Create service
To create a service from a template:
1. Select the Templates tab.
2. From the templates list, select the desired template and click Create Service.
3. In the Create Service From Template dialog, set or enter the desired options.
4. Click Submit.
During service creation, HP IO must generate unique server hostnames. In the Create Service
From Template
dialog, the Hostname Completion field specified the base part of the server
hostname. Hostname Completion has the following limitations:
• Server hostname length: 2–15 characters (15 is a Windows BIOS hostname limitation)
• Server hostname must begin with a letter and end with a number
• The remaining characters in the server hostname can be letters, numbers, or “-”, but cannot
include the following strings: “-TAC”,” -GATEWAY” or “-GW”.
Console access to deployed servers
Insight Orchestration supports console access to deployed servers from Insight Orchestration
console and Self Service Portal. Supported console types include Remote Desktop (RDP), telnet
and VM console to ESX VMs.
Limitations
Telnet and RDP access depend upon network connectivity from the client to deployed servers.
Servers deployed to non-routable networks cannot be accessed by telnet and RDP. Further, for
deployed servers that use DHCP, the server hostname must be resolvable for a console connection
to succeed.
VM console access depends upon network connectivity from the client to the ESX server that
hosts the deployed VM.
For Internet Explorer (IE) version 7 or later, telnet console must be enabled by editing the registry
on the client. See below for details.
