Configuring Matrix OE with a remote Microsoft SQL Server database
Because Windows Single Sign On is used by Matrix OE to connect to the SQL Server database,
the credentials associated with the user account executing a command or service are used to
connect to the remote database. Therefore, user accounts used to execute Matrix OE software that
accesses the database must satisfy the following conditions:
• The user credentials specified for the CMS access and database access during the installation
should be the same, and be trusted domain credentials available to both the CMS and database
systems.
• The user credentials specified during the installation for the database access should have
access permissions to the database.
If you run a CLI command as a user that is not a domain user or does not have database access
permission on the remote database, and the CLI command requires database access, the command
will fail.
Operations Orchestration intended usage in Matrix OE
A limited version of Operations Orchestration is included with Matrix OE. This version of Operations
Orchestration is licensed for limited uses.
Functionality
• Allows Matrix OE infrastructure orchestration to trigger Operations Orchestration workflows
for pre- and post- provisioning tasks. Examples include Create Service/Add Server, Standby
Server/Service, and Resume Server/Service.
Workflows in the limited version of Operations Orchestration included with Matrix OE may
only be triggered from the Matrix OE infrastructure orchestration interface in relation to pre-
and post- provisioning tasks. An upgrade to the full version of Operations Orchestration allows
the launch of workflows from outside of the Matrix OE interface.
• The limited version of Operations Orchestration allows Matrix OE to be integrated with other
management software. However, this requires additional services from HP consulting.
• The limited version of Operations Orchestration included within Matrix OE is licensed for one
author in OO Studio. Upgrades to the full version of Operations Orchestration allow for
multiple authors.
• The version of HP Operations Orchestration Central that is included in Matrix OE may only
be used for flow troubleshooting. An upgrade to the full version of Operations Orchestration
allows the use of Operations Orchestration Central to launch and schedule the launch of
Operations Orchestration workflows from outside of Matrix OE/Insight Control.
Content
The content supplied with the limited version is a subset of the content that is available in the full
version of Operations Orchestration and is related to Infrastructure-as-a-Service workflows. An
upgrade to the full version of Operations Orchestration provides additional content.
