This section describes the items below concerning the system deployment Automated Operation Process provided by the operation template for virtual environments.
Processing overview
Changing input values set in the Automated Operation Process
Information entered in screens
The Automated Operation Process that deploys systems performs processing in the following sequence to build a virtual server system:
Building the virtual server
Sending completion notification by mail
Change the Automated Operation Process to suit your operations.
Changing the number of virtual servers targeted for operations
The Automated Operation Process is formed such that each process performs operations in parallel for two virtual servers.
To change the number of servers for which the operation is performed, change the Automated Operation Process as described in 2.9 Changing the Number of Virtual Servers Targeted for an Operation.
The operation components shown below are positioned in the Automated Operation Process.
Name | Name of operation component to be used | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
Build virtual server 1-2 | Build virtual server | Building virtual servers |
Completion notification 1-2 | Send emails | Posting the results of building the virtual servers |
The following settings are required for the Automated Operation Process:
User-defined attributes
Operation component input information
User-defined attributes
Values must be set in the user-defined attributes of the Automated Operation Process. Enter values as shown below.
User-defined attribute name | Input value | Use |
|---|---|---|
smtp_server | Host name or IP address of the mail send (SMTP) server | Used as the hostname parameter value of the operation component that sends mail |
from_address | Error mail send source address | Used as the fromaddress parameter value of the operation component that sends mail |
Operation component input information
A parameter value must be set as input information for the following operation component positioned in the Automated Operation Process:
Build virtual server 1-2
Also, if required, set parameter values as input information for the following operation component:
Completion notification 1-2
Enter parameter values as shown below.
Operation component name | Parameter name | Input value |
|---|---|---|
Build virtual server 1-2 | serverpassword | Same value as the manager password set in the image to be used for building the virtual servers (*1) |
Completion notification 1-2 | smtpusername (*2) | User name for SMTP authentication to the host of the mail send (SMTP) server |
smtppassword (*2) | User password for SMTP authentication to the host of the mail send (SMTP) server |
*1:
Make the manager password the same in all images to be used.
To use different passwords in each image, enter the password from the request screen. Or, change the parameter name at each server.
*2:
Set this parameter in environments that require authentication to the SMTP server when mail is sent.
