The following sections describe the Extensible Server and Storage Adapter (ESA) component of
the Matrix OE solution, configuration steps, and how the server workflows can be customized.
Extensible Server & Storage Adapter
Extensible Server & Storage Adapter (ESA) provides server operations for logical servers and HP
Insight Orchestration. Matrix OE includes reference implementations which can be customized for
specific environments.
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 features of Insight Management.
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 ESA to invoke OO workflows , it is necessary to configure the OO credentials. For information
about configuring ESA, see
“Configuring Extensible Servers & Storage Adapter (ESA)” (page 27)
