How to run runbooks
Runbooks are Windows PowerShell scripts that provide automation. You can nd instruc
tions for running Service Management Automation
(SMA) runbooks throughout this guide. You can run them either through the Windows Azure Pack management portal for administrators,
or from an elevated Windows PowerShell session on the Console VM.
This guide typically includes instructions for how to run your runbooks through the portal. To do this:
1 Log on to the Console VM as a member of the <
Prex
>-Ops-Admins group, and open Internet Explorer by using the icon on the
taskbar.
2 On the
Favorites bar, click Azure Pack Admin.
3 In the navigation pane, click Automation.
4 On the
Automation page, click Runbooks.
5 To search for a runbook, click the lt
er (magnifying glass icon), and then type the rst part of the runbook name.
6 To run the runbook, you can do either of the following:
• If the runbook you want is already highlighted, click Start. If it is not highlighted, click anywhere in the row where the runbook is
list
ed, except for in the Name column, to highlight the runbook name. Then, click Start.
• Alternatively, click the runbook Name
. This opens the runbook details page. To run the runbook from the details page, click
Dashboard, and then click Start.
