5 Deployment procedure

To make the backup service available to your customers, the following steps should be performed:

a) Configuring the endpoint. This step prepares the infrastructure to work with the backup

service application.

b) Importing the package. This step makes the APS package of the backup service available in

Operations Automation.

c) Creating an application instance. This step makes the backup service appear as an

Operations Automation application.

d) Creating resource types. This step defines a list of resources that will be provided by the

service, such as storage space.

e) Creating a service template. This step binds the list of resources that was created in the

previous step to the backup service. This step also sets up the look of the backup service

interface.

f) Creating a service plan. This step sets up the amounts and prices that are associated with the

service.

You may use one of the deployment procedures:

 If you already have an endpoint (for example, for other APS packages), set up the service

automatically.

 If you do not have an endpoint, set up the service manually. You can also use this way when

having problems with automatic configuration.
