The REST APIs:
•
Provide an industry-standard interface for open integration with other management platforms.
•
Are designed to be ubiquitous—every resource has one URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) and
represents a physical device or logical construct.
•
Enable you to automate anything you can do from the UI using your favorite scripting or
programming language.
•
Are designed to be highly scalable.
For more information about the REST APIs, see the REST API scripting online help.

1.9 Integration with other management software
Onboard Administrator for HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosures
HP OneView interacts seamlessly with the Onboard Administrator to provide complete management
of HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosures. Onboard Administrator privileges are determined by the
role assigned to your HP OneView user account.
HP Integrated Lights-Out
HP OneView interacts seamlessly with the iLO management processor to provide complete
management of HP server hardware. HP OneView automatically configures the iLO according to
the settings specified by the HP OneView server profile. HP OneView configures seamless access
to the iLO graphical remote console, enabling you to launch the iLO remote console from the HP
OneView UI in a single click. Your iLO privileges are determined by the role assigned to your HP
OneView appliance account.
HP Insight Control server provisioning
HP OneView server profiles enable you to configure servers for PXE boot. Insight Control server
provisioning, an optional product, can then install an OS on the server using either scripted
installation or captured image deployment.
HP OneView integration with Converged Systems for VMware vCenter
Integration with VMware vCenter is available as part of Converged Systems for VMware vCenter
version 7.4. The HP OneView integration with VMware vCenter enables:
•
Automatic monitoring, management, and provisioning of VMware vSphere hosts and clusters,
including servers, networking, and storage from a single management console
•
Rapid determination of how physical and virtual infrastructures are connected together and
the ability to rapidly identify and resolve potential problems
•
The ability to build HP OneView automation capabilities into other VMware tools or user
defined scripts using a standards-based API
1.10 Open integration
The single, consistent resource model, REST APIs, and SCMB (State-Change Message Bus) enable
you to use scripting to integrate HP OneView with other enterprise applications to address user
needs and perform tasks such as:
•
Automating standard workflows and troubleshooting steps
•
Automating integrations with other software, such as a CMDB (content management database)
