VMware, Inc. 5 HP Server Automation Overview 1 You can you can provision virtual machines by using an HP Server Automation boot image or by provisioning by cloning and using an HP Server Automation template when you integrateHP Server Automation with vRealize Automation. You can optionally identify the HP Server Automation policies to make available in vRealize Automation. Machine requestors can select from among these policies to install software on the requested machine, or you can specify HP Server Automation policies in the blueprint to be applied to every machine that is provisioned from that blueprint. Integration Requirements Overview The following is a high-level overview of the requirements for integrating HP Server Automation with vRealize Automation: n A system administrator installs Microsoft PowerShell on the installation host prior to installing the agent. The required version of Microsoft PowerShell depends on the operating system of the installation host and might have been installed with that operating system. See Microsoft Help and Support. n A system administrator installs the HP Server Automation snap-in on at least one host for vRealize Automation external provisioning integration (EPI) installation. See Chapter 2 Install the HP Server Automation PowerShell Snap-In. n A system administrator sets the PowerShell execution policy to RemoteSigned. See Set the PowerShell Execution Policy to RemoteSigned. n A system administrator installs at least one EPI agent. See Chapter 3 Install an EPI Agent for HP Server Automation. n A system administrator sets up the selected integration method. See Chapter 5 Integrating HP Server Automation. n A system administrator enables software installation from HP Server Automation. See Chapter 6 Enable vRealize Automation Software Installation from HP Server Automation. n A tenant administrator or a business group manager creates a blueprint that enables the deployment of software jobs. See Chapter 7 Creating Blueprints for HP Server Automation. VMware, Inc. 6 IaaS Integration for HP Server Automation n A tenant administrator or a business group manager publishes the blueprint. See Chapter 9 Publish a Blueprint. VMware, Inc. 7 Install the HP Server Automation PowerShell Snap-In 2 The HP Server Automation snap-in must be installed on at least one host for vRealize Automation external provisioning integration (EPI) installation prior to installing the EPI agent.

Procedure 1 Select Start > All Programs > Windows PowerShell version > Windows PowerShell. VMware, Inc. 8 IaaS Integration for HP Server Automation 2 Type Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned to set the policy to RemoteSigned. 3 Type Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted to set the policy to Unrestricted. 4 Type Get-ExecutionPolicy to verify the current settings for the execution policy. 5 Type Exit. VMware, Inc. 9 Install an EPI Agent for HP Server Automation 3 A system administrator must install at least one vRealize Automation EPI agent to manage interaction with HP Server Automation. The agent can be installed anywhere, including the vRealize Automation server or the HP Server Automation server, as long as the agent can communicate with both servers. Prerequisites n Verify that the HP Server Automation PowerShell Snap-in is installed on the same host as your EPI agent. If the EPI agent is installed before the snap-in, then the agent service must be restarted after the snap-in is installed. See Chapter 2 Install the HP Server Automation PowerShell Snap-In. n The agent must be installed on Windows Server 2008 SP1, Windows Server 2008 SP2 (32 or 64-bit), Windows Server 2008 R2 system, or Windows 2012 with .NET 4.5. n The credentials of the agent must have administrative access to all HP Server Automation hosts with which the agent will interact. n Install the IaaS components, including the Manager Service and Website. n See Installing vRealize Automation 7.0 for complete information about installing vRealize Automation agents. n Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a system administrator. Procedure 1 Select Custom Install and Proxy Agent on the Installation Type page. 2 Accept the root install location or click Change and select an installation path. 3 Click Next. 4 Log in with administrator privileges for the Windows services on the installation machine. The service must run on the same installation machine. 5 Click Next. 6 Select EPIPowerShell from the Agent type list. VMware, Inc. 10 IaaS Integration for HP Server Automation 7 Enter an identifier for this agent in the Agent name text box. Maintain a record of the agent name, credentials, endpoint name, and platform instance for each agent. You need this information to configure endpoints and to add hosts in the future. Important Do not duplicate agent names unless you are installing redundant, identically configured agents for high availability. 8 Option Description Redundant agent install Install redundant agents on different servers, but name and configure them identically to provide high-availability. Single agent install Select a unique name for this agent. Configure a connection to the Manager Service component. Option Description If you are using a load balancer Enter the fully qualified domain name and port number of the load balancer for the Manager Service component. For example, manager-load-balancer.eng.mycompany.com:443. IP addresses are not recognized. With no load balancer Enter the fully qualified domain name and port number of the machine where you installed the Manager Service component. For example, manager_service.mycompany.com:443. IP addresses are not recognized. The default port is 443. 