9 Preparing HP Operations Orchestration for CloudSystem
Foundation
HP Operations Orchestration (OO) is a next generation IT Process Automation solution. OO supports
CloudSystem in two ways.
• HP Operations Orchestration Central (OO Central) is integrated with CloudSystem Foundation.
It allows you to run workflows to perform administrative tasks in Foundation.
• HP Operations Orchestration Studio (OO Studio) is a separate installation. It allows you to
customize workflows, which you can then run in OO Central.
Using OO Central
To access OO Central, open the CloudSystem Console and select Integrated Tools from the main
menu.
OO Central comes with five general use workflows, which perform administrative tasks for
CloudSystem Foundation. You can run these workflows from OO Central.
• base-cp: This workflow provides support for integrations with various solutions (email, excel,
active directory, file system, etc). It also includes basic operations used by other the content
packs.
• systems-cp: This workflow provides support for integrating operating systems such as AIX,
FreeBSD, HP UX, Red Hat, Solaris, SUSE Linux and Windows.
• virtualization-cp: This workflow supports integration with virtualization platforms such as Citrix
Xen Server, Hyper-V, KVM, SCVMM and VMware.
• hp-solutions-cp: This workflow provides support for integrating HP solutions such as HP
ArchSight, HP Fortify, HP Load Runner, HP Application Lifecycle Management, and HP Onboard
Administrator.
• cloud-cp: This workflow supports exposed APIs from cloud providers like OpenStack, Amazon
EC2, IAM, S3 and VMware vCloud.
Once the workflows are loaded, you can run them at any time. For more information about HP
Operations Orchestration, see http://www.hp.com/go/oo.
Installing OO Studio
There are two parts to the OO Studio installation.
• Installing OO Studio (page 47)
• Upgrading OO Studio (page 48)
Installing OO Studio allows you to customize workflows. Customized flows are saved as content
packs and exported to a local directory. You can then pull the customized flows into OO Central
and run them to perform administrative tasks in CloudSystem Foundation.
Prerequisites
• Foundation is fully installed and first time setup is completed.
• You have access to a Windows workstation.
• System requirements are met. Refer to HP Operations Orchestration System Requirements at
