Overview
HP Moonshot Servers are designed and tailored for specific workloads to deliver optimum performance. These support a wide range of complex IT demands right from cloud based applications to Social Media, Big Data and Mobility. HP Moonshot is the world’s first software defined web server that will accelerate innovation while delivering breakthrough efficiency and scale.
HP Cloud OS for Moonshot is an enterprise ready product used to manage Moonshot Chassis, discover Moonshot Servers from the managed Moonshot Chassis, provision the given workload based on Moonshot Server capabilities such as Static Web, HDI, Online Gaming, etc. It also enables the Cloud Administrator to setup multiple project sharing across the discovered Moonshot Servers.
The IT Administrators need to plan, prepare and follow a defined process to successfully setup, configure and install the HP Cloud OS for Moonshot.
Purpose of this document
The document provides comprehensive instructions on the post installation step up, process and details that are required to be followed after installing HP Cloud OS for Moonshot. The document is designed to help different users to navigate through the Administration Dashboard which is visible once the Cloud environment is setup. It provides detailed instructions on the different options that are available in the dashboard for the user to customize the environment.
Target Audience
This document is primarily designed for the users of the Administration Dashboard.

HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Administration Dashboard Help Version 1.0
The Administration Dashboard
The HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Administration Dashboard is the interface you’ll use to manage your cloud after the cloud environment is created in the Operational Dashboard.
You can access the Administration Dashboard via different user roles to perform the tasks assigned to each role. Apart from the basic functions, such as creating projects, users, roles, resource pools, and topology templates, HP Cloud OS for Moonshot provides two major features to enhance your cloud experience:
Moonshot Management Workload Service
Moonshot Management
Managing the IT resources in a scalable, dynamic cloud is challenging. To have a simplified and enhanced cloud management experience, HP Cloud OS for Moonshot provides a Single Pane of Glass (SPOG) view with the Chassis Manager.
The Chassis Manager caters to three important requirements of a Cloud Administrator.
1. Display an overall perspective of the datacenter, hosted servers and health of chassis in the
Datacenter View
2. Provide detailed information of individual chassis host and its health status in the Single Chassis
View
3. Server management with the Power On/Off actions and Maintenance action
Datacenter View
It provides an overview of the hosted chassis in a datacenter. In this view, Cloud Administrator is able to add/delete chassis, which then goes on to discover all cartridges and nodes of a chassis. At a glance, the user is able to comprehend the datacenter health and view critical events that need immediate attention.
Single Chassis View It provides in-depth information of a selected chassis. In this view, the user is able to grasp the overall
structure and health of the contained cartridges and nodes. A drill-down to individual cartridges or nodes provides detailed information in terms of configuration,
power status, health status, workload information etc. Event information at individual chassis level helps to monitor chassis events. The user is also able to perform power Off/On operations on individual cartridges and nodes. For more details on working with Moonshot Chassis, refer to the Moonshot Management section.
Workload Service
In Cloud Enterprise IT, a typical goal is to deploy a composite service, which is comprised of different application components that cater to different aspects of a service. Each application will have its own computing pattern defining its specific workload and hence needs specialized deployment of infrastructure elements. Namely: Compute, Storage and Network. The Workload service aims to facilitate the end user in deployment of a composite service in user-friendly manner. For details on creating and provisioning a workload, refer to the Workloads section.
