Define vRealize® Blueprints and Actions
Use Table Management in the CSM Desktop Client to define imported vRealize® blueprints and actions. When you define the blueprint, you provide midpoint values and have the option to provide a description. When you define the actions, you must select the Request Action One-Step for each VM Action record; the One-Step Action determines the appropriate second day action by using JSON to send the action ID to vRealize® and then interpreting and executing the JSON when it returns from vRealize®.
To define mApp Solution blueprints and actions:
- Open the Table Management interface.
- In the Type drop-down, select VM Blueprint.
- In the Grid, select a
blueprint.
A VM Purpose form opens. The following information is auto-populated based on the imported vRealize® blueprint: VM Blueprint, Blueprint available to the following Departments, Minimum size specifications, Mid size specifications, and Maximum size specifications.
