HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.2 Update 1 Infrastructure Orchestration User Guide

NOTE: The Operations Orchestration workflow authoring tool (OO Studio) may be used to extend

the functionality of the reference workflow to support additional management processors as required.

Configuring ESA password in Matrix OE visualization

Modify ..\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment\conf\esa.properties

to include the Operations Orchestration 'Admin' password:

esa.oo.admin.password=<your-oo-admin-password>

After making the changes to the esa.properties file, restart the HP Extensible Storage & Server

Adapter Windows service for the changes to take effect.

Using the heterogeneous server reference workflows with infrastructure orchestration

This is a basic overview of how Operations Orchestration and ESA are used to provide inventory

and power control access for non-Virtual Connect managed servers. The reference implementation

may be used as is, or it may be replaced by extending the workflows to obtain the server inventory

from another source within the data center. In addition, the power control workflows may be

extended to other server management processor types.

The reference workflows are driven by three data files in ..\Program Files\HP\Matrix

infrastructure orchestration\esa_extensions\server.

inventoryList.xml

The file ..\Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure orchestration\

esa_extensions\server\inventoryList.xml contains a high level listing of all servers

that are inventoried through ESA. The following example of a single server entry shows the format.

In this case, 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.

The following screen in OO Studio shows the reference workflow which reads the

“inventoryList.xml” file:
