Insight Orchestration users

Architect  Uses HP Insight Orchestration Designer (a graphical designer) to develop, test, and publish infrastructure service templates which capture the requirements to provision the infrastructure service. During develop and design, the architect specifies attributes for the logical resources, such as minimum memory required, IP address allocation, and the software required on the boot disk. The architect can also author and attach Operations Orchestration workflows to a template to automate additional IT tasks during the provisioning and ongoing management of the service infrastructure.

Administrator  Uses HP Insight Orchestration console running in HP SIM to manage the overall behavior of Insight Orchestration including creating Insight Orchestration pools of servers, managing the available networks and software inventory, approving user requests, and modifying user service infrastructures as required, for example to migrate logical servers between server blades to support maintenance activities on the physical environment. The administrator also performs manual tasks within a semi-automated operation.

User  Uses the Self-Service Portal to create infrastructure services from templates. The user initiates the creation a new infrastructure service by selecting a template design, selecting one or more user assigned resource pools to use, and specifying a lease period. After the infrastructure is allocated and provisioned it is available to the user for the duration of the lease period. During this time the user can update the service, for example adding more servers or storage using the Insight Orchestration request process for the ongoing management of services through the Self-Service Portal.
