revert
to snapshot? dialog appears.
Reverting a snapshot returns the virtual machine's memory (if selected when the snapshot was
created), settings, and virtual disks to the state they were in when the snapshot was created.
a.
(Optional) Click to select Do not power on after revert to suppress powering on the virtual
machine after reverting to a snapshot. If the snapshot does not include memory state, the
VM will be powered off and this option has no effect.
b. Click Revert to complete the request, or Cancel to cancel the action.
Adding and removing network interfaces to provisioned services
You can add or remove network interfaces to a VM server group of a previously provisioned service
using the server action menu from the Services or My Services tab in the GUI. These operations
are not supported for physical servers, cloud servers, trunk networks, or deactivated servers.
NOTE: You can also use the API/CLI to perform these operations. For more information, see the
HP CloudSystem Matrix/Matrix Operating Environment Integration Interfaces API and CLI Operations
Reference Guide available at http://www.hp.com/go/matrixoe/docs.
By default, only Administrators can add network interfaces. Users must have administrator access,
or be granted special access by setting the allow.user.add.network.interface property
to true in the hpio.properties file. When an IP assignment type of STATIC or AUTOMATIC
is specified, IO manages the allocation of IP addresses, but manual operations are required to
configure the guest OS to use them.
By default, only Administrators can remove network interfaces. Users must have administrator
access, or be granted special access by setting the allow.user.remove.network.interface
property to true in the hpio.properties file. The network interface for the primary network
cannot be removed. Network interfaces connected to boot networks cannot be removed by default;
the allow.user.remove.boot.network.interface property must be set to true in the
hpio.properties
file to allow removal of network interfaces connected to boot networks.
CAUTION: Removing a network interface connected to a boot network has security considerations
because it may prevent the scrubbing of disks.
Attaching physical disks to virtual servers
Matrix infrastructure orchestration allows you to map physical disks to virtual machine hosts
supporting ESX, Hyper-V, and HP Integrity VM hypervisors. HP recommends creating user-defined
portability groups in Matrix OE logical server management and then configuring virtual machine
hosts that contain physical disks to be mapped to virtual servers into the user-defined portability
groups. HP also recommends creating RDM-based Storage Pool Entries (SPE) in the user-defined
portability groups so that IO can allocate or reserve resources from the same Portability Group.
You can also use storage tags to guide IO during allocation or reservation to correctly identify
RDM-based SPEs. This means that the virtual machine hosts will be part of only two Portability
Groups, the default portability and a user portability group.
