Configuring Extensible Server & Storage Adapter (ESA)
ESA provides storage provisioning and server operations for logical servers and HP Insight
Orchestration.
ESA is installed and configured with Insight Dynamics. This section includes ESA configuration
details, so that you can change the default configuration if it is required in your environment.
For more information about ESA, see “Extensible Server & Storage Adapter” (page 84). For more
information about HP Operations Orchestration, see www.hp.com/go/OO.
The ESA service should be restarted before the Logical Server Automation (LSA) service.
ESA configuration is stored in a property file called esa.properties, included in the
${Install_Path}\Virtual Server Environment\conf directory. The parameters that
you can configure include:
• Operations Orchestration system IP address
• Operations Orchestration username and credentials
• Operations Orchestration replytoURI
This is URI to which OO posts the results of the workflow. This value is passed to the
workflow as an input parameter.
• Workflow path
For example, in the workflow path ESA/Get Server Info, ESA is the folder name and
Get Server Info is the flow name.
