4 Insight Orchestration provisioning and allocation
Insight Orchestration lifecycle operations
Insight Orchestration covers the IT lifecycle, from the initial design of system configurations to the
ultimate repurposing of assets. It enables IT resource request to be handled in a systemic manner
than leverages standard configurations, self service provisioning tools, and automated approval
processes.
Insight Orchestration executes the following infrastructure lifecycle management operations:
•
Create service
Automatically provision infrastructure based on the specification in a service template, using
resources allocated from assigned pools
•
Delete service
Automatically de-provision existing infrastructure and free the resources for use in other services
•
Add servers to group
Add servers to an existing infrastructure service, allocating and provisioning them
•
Add data disk to group
Add data disks to an existing infrastructure service, allocating the disks and attaching them
to the appropriate servers
•
Activate
Registers the VM with the VM host
•
Deactivate
Unregisters the VM from the VM host
•
Deactivate servers in group
Deactivate physical servers
•
