HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.1 Getting Started Guide

This restricted version of operations orchestration:
• Is licensed for only one author. An upgrade to the full version of operations orchestration
allows for multiple authors.
• Can only be used for pre- and post-provisioning workflows and workflow troubleshooting. An
upgrade to the full version of operations orchestration allows you to schedule the launch of
operations orchestration workflows outside of Matrix OE.
• Provides a subset of the content that is available in the full version of operations orchestration.
This subset is related to Infrastructure-as-a-Service workflows. An upgrade to the full version
of the software provides additional content.
• Allows Matrix OE to be integrated with other management software. However, this requires
additional services from HP consulting.
License requirements for managed systems with Instant Capacity products
For systems using Instant Capacity products (including iCAP, GiCAP, and TiCAP), the total number
of licenses assigned across all nPartitions within the complex (or across multiple complexes when
using GiCAP) must be equal to or greater than the total number of processors that you have
purchased.
Managed system trial licenses
The following trial licenses are available:
• When Matrix OE is installed on the CMS, 10 trial licenses for HP Matrix OE for Integrity are
included in the License Manager database. These licenses can be applied to HP Integrity and
HP 9000 systems. Each trial license is valid for 90 days after it is applied to a managed
system. To continue to manage these systems beyond the trial period, you must purchase
permanent licenses.
These trial licenses can be applied to managed systems by the Insight managed system setup
wizard or by the vselicense command. They cannot be applied through HP SIM License
Manager. For information about the managed system setup wizard, see “Recommended
process: Use the managed system setup wizard” (page 20). For information about
vselicense, see “Command reference” (page 47).
• Matrix OE trial licenses for 10 managed systems can be obtained by registering with HP. To
obtain these trial licenses, contact your HP sales representative, your HP services representative,
or your authorized HP reseller.
You can view the status of your trial licenses using the HP SIM License Manager. For information
about License Manager, see “Alternative process: Use HP SIM License Manager” (page 21).
Adding and applying managed system licenses
To use a purchased license, you must first add it to the HP SIM License Manager database on the
CMS, then apply the license to a specific managed system. The CMS keeps track of how many of
each type of license are available to be applied to managed systems. As you apply licenses, the
number of available licenses decreases.
Recommended process: Use the managed system setup wizard
HP recommends using the Insight managed system setup wizard to add and apply licenses for
Matrix OE. To start the managed system setup wizard, select Configure→Managed System Setup
Wizard... from the top menu bar. Help is available in each step of the wizard. For more information
about the managed system setup wizard, see “Using the Insight managed system setup wizard”
(page 25), and the Insight Managed System Setup Wizard Getting Started Guide available from
