HPE offers extensions to Microsoft Windows Azure Pack that allow Cloud Cruiser charges to display in the Windows Azure Pack management portals for administrators and tenants. HPE periodically releases updates to these extensions to fix bugs and enhance functionality. If some time has elapsed between your installation of Windows Azure Pack and your installation of Cloud Cruiser, you should make sure you have the latest versions of the extensions installed.
To view cost data from Cloud Cruiser in the Windows Azure Pack portals, you must install Cloud Cruiser extensions in the Windows Azure Pack Admin Site, Tenant Site, and Usage API computers. You might have already installed them as part of your Windows Azure Pack installation. The Windows Azure Pack Admin Site, Tenant Site, and Usage API can be deployed on one, two, or three computers. The following diagram shows where to install Cloud Cruiser's Admin Site Extension and Tenant Site Extension in each of these deployment architectures.
Make sure your Windows Azure Pack data source points to the Usage API computer, not the Admin Site computer. Cloud Cruiser collects data from the Usage API.
If one of these computers does not have Internet access, see the knowledge base article Installing Azure Pack extensions without Internet access.
To install the latest extensions for Windows Azure Pack
Installed
, you already have the latest version installed, and if both are installed you are finished with this procedure. Otherwise, click Add to add the extension to the installation queue.After installing the extensions on the admin site, connect it to the Cloud Cruiser server by registering the Cloud Cruiser REST API endpoint.
To enable the display of costs in Windows Azure Pack
<ccServerURL>/rest/v2/wap
, where <ccServerURL>
is the URL to your Cloud Cruiser Portal. For example:http://cloudfinanceserver:8080/rest/v2/wap
.You can now view tenant costs from the Summary and Reports pages. Online help is available from those pages.
In addition to the views of costs for all tenants available in the Windows Azure Pack management portal for administrators, you can also enable tenants to view their own costs in the management portal for tenants. This visibility can often encourage tenants to use cloud services more judiciously.
A tenant can only see costs for their own account, not for other tenant accounts.
Before you begin
You must enable viewing in the management portal for administrators as described in, Displaying costs in the Windows Azure Pack admin portal.
To allow tenants to view costs
Tenants of the plans you modified can now view their costs from the My Costs menu item available in the navigation pane of the management portal for tenants. Online help is available from within My Costs.
If after performing this procedure you click the Cloud Cruiser service in the Plan Services list of any plan, you receive the message Failed to load configuration for service 'Cloud Cruiser'.
This is normal. There is nothing to configure for this service, so the message does not indicate that anything is wrong.
