Configure Machine Templates for Service Provisioning

CA Server Automation enables you to select VM templates for specified operating systems. Service templates can then use these templates to automate the provisioning of the machines that are required during service provisioning.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Resources, and in the Explore tree, select OnDemand Services.
2. In the OnDemand Services page, click the tool icon for the vCenter Server containing the templates to use.

   The Machine Template Configuration panel opens.

3. Select an operating system from the list, select a Template from the list of available VM templates, and click Set As Default. Repeat this step for each operating system that requires VM templates.

   CA Server Automation associates the selected VM template with the specified operating system.

4. (Optional) Click an operating system group folder to view and manage the list of all VM template settings for that OS family.
5. Click OK to exit Machine Template Configuration.
