HP Insight Orchestration 6.3 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 Virtualization Manager

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 Insight Orchestration

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

Orchestration\esa_extensions\server.

..\Program Files\HP\Insight Orchestration\esa_extensions\server\

inventoryList.xml

The file 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:
