Building Template Overview

The Template Builder page allows you to build a customized template by configuring both physical and

virtual components. On the Template Builder page, you can set the component properties. For example:

you can create a template that just provisions physical servers with OS on them, or creates storage

volumes, creates clusters or VMs, or deploy applications on VMs.

This page displays the graphical representation of the topology created within a particular template.

NOTE: Initially, a newly created or a cloned template appears in a Draft state on the Template page

and remains in the same state until published.

The following component types can be configured in a template:

• Storage

• Switch

• Server

• Cluster

• Virtual Machine

• Application

NOTE

While building a template, it is recommended to first provision the physical resources, then

configure virtual resources and lastly configure application settings to be deployed on the

resources.

On this page, you can:

• Build and Publish a template

• Edit Template name

• Delete a Template

• Import a Template

• Deploy a Service

NOTE: The

Deploy a Service functionality is applicable only on published templates.
