The SCMB is an interface that uses asynchronous messaging to notify subscribers of changes to
managed resources—both logical and physical. For example, you can program applications to
receive notifications when new server hardware is added to the managed environment or when
the health status of physical resources changes—without having to continuously poll the appliance
for status using the REST APIs.
For more information about the SCMB, see “Using the State-Change Message Bus (SCMB)”
(page 215) .
1.11 Convenient licensing model
HP OneView provides a convenient and flexible licensing model:
•
Purchasing HP OneView integrated with your hardware provides the best experience—a fully
automatic approach to license redemption and registration. Your software license for HP
OneView and iLO Advanced is delivered embedded in the hardware you purchase, including
these options:
◦ A license bundle for 16 servers embedded in the enclosure Onboard Administrator.
◦ A license for a single server embedded in the server iLO.
When you add hardware with an embedded license to the appliance, the appliance
automatically applies the license. Your software license is also automatically registered for
support when the hardware is registered.
•
You can also purchase and activate licenses separately, enabling you to add licenses for
existing hardware.
•
If you already have an iLO Advanced license for a server, you can purchase an HP OneView
license that does not include the iLO Advanced license.
The appliance stores licenses in a pool and applies licenses to server hardware as needed. You
can view information about the number of licenses available, the number of licensed servers, and
the number of servers that require a license.
1.12 Networking features
The HP OneView appliance provides several networking features to streamline the provisioning
of networking resources for server blades and to manage configuration changes, including firmware
updates, to Virtual Connect interconnect modules.
Supported networks
The Virtual Connect interconnect modules in enclosures support the following types of data center
networks:
•
Ethernet for data networks.
•
Fibre Channel for storage networks, including Fibre Channel fabric attach (SAN switch)
connections, and Fibre Channel direct attach (Flat SAN) connections to supported HP 3PAR
storage systems.
