HPE OneView

HPE OneView is an integrated IT management solution that transforms compute, storage, and networking into software-defined infrastructure for task automation.

Use Cases the Adapter Solves

• Server Hardware Inventory: Maintain a complete, up-to-date inventory of all HPE ProLiant servers managed by HPE OneView, including model, serial number, firmware versions, and slot information.
• Manufacturer and Processor Visibility: Surface device manufacturer and processor type data alongside server hardware records to support procurement, lifecycle, and compliance workflows.
• Infrastructure State Monitoring: Track power state, maintenance state, and hardware status for HPE servers to support operational monitoring and incident response.

Types of Assets Fetched

This adapter fetches the following types of assets:

• Devices

Data Retrieved through the Adapter

Devices - fields such as: Hostname, IP Addresses, MAC Addresses, Serial Number, Model

Before You Begin

Required Ports

• TCP port 443 (HTTPS)

Authentication Methods

HPE OneView uses session-based authentication.

An optional Authentication Login Domain can be specified when the user account belongs to an Active Directory or LDAP directory.

APIs

Axonius uses the HPE OneView API. The following endpoints are called:

• GET rest/version - Detect the supported API version range from the server
• POST rest/login-sessions - Authenticate and obtain a session token
• GET rest/server-hardware - Fetch server hardware inventory (paginated, with full sub-resource expansion)
• GET rest/licenses - Fetch licenses applied to servers (only when Fetch licenses is enabled)
• GET rest/hardware-compliance - Fetch firmware baseline compliance of servers (only when Fetch firmware baseline compliance is enabled)
• GET rest/server-profiles - Fetch the server profile applied to each server (only when Fetch server profiles is enabled)
• GET rest/server-hardware/*/firmware - Fetch the installed firmware components of each server (only when Fetch server firmware inventory is enabled)
• GET rest/racks - Fetch the rack each server is mounted in (only when Fetch racks is enabled)
• GET rest/firmware-drivers - Fetch firmware baselines (only when Fetch firmware baselines is enabled)
• GET rest/storage-systems, GET rest/storage-pools, GET rest/storage-volumes - Fetch storage systems, with their storage pools and volumes (only when Fetch storage systems is enabled)
• GET rest/rack-managers - Fetch rack managers (only when Fetch rack managers is enabled)

Required Permissions

The user account supplied in User Name must have read access to Server Hardware resources in HPE OneView.

Axonius only performs read operations via the HPE OneView REST API. A read-only role with access to the following resource category is sufficient:

• Server Hardware — required to fetch device inventory

Additional read access is required only when the corresponding setting is enabled in the adapter's advanced settings:

• Licenses — required when Fetch licenses is enabled
• Hardware Compliance — required when Fetch firmware baseline compliance is enabled
• Firmware Baselines — required when Fetch firmware baselines is enabled
• Server Profiles — required when Fetch server profiles is enabled
• Racks — required when Fetch racks is enabled
• Rack Managers — required when Fetch rack managers is enabled
• Storage Systems, Storage Pools, and Storage Volumes — required when Fetch storage systems is enabled

Consult your HPE OneView administrator to confirm the minimum built-in role that grants read access to Server Hardware in your environment.

Connecting the Adapter in Axonius

Navigate to the Adapters page, search for HPE OneView, and click on the adapter tile.
Click Add Connection.

To connect the adapter in Axonius, provide the following parameters:

Required Parameters

1. Host Name or IP Address - The hostname or IP address of the HPE OneView server.
2. User Name and Password - The credentials for a user account that has the permissions to fetch assets.

Optional Parameters

1. Authentication Login Domain - Specify an optional directory used for authentication.
2. API Version (default 1200) - Enter an API Version.
3. Verify SSL - Select whether to verify the SSL certificate of the server against the CA database inside of Axonius. For more details, see SSL Trust & CA Settings.
4. HTTPS Proxy - Enter an HTTPS proxy address to connect the adapter to a proxy instead of directly connecting it to the domain.
5. HTTPS Proxy User Name - Enter the user name to use when connecting to the value supplied in Host Name or IP Address via the value supplied in HTTPS Proxy.
6. HTTPS Proxy Password - Enter the password to use when connecting to the server using the HTTPS Proxy.

To learn about additional optional/common adapter connection parameters, see Adding a New Adapter Connection.

Advanced Settings

1. Set device manufacturer to HPE when not reported by the chassis (default: disabled) - Select this option to set the device manufacturer to HPE for devices where the chassis does not report a manufacturer.
2. Fetch server profiles (default: disabled) - Select this option to add the server profile applied to each server (GET /rest/server-profiles).
3. Fetch server firmware inventory (default: disabled) - Select this option to add the installed firmware components of each server (GET /rest/server-hardware/*/firmware).
4. Fetch racks (default: disabled) - Select this option to add the rack each server is mounted in (GET /rest/racks).
5. Fetch firmware baselines (default: disabled) - Select this option to add the firmware baseline referenced by the server profile of each server, and by each rack manager (GET /rest/firmware-drivers).
6. Fetch storage systems (default: disabled) - Select this option to fetch storage systems as devices, with their storage pools and volumes (GET /rest/storage-systems, /rest/storage-pools, and /rest/storage-volumes).
7. Fetch rack managers (default: disabled) - Select this option to fetch rack managers as devices (GET /rest/rack-managers).
8. Fetch licenses (default: disabled) - Select this option to add the licenses applied to each server: Product, License Type, State, Total Capacity, Available Capacity, Expiry Date, Applied Date, Product Number, Product Description, EON, and Sales Order. If the user account cannot read licenses, the fetch continues without license data.
9. Fetch firmware baseline compliance (default: disabled) - Select this option to add the firmware compliance of each server against its applicable baselines.
