1.9 Integration with other HP management software

Onboard Administrator

HP OneView interacts seamlessly with the Onboard Administrator to provide complete management of HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosures. A user’s Onboard Administrator privileges are determined by the role assigned to the user’s HP OneView appliance account.

HP Integrated Lights-Out

HP OneView interacts seamlessly with the iLO management processor to provide complete management of HP servers. HP OneView automatically configures the iLO according to the settings specified by the 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 operating system on the server using either scripted installation or captured image deployment.

1.10 Open integration

The single, consistent resource model, REST APIs, and SCMB 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)

•Connecting to service desks

•Monitoring resources, collecting data, and mapping and modeling systems

•Exporting data to formats that suit your needs

•Attaching custom databases, data warehouses, or third-party business intelligence tools

•Integrating in-house user customizations

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 185).
