Integrity VM Guest Kit installation
The HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM Guest Kit must be set up on the Ignite-UX server to properly
ignite an HP-UX guest. Create a “golden image” that includes both the appropriate operating
environment and Integrity VM Guest Kit software. Creating a “golden image” ensures you have a
properly ignited VM as part of the automatic provisioning process with infrastructure orchestration.

Configuring HP Server Automation
HP Server Automation software provides lifecycle management for enterprise servers, and automates
the deployment of applications. Matrix infrastructure orchestration 7.1 supports HP Server
Automation version 9.0.x and 9.1.x by default. If an SA core and credentials are identified during
CMS installation, the file opswclient.jar is copied from the SA core to the CMS to ensure
version compatibility.
Enter the SA core server credentials during the Insight Management installation using its IP address.
If the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is entered instead of the IP address, the SA server
must be discovered in Systems Insight Manager after installation.
NOTE:
Beginning in Matrix infrastructure orchestration 7.1, manually setting PXE boot in Virtual
Connect server blades is no longer needed for an SA deployment. By default, the PXE NIC is
moved into the first position of the Standard Boot Order (IPL).
For more information about SA, see HP Server Automation complements HP Insight Control to
manage HP BladeSystem servers and Integrating HP Server Automation with HP BladeSystem

Licensing and registration within Systems Insight Manager are not required for deployment servers,
including SA. See
“Registering deployment servers” (page 29)

an SA deployment server after infrastructure orchestration is installed.
Infrastructure orchestration requires the SA OS Build Plan Management permissions to be enabled.
If these permissions are not set, IO will not retrieve the SA software list.
