HP Insight Orchestration 6.0 User Guide

When executing the operation, Insight Orchestration:
• Validates the request
• Powers off the servers
• Deletes the virtual machine or server blade profile
• Scrubs the boot and data disks
• Deallocates the servers (server blades and virtual machine hosts)
• Deallocates the networks and IP addresses
• Deallocates the boot and data disks
• Executes custom actions
• Sends notifications
After successfully completing a Delete operation, the Insight Orchestration infrastructure service is destroyed,
deprovisioning all server, network, and storage resources making them available for new Create Service,
Add servers to group, and Add data disk to group operations.
If deprovisioning fails, the infrastructure service is still deleted. When this occurs, the Insight Orchestration
administrator must manually clean up the servers or disks.
Add server to group operation
During an Add server to group operation, Insight Orchestration:
• Validates the request
• Allocates the servers (server blades or virtual machine hosts)
• Allocates IP addresses
• Allocates the boot disk (physical and virtual)
• Obtains approval
• Creates virtual machine or blade server profile
• Deploys the operating system and other software to boot disk
• Configures the virtual hardware
• Customizes the operating system (networking, sysprep)
• Allocates the physical data disks
• Provisions the servers for data disks
• Boots the servers
• Executes custom actions
• Sends notifications
After successfully completing the operation, Insight Orchestration provisions the additional servers into the
Insight Orchestration infrastructure service, and they are available for the duration of the service lease period.
You can access the new servers through the network.
The operation fails when:
• Resources are not available to allocate
• SAN administrator cannot create the disks
• Insight Orchestration administrator rejects the request
