HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.2 Update 1 Infrastructure Orchestration User Guide

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. 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.
API and CLI support
Matrix infrastructure orchestration supports an Application Programming Interface (API) and a
Command Line Interface (CLI), which is ioexec.
For each operation, the API call is specified in CamelCase, and the ioexec CLI is specified using
separate words. For example, getOrganization is the API call, while get organization is
the command.
In the SOAP API and ioexec CLI, a user name and password must be supplied.
• If the presented user name and password belong to a Windows user in the Service Provider
Administrator role, the API and CLI can operate on all services.
• For a user name and password that belong to a Windows user in the Organization
Administrator role, the API and CLI can operate only on the services owned by that
organization.
• For a user name and password that belong to a Windows user in the Architect or User roles,
the API and CLI can operate only on the services owned by that particular user.
For more information, see the HP CloudSystem Matrix/Matrix Operating Environment Integration
Interfaces API and CLI Operations Reference Guide at http://www.hp.com/go/matrixoe/docs.
The infrastructure orchestration CLI can be invoked remotely. On the remote CMS command line,
enter ioexec --help for more information.
Alternatively, invoke the CLI from the remote CMS using default connection parameters:
1. Copy the .zip file from ..\Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure
orchestration\cli to the CMS from which you want to run the CLI.
2. Copy sample-ioexec.properties to the user's home directory (for example, C:\users\
Administrator).
3. Rename sample-ioexec.properties to ioexec.properties.
4. Modify the file to specify a default host, user name, and password, and other values, if desired.
