Configure HPE CSA designs for import into HPE ITOC

Configure HPE CSA designs so that HPE CSA instances can be imported into HPE ITOC:

  1. Ensure that every resource component that is part of the HPE CSA service has following attribute set: ITOCResourceType
  1. The value specified for ITOCResourceType must be of type string and have a valid 1:1 mapping to HPE ITOC-supported resource types. If not specified, the resource type (when imported into HPE ITOC) will be "Unknown."
  2. All applicable properties for a given resource type in HPE ITOC must be available on the HPE CSA resource also and have the exact same name and value.
  3. All HPE CSA services to be imported into HPE ITOC require a tag attached to the HPE CSA design in the following format:

    ITOCPolicy_POL_ 0001:MW_12

    in which POL_0001 is the applicable business ID of the policy and 12 is the ID of the maintenance window that will run the jobs for this service. The user can include multiple Maintenance Windows in a tag as follows:

    ITOCPolicy_POL_ 0001:MW_12:MW_14:MW_xx

    If the policy or maintenance window names are missing, no statement is created.

  4. HPE ITOC supports the ITOCDomainName user-defined property in HPE CSA services to specify the optional domain name for a resource.

HPE ITOC import

When HPE ITOC successfully imports the HPE CSA service and associated resource instances, it also automatically:

  • Creates the corresponding Business Service and all associated resources.

  • Promotes the business service to production.

  • Ensures that the policy specified by the ITOCPolicy_ tag is available in the same org as the user that initiated the service in HPE CSA and in production.

  • Ensures the maintenance window is available and in the same org as the user that initiated the service in HPE CSA.
  • Creates and promotes to production a new statement that ties the newly imported service with the specified policy and maintenance window.
