HP Operations Orchestration limited license
Matrix OE comes with a version of Operations Orchestration that is licensed for limited uses. It is
launched from Matrix infrastructure orchestration and used to trigger workflows that can be
performed before or after IO operations.
This restricted version of operations orchestration:
• Is licensed for only one author. An upgrade to the full version of operations orchestration
allows for multiple authors.
• Can only be used for pre- and post-provisioning workflows and workflow troubleshooting. An
upgrade to the full version of operations orchestration allows you to schedule the launch of
operations orchestration workflows outside of Matrix OE.
• Provides a subset of the content that is available in the full version of operations orchestration.
This subset is related to Infrastructure-as-a-Service workflows. An upgrade to the full version
of the software provides additional content.
• Allows Matrix OE to be integrated with other management software. However, this requires
additional services from HP consulting.
License requirements for managed systems with Instant Capacity products
For systems using Instant Capacity products (including iCAP, GiCAP, and TiCAP), the total number
of licenses assigned across all nPartitions within the complex (or across multiple complexes when
using GiCAP) must be equal to or greater than the total number of processors that you have
purchased.
Managed system trial licenses
The following trial licenses are available:
• When Matrix OE is installed on the CMS, 10 trial licenses for HP Matrix OE for Integrity are
included in the License Manager database. These licenses can be applied to HP Integrity and
HP 9000 systems. Each trial license is valid for 90 days after it is applied to a managed
system. To continue to manage these systems beyond the trial period, you must purchase
permanent licenses.
These trial licenses can be applied to managed systems by the Insight managed system setup
wizard or by the vselicense command. They cannot be applied through HP SIM License
Manager. For information about the managed system setup wizard, see “Recommended
process: Use the managed system setup wizard” (page 23). For information about
vselicense, see “Command reference” (page 51).
• Matrix OE trial licenses for 10 managed systems can be obtained by registering with HP. To
obtain these trial licenses, contact your HP sales representative, your HP services representative,
or your authorized HP reseller.
You can view the status of your trial licenses using the HP SIM License Manager. For information
about License Manager, see “Alternative process: Use HP SIM License Manager” (page 23).
