When Insight Orchestration Designer opens there will be a blank template, if you dont see a blank template just click on the new button. To add components just drag and drop each component onto the template The HP logical server capability enables physical and virtual servers to be easily provisioned and freely moved. All logical servers can be managed in the same way, whether they are deployed as physical servers or virtual machines. A logical server profile contains everything that the OS and application stack require to operate -- a system image including the OS, application and boot data; configuration requirements like processors and memory; and unique identifiers such as MAC addresses and WW names. We will create a physical server deployment template first. Drag one Network component, one Physical Server Group component, and one Physical Storage component on to the blank template.

Right click on the Server Icon to configure the server group. Add cost per server, Number of servers to be initially created (select 1), Processors per server (Select 2), Memory per server (Select 2 GB), and make sure the Processor Architecture is set to x86 64, keep thee remaining defaults. When the end user requests a service based on this template the request process will select a resource from the server pool that meets the minimum requirements specified in the template. *** Note: if you select more than 1 server, this Cloud Map Template would deploy 2 or more identical servers that can be clustered
Slide 21
21
Select the Network tab, you need to enter a hostname ending with a # sign. The # sign is used as a variable in the template that will be substituted when the end user submits a request. In the Assignment Type drop down box select DHCP. For our setup we are using DHCP, but other options are Static or Automatic. Using a static IP address will create a one time use template, Automatic will select a static IP address from a range of static IP addresses set for the specified network. (For the hostname use your team number and PHY for example, team01 host name would be TEAM01PHY#)
Slide 22
22
Select the Software tab and choose the software to be installed, dont forget to select the OS type, once done select OK.
Slide 23
Storage Configuration

The Template tab contains a list of Cloud Map templates the end user can use to request a service (Servers, Storage, Networks, Software) By default all users have access to all templates, you can enable template level security and assign permission for users and groups to specific templates. INFO ONLY. Please do not edit the file! To enable template level security you have to edit the hpio.properties file (Default Location is c:\Program Files\HP\Insight Orchestration\conf) and change the line template.access.restricted = false to true. This does not require restarting the service, but you do have to log out and back into the Portal.
Slide 47
Creating a Service
47
To create a service select the Physical Server template you created earlier and click on the Create Service button.
Slide 48
Creating a Service

When the Request Submitted screen pops up click OK. Once the Physical Service request has been submitted repeat the procedure and submit a service request based on the VM template. Again use your team number for the host completion string.
Slide 51
51
Click on the My Requests tab, this will bring up a list of all submitted request. You will see your current request in paused and is awaiting approval. IO templates have a default workflow that requires the request to be approved. These workflows can be modified or new workflows can be created and assigned to the templates. You need to go back to the IO Operations screen in Matrix Operating Environment and approve the request for it to continue.
Slide 52
52
Log back into Matrix Operating Environment and open the Insight Orchestration application. Once the dash board is open look in the Request Summary section and click on the Paused for Approval Link.
Slide 53
53
When the list of requests opens select YOUR TEAMS request, (Please do not approve or cancel the other teams requests) and then click Approve. When the Approval box opens, enter any notes you want and then click OK.
Slide 54

HP Cloud Map kits include best practice templates, workflows, and scripts developed by HP and partners for the rapid deployment of infrastructure for key application solutions such as SAP, Oracle RAC, and Microsoft Exchange. The Cloud Maps can be found at http://hp.com/go/cloudmaps. Some of the maps can be generated directly from the HP Sizer tools (For example Exchange 2010) Due to time constraints We will only be importing the XML portion of the Cloud Maps during this lab. To start the import process login to Insight Orchestration Designer.
Slide 57
57
Once you are logged in to the Designer select the import button from the Tool Bar.
Slide 58
58
When the file dialog box opens browse to C:\CloudMaps, you will see a number of Cloud Maps to choose from. (In our example we selected the PeopleSoft Template)
Slide 59
59
Cloud Map Templates are stored in XML format. Highlight the template file and then click open.
Slide 60
Informational Messages
60
During the import process HP Insight Orchestration will display warning messages, this is normal since we do not have all the required software loaded into the library. You can still proceed with the import and then configure any additional resources necessary (Storage, Networking, Software). Click the finish button to complete the import process.
Slide 61
Import completed
61
Do not worry that the Validation checks will not pass. This is because the Network, Storage, and Software components in the template do not match whats in the current environment.
Slide 62
HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) is a software tool that manages storage provisioning within the HP Matrix Operating Environment. It provides a secure service-centric management interface to storage, enabling storage requests to be fulfilled with available storage services from the SPM catalog, and securely automating storage management tasks by interfacing directly with storage arrays. SPM is always working, even when the user interface is not running. There are two main use models: In the pre-populated model, a storage architect or administrator first populates the SPM catalog with storage services to be exposed to server management software, then sets up access rights for those services. HP Matrix Operating Environment then enables a server administrator to request storage, which is sent to SPM as a storage services request (a set of goals). SPM then returns a list of
candidate storage services to HP Matrix Operating Environment. The server administrator selects one or more appropriate volume services to fulfill the set of goals. In the request-based model, a server administrator uses HP Matrix Operating Environment to request storage before it is imported or created within SPM. The storage architect or administrator then adds arrays and volume services to fulfill the goals in that service request. For more information on SPM please see http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02796773/c02796773.pdf We are going to start with a walk through of the Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) Administrator interface.
Slide 63

Slide 64
SPM Portal
64
After logging into SPM you will see a Catalog screen displaying an overview of Storage Capacity used and Available, Requests fulfilled. A goal represents a request for a single volume service. Each goal contains a list of constraints (requirements) that describe the storage selected from the catalog, as well as service delivery requirements. In our case the Storage Admin has pre-populated the catalog and all Goals will be generated from within the Matrix Operating Environment once you create a storage pool entry.
Slide 65
65
This displays the storage requests generated from Matrix Operating Environment Storage Pool Entries (SPE). Double click on one for the service requests to see the details
Slide 66

Since we are using the Storage Provisioning Manager in this lab select the San Storage Catalog Entry from the Select Storage Type drop down menu and then click the Add Entry button. SAN Storage Entry Requires that you manually enter the storage port WWN and LUN identifier corresponding to the server WWN for each storage volume. SAN Catalog Storage Entry Allows you to select storage that was preconfigured in HP Storage Provisioning Manager. Dynamically presents volumes to user specified server WWNs. SAN Pre-populated Catalog Storage Entry Allows you to select storage that was preconfigured in HP Storage Provisioning Manager. All volumes are already presented to WWNs, and the WWNs are displayed with the volumes. Add a volume, select a candidate for the volume and a storage port WWN, and the rest of the information is filled in automatically.
Slide 73
