To configure self-service deployment using VMM, Service Manager, and Orchestrator, you
need to perform the following general steps:
1.
Create an Orchestrator runbook that takes inputs to create a VM. At a minimum this
would involve the Create VM From Template Orchestrator Runbook activity, but more
complex runbooks might extract more information about the VM, the template, and
the Private Cloud to which the VM is deployed. You use the Initialize Data activity to
collect parameters to be used with the runbook.
In Service Manager, create a runbook automation activity template, ensuring that the
template is configured as Ready For Automation. Configure the runbook automation
activity template to collect the parameters that will be used with the Orchestrator run-
book. For example, this might be the VM template name and the private cloud name.
2.
In Service Manager, create a service request template. In the template's Activities tab,
link the runbook automation activity that you configured, which leverages the Orches-
trator runbook that deploys the VM.
3.
Create a Request Offering and use it to collect the parameters from the person using
the request offering that will be passed to the Orchestrator runbook to perform VM
deployment.
4.
Create and publish a Service Offering that links the request offering. This will update
the Self-Service Portal. When complete, a user will use the portal to enter the param-
eters needed by the Orchestrator runbook to leverage VMM to deploy the requested
VM.
