Scan for HP-UX licenses
From a CMS, use the Scan for HP-UX Licenses task to perform the following functions:
• Enable the HP Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX licenses that are included in the HP-UX
Operating Environments.
• Migrate unused licenses that were purchased for an earlier release to the HP SIM License
Manager database and apply them to your managed systems (if permitted by your licensing
agreement with HP).
To launch this task from the License Manager, click Scan for HP-UX Licenses... on the last Deploy:
HP Matrix OE for Integrity Licenses screen. On the Task Confirmation screen, click Run Now. Online
help is available to guide you through the operation.
This task scans for licenses for any VSE Management Software or Matrix OE for Integrity LTU that
is installed on the managed systems. It is not restricted to the type of license that was originally
selected in License Manager. It only discovers licenses on HP-UX systems, even if other types of
systems were included in the License Manager system selection. For more information about
scanning for HP-UX licenses and migrating unused licenses from earlier software versions, see
“Command reference” (page 51).
Using the CMS password reconfigure tool
The CMS reconfigure tool provides a command that enables you to quickly change passwords for
a large number of licensed systems at once. For information on the CMS reconfigure tool and how
to use the command with the Matrix OE, see the HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide at http://
www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/sim/docs.
Matrix OE public cloud managed instance licenses
Public cloud instances, along with on-premise systems, are part of the Matrix OE managed
environment, and must be licensed accordingly. Once licensed, public cloud instances can also
be supported as part of the Matrix OE managed infrastructure. Public cloud managed instance
licenses are required in order to take advantage of Matrix OE public cloud bursting capabilities.
Public cloud bursting
Public cloud bursting is a feature of HP CloudSystem that enables enterprises to broker service
delivery across multiple clouds from a single, integrated point of control. With CloudSystem,
bursting enterprises can design, catalog, provision, control, and monitor infrastructure services
uniformly across complex hybrid cloud environments. As a result, businesses can more easily,
safely, and cost effectively supplement internal resources with public cloud resources to meet extra
capacity demands, to extend geographic reach, or to leverage specialized infrastructure service
offerings.
CloudSystem currently supports the following public cloud services:
• HP Cloud Compute Services
• Amazon EC2 Web Services
• Savvis Virtual Private Data Center (VPDC) services
