Automating OpsMgr Integration of Hyper-V with Opalis
Enabling the IT Process Automation
IT Process Automation (ITPA), also known as Run Book Automation (RBA), is
the ability to orchestrate and integrate IT management tools through workflow
Take tasks like OpsMgr monitoring,
identify a Hyper-V host problem, trigger
an Opalis script to Live Migrate guest
sessions to another server
Use OpsMgr to monitor the response
time of an application, determine that
the app is not performing as quickly as
expected, spawn an Opalis policy to
provision a new guest session to
improve performance response
