Configure Platform and Resources

To enable CA Server Automation to provision application stacks, specify the environment resources available to host services.

CA Server Automation supports service provisioning VMware vCenter Server.

Follow these steps to configure the platform and validate resources in the resource pool

1. Click Administration, and select Platforms in the menu.
2. Select the target platform--for example, VMware vCenter Server--and provide the vCenter Server information
3. After the platform is configured, switch to the Resource Pools pane and edit the default resource pool to validate the automatic resource assignment.

Note: CA Server Automation creates OnDemand Resources resource pools by default, and assigns the pool to the default organization unit Service Administrators. After platform information is configured, resources are assigned to the default pool automatically.
