16.4 Completing Configuration Tasks

As a Cloud Administrator, you can complete both pre-build configuration and post-build configuration tasks.

16.4.1 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.

16.4.2 Completing Post-Build Configuration Tasks

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

The post-build configuration task pauses the provisioning workflow to give you an opportunity to perform any post-build configuration for the business service workloads. You must complete the configuration (if any) and then mark the task as completed to continue the workflow process.

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

  2. If you want to claim the task so that no others can work on it, select the task, then click Claim.

    Claimed tasks are moved to your My Tasks list.

  3. If you want to review the business service request, select the task (the subject is Post-build configuration of a new Business Service or Post-build configuration of a changed Business Service), then click Review.

  4. Complete any configuration required for the workloads.

  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.
