HP Matrix Operating Environment Software - Manual (Page 28)

Configuring deployment servers
Matrix infrastructure orchestration supports the following server deployment platforms for
provisioning:
•
Insight Control server deployment (physical provisioning)
•
Ignite-UX (physical and virtual provisioning)
•
HP Server Automation (SA) (physical and virtual provisioning)
Registering deployment servers
The host IP address and credentials for the deployment servers used by infrastructure orchestration
must be entered during infrastructure orchestration installation.
The Insight Management Installer does not allow selection of both Insight Control server deployment
and HP Server Automation (SA) when configuring infrastructure orchestration with server deployment
options. However, infrastructure orchestration can be configured to use both deployment servers,
but this configuration must be done after installation is complete.
If you want to add a deployment server after infrastructure orchestration is installed, enter the
following commands on the CMS:
NOTE: If you copy and paste these commands, be sure to enter the dash (minus) key. In some
cases, copying and pasting results in characters that appear to be the same but are incorrect.
•
Insight Control server deployment
mxnodesecurity –a –p dsc_rdp –c username:password -t on -n <ipaddress
of server deployment server>
•
Ignite-UX
mxnodesecurity –a –p dsc_ignite –c username:password -t on -n
<ipaddress of Ignite server>
•
HP Server Automation (SA):
mxnodesecurity –a –p dsc_sas –c username:password -t on -n <ipaddress
of HP Server Automation server>
Configuring Insight Control server deployment
Creating server deployment job folders
Create Insight Control server deployment job folders for each operating system that infrastructure
orchestration uses to deploy physical servers.
NOTE: ESXi deployment is not supported in Matrix infrastructure orchestration 7.0 using Insight
Control server deployment.
1. Create a top-level Insight Control server deployment job folder for each operating system.
Right-click in the empty space of the Jobs panel and select New Folder from the list.
2. Rename the new folder, for example, HPIO RHEL54 BL BFS.
3. Copy the Deploy ProLiant System Configuration (BL BFS) job from the HP
Deployment Toolbox/2
→Hardware Configuration folder, and paste it into the new folder.
4. OS jobs can be found under OS Installation
→Hardware Configuration (or under HP Deployment
Toolbox/3B
→OS Imaging if customized OS images were already captured); HP management
