Extensible Server & Storage Adapter

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

Operations Orchestration, as used in ESA, is in an embedded form called the OO engine. The
OO engine defines and utilizes the work flows for extending the storage and servers features of
Insight software. OO is a system for creating and using actions in structured sequences (ops
flows) that maintain, troubleshoot, repair, and provision the IT resources of the datacenter.

For information about configuring ESA, see

“Configuring Extensible Server & Storage Adapter

(ESA)” (page 57)
