56.1 Completing Pre-Build Configuration Tasks

Roles that Can Perform This Task: Cloud Administrator, Build Administrator

The pre-build configuration task pauses the workflow process to give you an opportunity to perform any configuration required before the business service workloads are built. This might be configuration that you complete in the Cloud Manager console, such as configuring the Windows settings (Administrator account password, computer name, product license key, and registered name) or remote console password for one of the workloads. Or, it might be a task that you need to perform at the Cloud Manager Orchestration Server or in your hypervisor tools.

  1. On the main navigation bar, click Tasks, then click the Unclaimed tab.

  2. Select the task (the subject is Pre-build configuration of a new Business Service or Pre-build configuration of a changed Business Service).

    If there is configuration that must be completed for the business service in the Cloud Manager console, the Complete action is not available and an asterisk (*) appears next to it. You can mouse over the asterisk to view the remaining configuration requirements.

  3. If you want to claim the task so that others cannot work on it, click Claim.

    Claimed tasks are moved to your My Tasks list.

  4. Complete any configuration required for the workloads:

    • Cloud Manager console tasks: Select the configuration task, then click the Review action to display the task. Select a workload that needs to be configured, then click Edit. Configure the required settings and save the workload.

    • External tasks: Complete the tasks.

  5. Mark the task as complete:

    • If you claimed the task, it is your My Tasks list. Select the task, then click Complete.

    • If you did not claim the task, it is in the Unclaimed list. Select the task, then click Complete.
