HP Insight Management 7.3 Getting Started Guide

are composed of physical and virtual servers, storage, and network resources. It automatically
provisions from a library of templates through a web-based self-service portal. It includes support
for multi-tenancy, which allows data center resources to be dynamically and securely shared among
different organizations by providing each organization with a virtual infrastructure orchestration
system. Also, Infrastructure Orchestration integrates the support for cloud providers, KVM hosts
and automates Operating Systems installations by using deployment servers, including HP Server
Automation. Infrastructure Orchestration uses an included workflow automation engine powered
by HP Operations Orchestration. HP Operations Orchestration (OO) is a system for creating
automated procedures called Ops flows and making them available to IT personnel. Ops flows
are made up of operations that each perform a specific action to maintain, diagnose, and repair
a server
HP Matrix Operating Environment recovery management
Matrix recovery management provides for automated disaster recovery of both physical and virtual
logical server environments and now supports physical to virtual failover (and back). With a simple
mouse click, it transfers application environments, running on HP BladeSystem or in virtual machines,
to a remote recovery site. It utilizes the data replication capabilities of HP storage environments to
ensure that application data is transitioned to the recovery location with the overall transition
measured in minutes, not days. Matrix recovery management is supported only on HP ProLiant
servers.
HP Storage Provisioning Manager
The HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) is a software tool that provides a service-centric
management interface to storage, allowing storage requests to be fulfilled with storage services
from a storage catalog. It securely automates storage management tasks alongside the Matrix OE
visualization software. After storage policies and storage resources are input to the storage catalog
using the SPM user interface, the HP Matrix OE logical server management can request and have
storage set up to meet server needs.
HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) Adapter for EMC Symmetrix VMAX
HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) Adapter for EMC Symmetrix VMAX provides storage
operations on EMC Symmetrix VMAX array. It supports discovering arrays, reading pool and
volume information. It also enables you to create and remove volumes, grow volumes, and view
volume presentations on a given host using the Fibre Channel interface. It also helps SPM to import
EMC volumes into the storage catalog, which is used to fulfill storage requests and services.
HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM)
HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM) for HP Integrity servers is an easy-to-use, multi-system
workload management tool to automatically move resources based on business priorities.
HP Capacity Advisor Consolidation software
HP Capacity Advisor Consolidation software addresses the need to understand resource utilization
on servers that are targeted for consolidation onto other systems. Such servers often will not be
running Matrix Operating Environment. Yet, being able to use the HP Capacity Advisor planning
facilities can greatly reduce the amount of time needed to plan a consolidation effort.
The Capacity Advisor Consolidation software provides you with a limited license to obtain data
for use in Capacity Advisor scenarios. For six months from the time the license is locked into its
assignment to a server, you can collect data to use in your consolidation planning scenarios within
Capacity Advisor.
HP Matrix KVM Private Cloud
HP Matrix KVM Private Cloud, new in Insight Management 7.2, enables the provisioning of virtual
machine instances on KVM (Linux kernel-based virtual machine) hosts in a virtual data center (a
