Hello and welcome to this presentation in which you see how to deploy a template, as
a self service user, with Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.
Before a self service user can deploy templates and assemblies, the self service administrator
has to prepare the software library, then prepare templates and assemblies that can
be published and shared with self service users.
When adequate resources are provided to self service users, they can then request servers
in the self service portal. The servers are deployed from templates and assemblies for
which the users have permission to access. Now, let's deploy a template.
In this session I'm logged in to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Self Service
Portal as a self service user. To start the template deployment process,
click Request Servers above the list of the 10 last requested servers.
The new server request sequence begins with the general page. Here, search for the template
by clicking the magnifying glass next to the source input.
The source software selection dialog box appears, and here, select the template named OL7u6-SM-Template.
Click Select. The name appears in the source input, so click
next. The deployment configuration page appears.
Here, you can make a number of configuration changes for the request.
Edit the default name to something shorter and more recognizable. Here, edit the name
down to the simple: OL7u6-SM. Check the box to enable high availability.
This setting will restart the VM on another hardware server if the hardware server hosting
the VM fails. Click on the small triangle next to the Network
label to edit the configuration of any network interfaces. Select the interface on the list
- here, eth0 - and click edit. In the edit network dialog box, retain the
Quality of Service setting of Any network type. Click the small magnifying glass next
to the Backend Network to change the value. In the Network list that appears, click on
52_PVI, then click Select. The new backend network value is set, so click OK.
To re-configure the template storage, click on the small triangle next to the Storage
label. You see two devices for the template. We can
change the storage, and memory and number of CPUs by selecting a Server Size. Click
the memu and select he Small option. In addition to the changes in memory and CPUs,
an additional disk of about 228GB appears. We don't want that device, but we want to
keep the memory and CPU settings. So, click the Server Size menu again and select Custom.
The disk is removed from the configuration, but the changes to memory and CPU remain.
There are a couple useful features for future deployments available here.
Enable the check box to save the server as a template when the server expires. When checked,
this feature causes Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to save the server - as configured
- as a template. So if you need the server later, this is an effective way to take it
out of service so there are no charges accrued. You can also repeat this configuration in
the future, from a different template. Note the Save as Deployment Plan button. If
it is anticipated that there will be multiple similar deployments in the future, you can
select to save the current settings in a deployment plan.
For now, with the current settings, click Next.
On the Schedule page, retain the current settings, which enable the server to start immediately
and for for about a year. Click Next.
The review page presents the settings on one screen. With everything set, click Finish.
The Self service portal home page appears with a confirmation message at the top. Dismiss
the message by clicking the small x in the upper right corner.
Refresh the page by clicking the circular arrow in the upper right corner. Note the
status has changed to Executing for the most recent of the 10 last requests.
Select the latest request at the top of the 10 latest requests list and continue to monitor
progress by refreshing the display. After several minutes, refresh the display
and see that the status has changed to Successful and the server now appears at the top of the
list of the 10 last requested servers. Click the server name to see server details.
This ends the presentation. Thank you for watching.
