Add Virtual Server (Virtual Disk): Service Details - HPE XP7 Automation Director User Manual

◦ To use an internal network for communication between the local server and an instance, you must
first register the certificate information for the IP address to be assigned from the IP address pool to
the instance. Make sure the IP address is registered for the agentless connection-destination
definition in the [Management] tab.
◦ To use an external network for communication between the local server and an instance, you must
first register the certificate information for the IP address to be assigned from the floating IP
address pool to the instance. Make sure the IP address is registered for the agentless connection-
destination definition in the [Management] tab.
Server requirements
To use this service template, the following servers are required:
• OpenStack server -- A server on which OpenStack is installed.
• KVM server -- A server on which Kernel-based Virtual Machine is installed.
• OpenStack control server -- A server that runs the REST API on the OpenStack server.
• Instance -- An instance that is managed by the OpenStack server or by KVM. A general virtual server.
Usage guidelines
• Do not operate an instance during instance startup. If you do, instance startup might fail. In addition,
do not directly operate an instance from the OpenStack server.
• To use an external network for communication with the local server, select yes from the list for the
property openstack.floatingIpOption. If you select no, the task terminates abnormally because the
local server cannot access the instance.
• If you select yes from the list for the property openstack.floatingIpOption, make sure to specify the
property openstack.networkNameExt. If you omit the property openstack.networkNameExt, the task
terminates abnormally, because the external network from which the floating IP address is obtained
cannot be identified.
• If you select https from the list for the property openstack.protocol, make sure the certificate for the
OpenStack server is a public certificate. If it is not a public certificate, the task terminates abnormally
because the authenticity of the certificate cannot be verified.
• If the instance OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS 5, you might be unable to set America,
North_Dakota, or Beulah for the time zone. Before setting America, North_Dakota, or Beulah for the
time zone, check whether they can be set for the instance OS.
