Registering information in CMDB
After changing virtual server, the command has been executed to register changed server information in CMDB. If you create new automated operation process with using this template, do not delete the following operation components and node.
Obtain detail information (Operation components: "Get detailed virtual server information")
IP address and OS type which needed for executing command to register information in CMDB.
Start virtual server (Operation components : "Start virtual server")
It is necessary to start virtual server to collect information registered in CMDB.
Register logical node (Operation component: "Register logical node")
Register the updated information about the virtual server in CMDB.
