6 HP Server Automation
HP Server Automation (SA) software provides complete automated lifecycle management for enterprise servers. It automates the deployment of applications. It provides a proven, scalable, and heterogeneous solution for establishing a baseline, provisioning, patching, configuration management, script execution, and compliance management—all across physical and virtual servers including VM templates. HP Server Automation Ultimate allows customers to standardize, consolidate, and automate server operations in their hybrid data center thereby increasing efficiency and reducing risks.
The present implementation at MWA is a Multimaster Mesh, which means that there are 2 SA installations, 1 each at the DR and DC sites. Due to the multimaster mesh configuration, VMs managed by one SA installation can be viewed and managed by the other SA installation as well.
6.1 SAS Web Client
SAS Web Client provides a view access to the end user from the browser and is accessible through a configured web URL. To log in to the SAS Web Client, your SA administrator must have created a user name and password for you, and assigned user permissions that control the features you can access, the actions you can perform, and the resources you can access.
