After successfully completing a Create Service operation, the provisioned Insight Orchestration
infrastructure service is available for the duration of the lease period and you can access the servers
through the network.
A Create Service operation fails when:
•
Resources are not available to allocate
•
SAN administrator cannot create the disks
•
Insight Orchestration administrator rejects the request
Delete service operation
When deleting a service, the Delete operation automatically deprovisions an existing infrastructure
and frees the resources for use in other services.
When executing the operation, Insight Orchestration:
•
Validates the request
•
Powers off the servers
•
Deletes the virtual machine or server blade profile
•
Scrubs the boot and data disks
•
Deallocates the servers (server blades and virtual machine hosts)
•
Deallocates the networks and IP addresses
•
Deallocates the boot and data disks
•
Executes custom actions
•
Sends notifications
After successfully completing a Delete operation, the Insight Orchestration infrastructure service is
destroyed, deprovisioning all server, network, and storage resources making them available for
new Create Service, Add servers to group, and Add data disk to group operations.
If deprovisioning fails, the infrastructure service is still deleted. When this occurs, the Insight
Orchestration administrator must manually clean up the servers or disks.
Add server to group operation
During an Add server to group operation, Insight Orchestration:
•
Validates the request
•
Allocates the servers (server blades or virtual machine hosts)
