HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 Update 1 Installation and Configuration Guide for Provisioning with Virtual Resources

8 Configuring integration with deployment servers

Matrix infrastructure orchestration supports the following server deployment platforms for

provisioning:

• Insight Control server provisioning (physical and virtual provisioning)

• Insight Control server deployment (physical provisioning)

• Ignite-UX (physical and virtual provisioning)

• HP Server Automation (SA) (physical and virtual provisioning)

The host IP address and credentials for the deployment servers used by infrastructure orchestration

may have been entered during infrastructure orchestration installation in Chapter 4. Alternatively,

configure the IP address and credentials after installation is complete as described in this section.

IMPORTANT: Validate that your deployment server environment is functioning correctly and able

to deploy your required operating systems to a virtual machine prior to integrating with Matrix

OE. For more information on how to configure the HP Server Automation server in preparation for

use with Matrix OE, see the white paper Integrating HP Server Automation with HP BladeSystem

Matrix/Insight Dynamics available at Enterprise Information Library.

Registering deployment servers

If you want to add a deployment server after infrastructure orchestration is installed, first ping the

server to ensure it is reachable from the CMS and then enter the following commands on the CMS:

NOTE: If you copy and paste these commands, be sure to enter the dash (minus) key. In some

cases, copying and pasting results in characters that appear to be the same but are incorrect.

• Insight Control server deployment

mxnodesecurity –a –p dsc_rdp –c username:password -t on -n <ipaddress

of server deployment server>

• Ignite-UX

mxnodesecurity –a –p dsc_ignite –c username:password -t on -n

• HP Server Automation (SA) or Insight Control server provisioning

mxnodesecurity –a –p dsc_sas –c username:password -t on -n <ipaddress

of HP Server Automation server>

For more information on configuring deployment servers, see “Configuring deployment servers”

in the HP Matrix Operating Environment Infrastructure Orchestration User Guide available from

the Enterprise Information Library at Enterprise Information Library.

NOTE:

In the following chapters, remember to configure the networks used by these deployment servers

as a “Boot Network”
