HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.2 Update 1 Infrastructure Orchestration User Guide

The “inventoryList.xml” file is read from the file system and its contents are then sent directly

to the ESA web service. The ESA web service processes the returned XML document and hands it

back to logical server management (LSM), which functions as the upper level inventory manager.

LSM then makes a second workflow call for each server.

serverInfo.xml

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

esa_extensions\server\serverInfo.xml contains a detailed definition for each of the

servers declared in the inventoryList.xml file. The following example is a definition for an

HP rack mount server. The <handle/> and <uuid/> elements tie this entry back to the

inventoryList.xml file and must match.

The <localStorageList/> element is used to declare a single direct attach boot disk that is 68 GB

in size.

The <networkInterfaceList/> element is used to declare the set of one or more NICs for the server.

It is critical that both the <macAddress/> and the <networkInterfaceName/> be correctly specified.

Specifically, the <networkInterfaceName/> corresponds to a named network from the infrastructure

orchestration Networks tab. This declares which named network the NIC is attached to within the

data center.

<serverName>MyDLRackMount</serverName>
