Server workflows for HP Matrix Operating Environment

16
A sample inventoryList.xml file is listed below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ROOT xmlns="http://model.server.com">
<NodeList>
<nodeAttributes>
<handle>37393434-3836-5532-5838-343130384152</handle>
<uuid>37393434-3836-5532-5838-343130384152</uuid>
</nodeAttributes>
<nodeAttributes>
<handle>38313933-3533-5355-4538-32304E334151</handle>
<uuid>38313933-3533-5355-4538-32304E334151</uuid>
</nodeAttributes>
<nodeAttributes>
<handle>37393434-3836-5532-5838-343130384150</handle>
<uuid>37393434-3836-5532-5838-343130384150</uuid>
</nodeAttributes>
</NodeList>
</ROOT>
Note: The output of this workflow must adhere to esa-server-model-1.0.xsd available under C:\Program
Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment\esa\etc\xsd
In the example above, 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.
Important: The <uuid/> muar be expressed in the canonical form shown above. The canonical form is 32
hexadecimal digits represented as 5 hyphen-separated groups in the form of:
8-4-4-4-12 or xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
comprising a total of 36 characters (32 hexadecimal digits and 4 hyphens). If this standard is not followed for all
UUIDs within both the inventoryList.xml file and the serverInfo.xml file, Matrix OE will not be able to successfully
manage the servers contained by the server inventory.
