Environments and Scenarios White Paper at Enterprise Information Library.
Configuring Matrix OE with a remote Microsoft SQL Server database
Because Windows Single Sign On is used by Matrix OE to connect to the SQL Server
database, the credentials associated with the user account executing a command or
service are used to connect to the remote database. Therefore, user accounts used to
execute Matrix OE software that accesses the database must satisfy the following
conditions:
• The user credentials specified for the CMS access and database access during the
installation should be the same, and be trusted domain credentials available to
both the CMS and database systems.
• The user credentials specified during the installation for the database access should
have access permissions to the database.
If you run a CLI command as a user that is not a domain user or does not have database
access permission on the remote database, and the CLI command requires database
access, the command will fail.
Operations Orchestration intended usage in Matrix OE
A limited version of Operations Orchestration is included with Matrix OE. This version
of Operations Orchestration is licensed for limited uses.
Functionality
• Allows Matrix OE infrastructure orchestration to trigger Operations Orchestration
workflows for pre- and post- provisioning tasks. Examples include Create
Service/Add Server, Standby Server/Service, and Resume Server/Service.
Workflows in the limited version of Operations Orchestration included with Matrix
OE may only be triggered from the Matrix OE infrastructure orchestration interface
in relation to pre- and post- provisioning tasks. An upgrade to the full version of
Operations Orchestration allows the launch of workflows from outside of the Matrix
OE interface.
• The limited version of Operations Orchestration allows Matrix OE to be integrated
with other management software. However, this requires additional services from
HP consulting.
• The limited version of Operations Orchestration included within Matrix OE is
licensed for one author in OO Studio. Upgrades to the full version of Operations
Orchestration allow for multiple authors.
• The version of HP Operations Orchestration Central that is included in Matrix OE
may only be used for flow troubleshooting. An upgrade to the full version of
Operations Orchestration allows the use of Operations Orchestration Central to
launch and schedule the launch of Operations Orchestration workflows from outside
of Matrix OE/Insight Control.
Content
The content supplied with the limited version is a subset of the content that is available
in the full version of Operations Orchestration and is related to Infrastructure-as-a-Service
workflows. An upgrade to the full version of Operations Orchestration provides
additional content.
