Template editor; see Figure 11-14.

Image Files
Used if you want to provision the resource. Each tab allows you to select files from the newly-created
repositories; for more information about repositories, see Chapter 9, “Repository Management.”
The following menu options are available on each tab:
• Add—Before you type the filename, you can add an image file or configuration by clicking Add in
the Properties view. A list of preassociated files are listed. You must then select from that list of
files. If the list is empty, then file associations must be made in the repository definition. In all
cases, the repository must be created, and elements must be discovered, imported, and
associated with a resource type.
Note: You can click the Show All Image Files check box while selecting an image file. This action
displays all image files provisioned in the Active System Manager system (both associated and
non-associated).
• Remove—Removes the file from the resource type for this Template.
• Open—Opens and modifies the configuration files while adding it into the Template.
• Up and Down—If you have at least two files, you can rearrange the order in which the files will be
applied on the resource by the Active System Manager software.
For more information about repositories, see Chapter 9, “Repository Management.”
For information about setting up provisioning parameters, see Chapter 8, “Using Inventory.”
