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 in Virtualization Manager

Modify <Root Drive>:\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, it is necessary to 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 <Root Drive>:\Program Files\
HP\Insight Orchestration\esa_extensions\server

•

<Root Drive>:\Program Files\HP\Insight Orchestration\esa_extensions\

server \inventoryList.xml

“inventoryList.xml” contains a high level listing of all servers that sufaces as inventory
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 shot from OO Studio shows the reference workflow which reads the
“inventoryList.xml” file:
