HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.2 Update 1 Infrastructure Orchestration User Guide

IMPORTANT: If you configured secondary CMSs for use in a federated CMS environment, ensure
that each SAN storage volume is managed by only one HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM).
A storage array can be shared by multiple SPMs.
HP recommends that you select the HP Matrix Default Storage Template and, optionally, define
additional attributes when configuring physical storage in a service template.
Each CMS contains its own HP Matrix Default Storage Template, and these templates are
independent of each other. The default storage template shown in infrastructure orchestration
designer is the default storage template on the primary CMS. However, storage auto-provisioning
is based on the template found on the CMS that deploys the template.
If you do not select the HP Matrix Default Storage Template and instead select a user-defined
storage template, the same SPM server is used for all volume definitions. If a SAN storage volume
is managed by multiple SPMs or CMSs, unpredictable results can occur.
Configuring HP Operations Orchestration
The HP Operations Orchestration engine is embedded in Matrix Operating Environment. Using
HP Operations Orchestration Studio, you can create custom workflow processes and attach them
to infrastructure service templates at well-defined points in the IO provisioning process, such as
during pre- and post-provisioning of infrastructure components.
Matrix infrastructure orchestration defines integration points for Operations Orchestration workflows
that run each time a specific operation is invoked, regardless of the template or infrastructure
service involved in the operation. Matrix infrastructure orchestration provides basic or sample
Operations Orchestration workflows for some of these operations; however, it also allows for the
modification or creation of new workflows for these operations to allow the integration of
infrastructure orchestration into the business processes.
Template architects can associate one or more Operations Orchestration workflows with a particular
template. These workflows can run before or after a particular lifecycle operation allowing the
corresponding adjustment of the target server.
For more information about Operations Orchestration, see the Operations Orchestration software
guides on the following website:

Configuring Operations Orchestration system properties
Operations Orchestration is installed automatically in new installations of Matrix Operating
Environment, and in upgrades from Insight Dynamics 6.3 or later to Matrix OE 7.2.
After an installation or upgrade, verify that all Operations Orchestration system properties are set
correctly.
1. To launch Operations Orchestration, select Start→All Programs→Hewlett-Packard→Operations
Orchestration→HP Operations Orchestration Studio.
A login prompt appears.
2. Log in to the Operations Orchestration administrator account using the following credentials:
• User name: admin
• Password: the Insight Management service account password specified during the
installation
If the Insight Management service account password is subsequently changed using the Systems
Insight Manager Reconfigure CMS Tools (mxreconfig), the changed Insight Management
service account password is not reflected in Operations Orchestration Studio and database.
Manually change the Operations Orchestration Studio and database passwords as described
