1. On-demand—VMFS Datastore Provision TBD Per Jerry Ness, need more detail around the
missing task that a VMFS datastore LUN for the GOLD images must be initially created on the
storage before the logical templates can be run.
This orchestration can be executed on-demand when the session is in a Running state.
2. Setup—Configures the ESXi Servers using PXE Boot
This orchestration executes when template provisioning starts and the session is in the Setting
Up state.
3. Teardown—Cleanup-Orchestration
This orchestration executes when template provisioning start and session is in Setting-up state.
4.4 Additional Storage for Cluster or Host
For additional VMFS storage or datastore need on a cluster or standalone ESXi host reserved through
the Active System Manager, you can execute on-demand orchestration from a Running session.
For executing the on demand orchestration, open the session by double-clicking it. On the session,
right click and select the VMFS Datastore Provisioning orchestration for execution.
Figure 73. VMFS Datastore Provision
When executed, orchestration performs the following sequence of operations:-
 Creates a new volume on EqualLogic storage.
 Allows access to specific cluster or standalone ESXi hosts, as applicable.
 Creates a VMFS datastore on a cluster or standalone ESXI hosts, as applicable.
