CloudSystem Foundation components
CloudSystem Foundation is the platform that you use to manage both Foundation and Enterprise appliances. Foundation includes the following components, which run on virtual machines on the management host.
|
CloudSystem Console
|
Web-based user interface for administrative tasks, including managing and monitoring the cloud and releasing resources back to the cloud. From the console, you can activate compute nodes, configure networks and storage, and perform maintenance tasks on the Foundation and Enterprise appliances.
|
|
CloudSystem Portal
|
Web-based interface for creating, launching, and managing virtual machine instances. The portal can be accessed by appending /portal to the Foundation appliance URL (for example, https://192.0.2.2./portal).

HP Operations Orchestration
|
Operations Orchestration Central automates operational tasks and processes using a set of predefined workflows. OO Central is packaged with the Foundation appliance and is launched from the Integrated Tools screen in the CloudSystem Console. Enterprise integrates with OO Central to support pre- and post-server group provisioning.
Operations Orchestration Studio is an optional tool for customizing workflows, which is installed separately. The OO Studio installation files are included with the CloudSystem installation tar files.

Command line interface
|
csadmin provides command line access for storage system administrative tasks, private network VLAN management tasks, appliance management tasks and console user management tasks.
csstart deploys and configures the Foundation base appliance on the management host. You can run csstart from the command line or you can launch a GUI version for a more user-friendly installation experience.
