15.5 Completing Pre-Build Configuration Tasks

After a business service request receives both Administrator and Sponsor approval, a Pre-build configuration task is sent to you and any other Build Administrators assigned to the business service’s organization or business group. Cloud Administrators also receive the task.

The task pauses the provisioning workflow to give you an opportunity to perform any pre-build configuration tasks for the workloads. This might be a task 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)

    If there are configuration tasks 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 tasks.

  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 pre-build configuration tasks 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 in 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.
