Workflow 77
The Retarget Workflow asks for details such as Source ID , Targ et ID and
so on. For more information, see Workflow Inputs.
6 If the source type is Host then the workflow uses the Get Object (Source
Host) to retrieve the persona running on the host otherwise the
Source Id
(entered by user) is used as the source persona ID.
NOTE: Irrespective of the Persona ID being discovered automatically by the
Workflow or manually entered by the user, the Return Persona ID exposes
only one Persona ID for the objects that are further executed in the workflow.
The Stop Persona objects stops the persona and it waits for the Stop activity
to complete.
7 Based on the Targ et Type specified the persona is started on the Target
Host.
•If the
Targ et Type is specified as Hypervisor Host (1) then the
GetObject (HyperV Host) finds the hypervisor object which is
running on that host. Then
GetObject (VMs) retrieves all the
available VMs from the hypervisor. Finally the
Start Persona starts the
persona on the first available VM.
•If the
Targ et Type is specified as Host ID (2) then the persona is
started on the host directly.
NOTE: In both the scenarios the Persona is retargeted only if it is
NetBootable. Window Event Logs is raised for all the important events like
success and failure of a persona and so on.
Workflow – Troubleshooting
One of the SCOM object returns failure
Make sure the connection with SCOM is fine by doing a test connection in
SCOM connection dialog. Also make sure proper connection is selected on
the individual object.
Query WMI object fails
Make sure the target system hostname is resolvable by DNS also make sure
the opalis user has WMI access in the target server. If not then edit the object
and enter proper credentials which has WMI access.
