Users Guide

There are two sample synchronous scaleup service workflows:

• Scaleup service – Server: Scale up the service by adding more server components or resources. This workflow tracks the

status of the target Service, and it completes its run when the Service status is no longer in in_progress.

• Scaleup service – Storage: Scale up the service by adding more storage components or resources. This workflow tracks the

status of the target Service, and it completes its run when the Service status is no longer in in_progress.

Teardown service

There are two sample synchronous teardown service workflows:

• Teardown service – All: Delete the service selected (prompted during the workflow run) and remove all its resources. This

workflow tracks the existence of the target Service, and it completes its run when the Service no longer exists.

• Teardown service – Selectively: Removes the Service and all its resources selected by their type. This workflow tracks the

existence of the target Service, and it completes its run when the Service no longer exists. The SERVER and

VIRTUALMACHINE type components are automatically set for removal.

Actions

The actions provide elements that can be used to build workflow by mapping the ASM vRO Integration API methods. It also

provides actions that help configuring the vRO environment for managing the inventory objects. There are two groups of the

actions:

• com.dell.library.asm

• com.dell.library.asm.configuration

com.dell.library.asm

Actions in com.dell.library.asm

These actions helps in mapping of the API methods from the ASMAppliance. It is responsible for making REST to sync with the

ASM server:

addDuplicateServer

This is the action that calls the addDuplicateServer method of the ASMAppliance API object. It returns a service object that has the

updated information.

The addDuplicateServer(s) method cannot scale up the server(s) unless the target server for duplication is configured in this way:

• The server must be created with hardware settings that specify the server source to be server pool instead of manual entry.

• The duplicated servers must be provisioned from the same server pool from where the original server was pulled out.

addDuplicateStorage

The method, addDuplicateStorage, is called from the ASMAppliance API object. It returns a Service object that has updated

information.

DeployService

This action calls the deployTemplate method of the ASMAppliance API object. It returns a Service object that has been deployed.

getServices

This calls the getServices method from the ASMAppliance. An array of Service objects is returned.
