HP OneView integration

[EcoStruxureIT]

Available for IT Advisor on-premise installations only

The HP OneView integration is available with the standard ITA license. This allows you to get basic server and blade enclosure information from the HP OneView system.

With the Data Center: IT Optimize license, you also get CPU and power data from the HP OneView system. 

Assets and alarms are transferred instantly from HP to ITA using an event bus. CPU, power and temperature data are polled from the HP OneView system using its web service interface.

The data shown when you hover over a tool tip is also loaded instantly from the HP OneView server. 

ITA also presents historical trending (calculated average over the last 7 days). The interval for polling data for this trending can be configured (System Setup > External System Configuration > HP OneView Configuration > Utilization update interval in hours), but the default setting should be precise enough.

No data is transferred from ITA to the HP system.