9 Configure a connection to the Manager Website component. Option Description If you are using a load balancer Enter the fully qualified domain name and port number of the load balancer for the Manager Website component. For example, website-load-balancer.eng.mycompany.com:443. IP addresses are not recognized. With no load balancer Enter the fully qualified domain name and port number of the machine where you installed the Manager Website component. For example, website_component.mycompany.com:443. IP addresses are not recognized. The default port is 443. 10 Click Test to verify connectivity to each host. 11 Click Opsware in EPI Type. 12 Type the fully qualified domain name of the managed server in the EPI Server text box. Optionally, you can leave this blank to let the agent interact with multiple hosts. The HP Server Automation server with which the agent interacts when provisioning a machine by using HP Server Automation depends on the value of the required custom property, EPI.Server.Name, in the blueprint. VMware, Inc. 11 IaaS Integration for HP Server Automation Therefore, if you install a dedicated EPI agent by specifying an HP Server Automation server name during installation, only machines whose EPI.Server.Name property exactly matches the server name configured for the agent can be provisioned by that server. If you install a general EPI agent by not specifying an HP Server Automation server name during installation, a machine can be provisioned by any server specified in the blueprint EPI.Server.Name property, that is assuming the agent can contact that server. Note If no matching agent can be found, or there are no agents with unspecified server values, Opsware provisioning will wait until a suitable agent is found. 13 Click Add. 14 Click Next. 15 Click Install to begin the installation. After several minutes a success message appears. 16 Click Next. 17 Click Finish. What to do next Determine the type of integration method to use. See Chapter 5 Integrating HP Server Automation. VMware, Inc. 12 Extend the Default Software Installation Timeout 4 When you install the software for the integration product, the software might take longer to install than the default 30-minute timeout. You can increase the default timeout to a value that allows the installation to finish. Procedure 1 Navigate to the Manager Service installation directory. Typically, this is %System-Drive%\Program Files x86\VMware\vCAC\Server. 2 Create a backup of the ManagerService.exe.config file. 3 Open the ManagerService.exe.config file and locate the workflowTimeoutConfigurationSection element and increase the value of the DefaultTimeout attribute from 30 minutes to your desired limit. 4 Click Save and close the file. 5 Select Start > Administrative Tools > Services, and restart the vRealize Automation service. VMware, Inc. 13 Integrating HP Server Automation 5 The steps required to integrate HP Server Automation with vRealize Automation depend on which provisioning method you want to use and whether you want to enable software installation from HP Server Automation. When provisioning virtual machines, you can select from the following integration methods: n Provision by using a system from which HP Server Automation deploys images that is available on the network. n Provision by cloning by using a template that is prepared for HP Server Automation. You can optionally identify the HP Server Automation policies to make available in vRealize Automation. Machine requestors can select from among these policies to install software on the requested machine, or you can specify HP Server Automation policies in the blueprint to be applied to every machine that is provisioned from that blueprint. This chapter includes the following topics: n Enable Provisioning from HP Server Automation Boot Images n Preparing an HP Server Automation Template for Cloning Enable Provisioning from HP Server Automation Boot Images A system administrator can use an HP Server Automation boot image to enable vRealize Automation to provision machines by using that instance of HP Server Automation. Prerequisites n A system from which HP Server Automation deploys images is available on the network. n An EPI agent installed. See Chapter 3 Install an EPI Agent for HP Server Automation. n Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a system administrator. Procedure 1 On the EPI/Opsware Agent host, select Start > Administrative Tools > Services, and stop the vRealize Automation EPI/Opsware Agent. VMware, Inc. 14 IaaS Integration for HP Server Automation 2 On the EPI agent installation host, which may be the same as the Manager Service host, change to the EPI agent installation directory, typically %SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)\VMware\vCAC Agents\agent_name. 3 Edit the agent configuration file, VRMAgent.exe.config, in the EPI agent installation directory. a Locate the following line.b Change the line to match the following line. 4 Create an HP SA password file in the Scripts folder. The credentials you provide for this file must have administrator access to all instances of HP SA with which the agent will interact. 