Operations Orchestration workflows
The standard Insight Dynamics solution provides out-of-the-box support for HP BladeSystem c-Class
servers using Virtual Connect and the HP EVA storage solution (which can be bundled as part of
HP BladeSystem Matrix). Insight Dynamics is able to gather information regarding servers and
perform power operations through Virtual Connect. Insight Dynamics is able to gather information
regarding storage and, when used in conjunction with the HP Storage Provisioning Manager,
perform operations such as changing hostmode and LUN masking via SMI-S. In addition to this
out-of-the-box support, Insight Dynamics supported servers and storage can be extended via HP
Operations Orchestration (OO) workflows. The Insight Dynamics solution for infrastructure
orchestration includes reference implementations of OO workflows for both servers and storage.
•
The server workflows included with Insight Dynamics include support for ProLiant and Integrity
iLO2 or later servers not using Virtual Connect, and can be customized for other HP server
types as appropriate.
•
The storage workflows included with Insight Dynamics include support for XP arrays. The
workflows demonstrate use of the XP CLI and can be customized for other storage types (for
example, EMC) or other means of interacting with storage (for example, SMI-S versus CLI).
