Chapter 1 Flow of Setup for Resource Orchestrator

This chapter explains the overall flow of setup when using Resource Orchestrator.

Setup operations when using Resource Orchestrator are performed by the users below.

Infrastructure Administrators

Infrastructure administrators manage ICT resources such as servers, storage, networks, and images.

They collectively manage ICT resources in resource pools, and perform addition, configuration modification, and maintenance of ICT resources when necessary.

In Resource Orchestrator, the following roles can be assigned to infrastructure administrators:
