HP Matrix Operating Environment Software - Manual (Page 96)

During this operation, infrastructure orchestration:
•
Validates the request for a new lease period
•
Modifies servers (server blades or virtual machine hosts) allocation for a new lease period
•
Modifies network and IP addresses allocation for a new lease period
•
Modifies disk allocation for a new lease period
•
Obtains approval to extend a lease
NOTE: Reducing a lease period does not require approval.
•
Executes custom actions
•
Sends notifications
After successfully completing a Change Lease Period operation, infrastructure orchestration modifies
the lease period for the infrastructure and updates the allocation of each resource for the new lease
period. If a resource is not available or an administrator rejects the request, the Change Lease
Period operation fails.
When a lease on an infrastructure service expires, infrastructure orchestration deactivates the
service. This action preserves all the logical servers in the service, and retains all resource allocations
except for physical servers, which are freed for other uses. Deactivating a service is the default
policy for handling a lease expiration. The administrator can change this policy to:
•
ignore the lease expiration
•
de-provision the infrastructure service on lease expiration
The lease end policy can be changed in the ..\Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure
orchestration\conf\hpio.properties
file.
# Specifies the lease period end policy.
# Acceptable values (not case sensitive):
# - Ignore = Simply ignore the lease period ending.
# - Delete = Deletes the infrastructure. This cancels all pending and in-progress requests.
# - Deactivate = Deactivates all infrastructure's resources. This cancels all pending and in-progress requests.
Matrix infrastructure orchestration sends email notifications to the service owner one week and
one day prior to a lease expiration. For an expired service that is running or deactivated,
infrastructure orchestration sends email notification once a week after the expiration, until the lease
is extended or the service is deleted. These notification time periods are configured in the ..\
Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure orchestration\conf\hpio.properties
file.
# In *minutes*, when to send the first and the second lease ending notification
# emails and the frequency on which the expired notifications will be sent.
lease.ending.notification.email.first=10080
lease.ending.notification.email.second=1440
lease.expired.notification.email=10080
Edit virtual servers operation
To modify the number of processors and memory size of a virtual machine after a service is created,
use the Edit Virtual Servers operation. This operation is not available for Integrity VMs, and for
virtual machines provisioned to a cloud provider.
NOTE: The number of processors and memory size per server, as well as the selected networks,
and IP address assignment types of server group and network connections also can be changed
when a service is created. To change these values, check Customizable on the template, and
specify the proper format (shown when you hover your mouse over the field) in the Custom Attributes
field on the infrastructure orchestration console Create Service dialog. See
“Customizing template
attributes when a service is created” (page 117) for more information.
