HP Insight Virtualization Manager 6.3 Software with Logical Server Management User Guide

Configuring Extensible Server & Storage Adapter (ESA)
ESA provides storage provisioning and server operations for logical servers and HP Insight
Orchestration.
ESA is installed and configured with Insight Dynamics. This section includes ESA configuration
details, so that you can change the default configuration if it is required in your environment.
Configuring Operations Orchestration credentials in ESA
For ESA to invoke OO workflows (for either server or storage workflows), it is necessary to configure
the OO credentials. The assumption is that OO and ESA are installed on same CMS (Central
Management Server). You must update the OO password and restart ESA service from the Windows
service console.
Open the esa.properties file, located in C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server
Environment\conf. Change the following and restart the ESA service from the Windows service
console.
##OO - Configuration
#
esa.oo.admin.password=<oo password>
After ESA is installed as part of Insight Dynamics, the WSDL is available at http://
localhost:52000/esa/services/serverservice?wsdl. The XSD file
(esa-server-model-1.0.xsd) can be found at C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server
Environment\esa\etc\xsd\esa-server-model-1.0.xsd.
For more information about HP Operations Orchestration and ESA, see the Server and Storage
Workflows for HP Insight Dynamics white paper at www.hp.com/go/insightdynamics/docs.
ESA configuration is stored in a property file called esa.properties, included in the C:\
Program Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment\conf directory. The parameters that
you can configure include:
• Operations Orchestration system IP address
• Operations Orchestration username and credentials
• Operations Orchestration replytoURI
This is the URI to which OO posts the results of the workflow. This value is passed to the
workflow as an input parameter.
• Workflow path
For example, in the workflow path ESA/Get Server Info, ESA is the folder name and
Get Server Info is the flow name.
Following is an example ESA properties file.
#
### WorkFlow Details
#
#esa.oo.*.path - Indicates the path of the work flow relative to Library folder in OO.
#Valid Types: ASYNCHRONOUS, SYNCHRONOUS
#Valid Status: ENABLED, DISABLED)
#timeout value in milliseconds.
#
#SERVER WorkFlows
esa.oo.get.server.info.flow.path = Hewlett-Packard/ESA/Server/Flows/Get Server Info
esa.oo.get.server.info.flow.type = ASYNCHRONOUS
esa.oo.get.server.info.flow.status = ENABLED
esa.oo.get.server.info.flow.timeout = 60000
#
###OO - Configuration
#
#esa.oo.communication.protocol - Protocol for communicating with the OO server.
#esa.oo.admin.username - Username of OO server.
