Configuring Extensible Server & Storage Adapter (ESA)

ESA provides storage provisioning and server operations for logical servers and HP Insight
Orchestration.

NOTE:

The HP Logical Server Automation Windows service depends on the HP Extensible

Storage & Server Adapter Windows service. The HP Extensible Storage & Server Adapter
Windows service must be running before the HP Logical Server Automation Windows service
is started or restarted.

If the HP Logical Server Automation Windows service is started before starting the HP Extensible
Storage & Server Adapter Windows service, any attempted HP Extensible Storage & Server
Adapter operations will result in HP Systems Insight Manager login token unavailable errors.
To correct this situation, restart the HP Extensible Storage & Server Adapter Windows service
and then restart the HP Logical Server Automation Windows service.

ESA is installed and configured with Insight Dynamics. This section includes ESA configuration
details, so that you can change the default configuration if it is required in your environment.

For more information about ESA, see

“Extensible Server & Storage Adapter” (page 64)

. For more

information about HP Operations Orchestration, see

www.hp.com/go/OO

.

ESA configuration is stored in a property file called esa.properties, included in the
${Install_Path}\Virtual Server Environment\conf

directory. The parameters that

you can configure include:

Operations Orchestration system IP address

Operations Orchestration username and credentials

Operations Orchestration replytoURI

This is URI to which OO posts the results of the workflow. This value is passed to the
workflow as an input parameter.

Workflow path

For example, in the workflow path ESA/Get Server Info, ESA is the folder name and
Get Server Info

is the flow name.

Following is an example ESA properties file.

#
