An executable file is also included in the tar file to support an installation of OO Studio. Installing
OO Studio allows you to customize flows for general use cases. Customized flows can be saved
as content packs and exported to a local directory. You can then pull those customized flows into
OO Central. Workflows can be used to perform administrative tasks such as:
• monitor provisioned virtual machines and send email notifications in the event of a failure
• check the status of memory, storage and CPU usage
• run a health check on virtual machines
• apply patches to specific virtual machines
• schedule snapshot creation for specific virtual machines
Procedure 35 Working with OO workflows
Refer to the OO Studio documentation for more information on how to use OO Studio features.
You can find documentation in the program folder you placed on your Windows system. Example:
C:/Program Files/Hewlett-Packard/HP Operations Orchestration/docs
1. From the Windows system, log in to OO Studio
2. Load and test one of the flows imported into OO Studio.
3. Customize the flow and save it as a content pack.
4. Export the content pack to your local directory.
5. From the CloudSystem Console, select Integrated Tools→OO Central.
6. Log in with the OO Central user name and password. This is the same user name and password
used to log in to the CloudSystem Console.
7. Import the saved flow from your local directory.
8. Select the Library tab.
9. Navigate to the imported flow and select it.
10. Click the Run button.
VMware vCenter Server
VMware vCenter Server is an appliance that is used to manage multiple ESX hosts through a single
console application. VMware ESX is a virtualization platform on which you create and run virtual
machines. vCenter Server acts as a central administrator for ESX hosts that are connected on a
network. You can pool and manage the resources of multiple ESX hosts while monitoring and
managing your physical and virtual infrastructure.
In CloudSystem, register vCenter Server as an integrated tool to establish a connection between
the two appliances. Once vCenter Server is registered, ESX clusters can be imported from vCenter
Server to the CloudSystem Console. The imported ESX clusters can then be activated and included
in the cloud.
For more information, see VMware vSphere Documentation at VMware.
Register VMware vCenter Server
Use this procedure to register a connection to VMware vCenter Server in the CloudSystem Console.
After the connection is made, you can import ESX clusters to be used as compute nodes.
Completing the configuration of the vCenter Server requires entering data on multiple screens and
dialogs.
Prerequisites
• Minimum required privileges: Infrastructure Administrator
• A vCenter Server is installed and configured and connected to the network
• You have configured Cloud Networking settings. See Edit Cloud Networking (page 73).
