Imaging Services
CA Server Automation can provision new physical and virtual computers and also reimage existing resources. Physical computer imaging is available for servers that use Windows and Linux operating systems. Provisioning functions let you clone, migrate, configure, and change the properties of VMs.
Imaging services integrate with and use the following technologies to perform provisioning operations:
- VMware vCenter Server integration for VM provisioning.
- Hyper-V integration for VM provisioning that is based on local templates on Hyper-V servers out of the box.
- Integration with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manger (SCVMM) for reuse of existing SCVMM image libraries.
- Solaris Zones integration for zones provisioning.
- Citrix XenServer integration for VM provisioning.
- VMware vCloud Director integration for VM provisioning.
- IBM AIX Provisioning with NIM
- Amazon Elastic Cloud (EC2) for image provisioning in the cloud
- CA Software Delivery OSIM for imaging Windows and Linux servers
- JumpStart servers for Solaris server imaging
- Rapid Server Imaging (RSI) for imaging dissimilar hardware
Events are generated for the following Imaging services actions:
- Submitting an imaging job to the imaging server
- Changes to imaging job status
- Discovering the target computer after the imaging job succeeds.
