HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 and 7.3 Update 1 Infrastructure Orchestration User Guide

If you purchase Matrix OE as a standalone system, you must obtain a Matrix OE Public Cloud
Managed Instance license to provision a public cloud instance. This license allows you to manage
one public cloud instance hosted at an HP-supported public cloud service provider for a term of
one year from the date of registration. Multiple licenses can be used together under a concurrent
use model. (For example, if you purchase 10 licenses, you can manage up to 10 public cloud
instances at any one time.) Public cloud managed instance licenses are not tied to a particular
service provider. You can use the same license to manage an instance at one service provider
today and at another tomorrow, as long as the license is not used for both instances at the same
time.
Whether you purchase Matrix OE in CloudSystem Enterprise or as a standalone system, licenses
are not required in either case when you are provisioning servers to HP CloudSystem Foundation
or to another Matrix OE system.
For details on licensing, contact your HP sales representative.
Configuring infrastructure orchestration users in Windows
The Insight Management Installer adds the user who performed the installation to the
HPIO_Administrators group.
To integrate Active Directory with Insight Management:
1. Ensure that the server hosting the CMS belongs to the Active Directory domain (not a
workgroup).
2. Create a non-administrator user in Active Directory that will be used to run all Insight
Management services.
3. Give that Active Directory user Admin privileges on the CMS.
4. Install the Insight Management DVD on the CMS as this Active Directory user.
• To add local users to infrastructure orchestration user groups, use computer management or
administrative tools. For example, in Windows Server 2008, select Start→Administrative
Tools→Computer Management, and expand Local Users and Groups.
• To add Active Directory users and groups to infrastructure orchestration user groups, use
computer management or administrative tools. For example, in Windows Server 2008, select
Start→Programs→Administrative Tools, and expand Active Directory Users and Computers.
Matrix infrastructure orchestration roles
There are three infrastructure orchestration roles at the service provider level. These classes are
represented as Windows user groups.
• HPIO_Users
Can log in to infrastructure orchestration self service portal
(https://<cms-name-or-ip>:51443/hpio/portal) and initiate requests for provisioning
using published templates. These requests require approval from an adminstrator.
• HPIO_Architects
Have the privileges of the HPIO_Users group, and can access the infrastructure orchestration
designer (https://<cms-name-or-ip>:51443/hpio/designer) to create, modify,
and publish templates.
• HPIO_Administrators
Have the privileges of the HPIO_Architects group. Can initiate requests without requiring
approval; modify infrastructure orchestration configuration items; configure networks and
pools; grant users access to existing resources; and approve, reject, continue, or cancel
requests.
Can access the infrastructure orchestration console through Systems Insight Manager.
