HP Insight Orchestration 6.0 User Guide

inventory and for performing basic power control. Several server types and configurations may integrate

into Insight Orchestration using ESA in Insight Dynamics.

• Non-HP servers

• HP rack mount servers

• HP c-Class blades (not managed by Virtual Connect)

For each of the server types referenced above, the following storage configurations are supported:

Boot Disk

• A SAN (Fiber Channel) attached disk

• A local (direct attached) disk. If using an on-board RAID controller, only a single logical volume is

supported.

Data Disk(s)

▲ One or more SAN (Fiber Channel) attached disks

The included reference workflow for controller server power supports the following server management

processors:

• ProLiant iLO2

• Integrity iLO2

• Dell iDRAC and DRAC5

NOTE: The Operations Orchestration workflow authoring tool (OO Studio) may be used to extend the

functionality of the reference workflow to support additional management processors are required.

Configuring ESA in Virtualization Manager

Modify <Root Drive>:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server

Environment\conf\esa.properties to include the Operations Orchestration 'Admin' password:

esa.oo.admin.password=<your-oo-admin-password>

After making the changes to the esa.properties file, it is necessary to restart the HP Extensible Storage

& Server Adapter Windows service for the changes to take effect.

Using the heterogeneous server reference workflows with Insight Orchestration

The reference workflows are driven by three data files in <Root Drive>:\Program Files\HP\Insight

Orchestration\esa_extensions\server.

• <Root Drive>:\Program Files\HP\Insight Orchestration\esa_extensions\server

\inventoryList.xml

“inventoryList.xml” contains a high level listing of all servers that sufaces as inventory through

ESA. The following example of a single server entry shows the format. In this case, a UUID is used for

both the <handle/> and the <uuid/> elements. This is the recommended form. Typically, the UUID is

directly extracted from the managed server or from a centralized configuration management database

(CMDB) within the data center.