5 a Select Start > All Programs > Windows Power- Shell 1.0 > Windows PowerShell. b Change to the Scripts directory. c Type \CreatePasswordFile.ps1 username. d Type the password when prompted. e Type Exit. On the vRealize Automation EPI/Opsware Agent host, select Start > Administrative Tools > Services, and then start or restart the vRealize Automation EPI/Opsware Agent service. Preparing an HP Server Automation Template for Cloning You can use an HP Server Automation template to integrate with vRealize Automation. To create the HP Server Automation template, you must create a reference machine and add customization specifications to it. For Windows, see Prepare a Reference Machine for Windows. For Linux, see Prepare a Reference Machine for Linux. Prepare a Reference Machine for Linux You must prepare a reference machine and convert it to a template for cloning to add software installation by HP Server Automation to provisioning by cloning. VMware, Inc. 15 IaaS Integration for HP Server Automation Procedure 1 Add the HP Server Automation agent installation package to the cloning template. 2 Copy the HP Server Automation agent installer to the reference machine. 3 Create a script to run the installer and install the HP Server Automation agent. 4 Copy the script to the reference machine. 5 Add the customization required to invoke the agent after provisioning, so that the agent is installed on each cloned machine. Note Do not install HP Server Automation on the reference machine. The agent must be installed by using the customization specification or postinstall script following cloning. What to do next n Optionally, identify the HP Server Automation policies to make available in vRealize Automation. See Chapter 6 Enable vRealize Automation Software Installation from HP Server Automation n Create a blueprint for the type of HP Server Automation integration you want to enable. See Chapter 7 Creating Blueprints for HP Server Automation. Prepare a Reference Machine for Windows You must prepare a reference machine and convert it to a template for cloning before you can add software installation by HP Server Automation to provisioning by cloning. Procedure 1 Add the HP Server Automation agent installation package to the cloning template. 2 Copy the HP Server Automation agent installer to the C:\ directory of the reference machine. 3 Add the customization required to invoke the agent after provisioning, by adding following line to the Run Once section of the customization specification. C:\opswareagentinstaller --opsw_gw_addr opswareipaddress:3001 -s --force_sw_reg --force_full_hw_reg This customization also installs the agent on each cloned machine. 4 Replace opswareagentinstaller with the name of the HP Server Automation agent installer executable. VMware, Inc. 16 IaaS Integration for HP Server Automation 5 Replace opswareipaddress with the IP address of the server that is hosting the HP Server Automation instance that installs the software. For example: C:\ opsware-agent-37.0.0.2.61-win32-6.0.exe --opsw_gw_addr 10.20.100.52:3001 -s --force_sw_reg -force_full_hw_reg What to do next n Optionally, identify the HP Server Automation policies to make available in vRealize Automation. See Chapter 6 Enable vRealize Automation Software Installation from HP Server Automation. n Create a blueprint for the type of HP Server Automation integration you want to enable. See Chapter 7 Creating Blueprints for HP Server Automation. VMware, Inc. 17 Enable vRealize Automation Software Installation from HP Server Automation 6 A system administrator can optionally identify the HP Server Automation policies to make available in vRealize Automation. Machine requestors can select from among these policies to install software on the requested machine, or HP Server Automation policies can be specified in the blueprint to be applied to every machine that is provisioned from that blueprint. Prerequisites n An EPI agent installed. See Chapter 3 Install an EPI Agent for HP Server Automation. n Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a system administrator. Procedure 1 Open your blueprint in a text editor. 2 Include the custom property in your blueprint Vrm.Software.IdNNNN=software_policy_name 3 Replace software_policy_name with the name of the policy. For example where you want to install HP Server Automation Windows ISM Tool, HP Server Automation Linux ISM Tool, or both, the blueprint might contain the following custom property/value pairs: Vrm.Software.Id1000=Windows ISMtool Vrm.Software.Id1001=RedHatLinux ISMtool 4 Save your changes and close the blueprint file. VMware, Inc. 18 Creating Blueprints for HP Server Automation 7 The type of blueprint you create depends on how you want to enable HP Server Automation integration. You need to create a blueprint that includes all of the information required for machine provisioning and the information required for HP Server Automation integration for either of the following integration methods: n Provisioning by using a system from which HP Server Automation deploys images. n Provisioning by cloning from a template that is prepared for HP Server Automation. You can optionally identify the HP Server Automation policies to make available in vRealize Automation. Machine requestors can select from among these policies to install software on the requested machine, or you can specify HP Server Automation policies in the blueprint to be applied to every machine that is provisioned from that blueprint. This chapter includes the following topics: n Create a Virtual Blueprint for Creating from an HP Server Automation Boot Image n Create a Blueprint for Cloning from an HP Server Automation Template Create a Virtual Blueprint for Creating from an HP Server Automation Boot Image A tenant administrator or business group manager creates a blueprint for using an HP Server Automation boot image to deploy HP Server Automation software jobs on machines provisioned from it.
