Figure 2-45 HPE SUM and iLO Federation

When you log on to HPE SUM, it automatically searches for iLO Federation groups on connected networks as shown in Figure 2-45. HPE SUM searches each group and displays the nodes that respond to the HPE SUM search. The Edit scalable update group screen is used to enter the IP address and user credentials for one node in the iLO Federation group that HPE SUM uses as the interface for inventory and deployment to the nodes in the group.

When you select a group, HPE SUM displays information about the group, including a description, server types, number of servers, and installed firmware versions. HPE SUM displays the PMC, CPLD, System ROM, and iLO firmware.

The HPE SUM iLO Federation feature relies on proper configuration of iLO Federation groups before launching HPE SUM. Having multiple iLO Federation groups with the same name or fragmented iLO Federation groups can result in HPE SUM only working with a portion of the expected systems.

Other systems ask iLOs for data on a periodic basis, and store that data in a database. They might request server data such as temperatures, profiles, or firmware versions from iLO once an hour and store that in the server ’s database or HPE OneView appliance. This is less scalable than the iLO Federation approach, which includes virtual real-time updates.

iLO Federation management provides scalability enhancements when used with HPE SUM: Automatically discover iLO Federation groups on the management network.

HPE Service Pack for ProLiant

SPP is a comprehensive package that includes firmware, drivers, and tools across ProLiant servers and infrastructure including many generations of ProLiant BL/DL/ML/SL series servers as illustrated by Figure 2-46.

SPP provides this consolidated set of solution-tested ProLiant system software available as a single download. You spend less time on maintenance with resulting confidence in the up-date’s stability. SPP is available for customers to download and install on products that are under an active warranty or an HPE Support Agreement. For latest component updates, check the server prod-uct-specific webpage. SPP will, in general, carry the current generation of an operating system plus one previous generation.

SPP is pretested for component dependencies, customizable for the environment, and supported for one year.

In between each full SPP release, you might need to apply hot fixes as necessary to address specific issues. Hot fixes are supported as part of the SPP because each hot fix component is tested individually against the latest SPP and all other SPPs released within the last 12 months.

Maintenance Supplement Bundles (MSBs) are used together with an associated SPP and are released in April and October. This includes any supplements or hot fixes that have been issued since the associated SPP was issued. Applying an MSB extends the support period of the SPP. SPP supplements and other (non-hot fix) components might also be needed to support new operating system releases or

• • new functionality. These types of releases can be combined with a full SPP release to create a custom solution.

On-premises management with HPE OneView

HPE OneView is a software-defined management platform that addresses the challenges of manual operation, human error, and limited extensibility in virtualized BladeSystem and rack server environments as illustrated by Figure 2-47. HPE OneView features a unique automation hub that consists of a state change message bus (SCMB) and the RESTful API. This means all of the information that HPE OneView collects, all of the changes that HPE OneView knows about, and all of the templates and control functions that HPE OneView delivers can be accessed programmatically. By capturing processes, configurations, and best practices in software, HPE OneView creates a modern collaborative management approach that automates the deployment and management of infrastructure—repeatedly, reliably, and at scale. With HPE OneView, basic tasks take seconds and stay simple at any scale, radically accelerating all data center processes.

The software-based approach to lifecycle management in HPE OneView automates operations to reduce the cost and time to deliver IT services. The HPE RESTful API allows you to create customized workflows and scripts, as well as configuration profiles for push-button builds that instantly deliver resources without mistakes or variation.

HPE OneView offers a single integrated platform that provides one view of the server, network, and storage environment for a simple, integrated user experience. It is available as a virtual appliance running in a VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine.

HPE OneView provides converged management for the software-defined data center through the following features:

Server profile templates—Centralized configuration and change management

• • • • • • • – – Online firmware and driver updates—Updates that align with IT process Storage snapshots and clones—For rapid data protection and recovery SAN monitoring and diagnostics as well as Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) support— More connectivity options for better problem diagnosis Virtual Connect management—Enhanced VLAN scale, partially stacked domains, and QoS, dual hop FCoE

The integrated SCMB messaging platform enables dynamic and responsive integrations with solutions such as HPE Insight Control for VMware vCenter and OpenStack for HPE Helion CloudSystem. The SCMB provides a communication channel between application processes and the underlying systems that it manages. It uses asynchronous messaging to notify subscribers of changes to both logical and physical resources. 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 poll the appliance continuously for status using the RESTful API.

HPE OneView integrates with many commonly used tools, applications, and products, including service desk, reporting, monitoring, and configuration management database (CMDB) tools; Helion CloudSystem software; and Microsoft, VMware, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux hypervisor solutions.

Note

A CMDB is a repository that acts as a data warehouse for an IT organ-ization. It contains information describing IT assets such as software and hardware products and personnel. The automation hub supports two types of converged management: Infrastructure lifecycle management—Support for HPE ConvergedSystem, HPE 3PAR storage, ProLiant DL servers, and BladeSystem products Partner integrations—Out-of-the-box plug-ins for VMware, Microsoft, Red Hat, and OpenStack management products

The software-defined capabilities provide support for policy-driven infrastructure templates that drive automated activities. The templates capture best practices and allow for rapid, repeatable, and reliable automated operations that reduce operational costs. This means that IT organizations can easily incorporate HPE OneView functions into workflows that extend beyond infrastructure management.
