• “To reorder steps” (page 56)
• “To edit the parameters associated with a step” (page 56)
• “To delete a step” (page 56)
Procedure 27 To add or edit a step
1. From the Edit OS Build Plan screen, select Add steps or in a step row.
2. Select the type of step you’d like to add from the Type menu. Selections are:
• Run script – a script in the appliance database will be run.
• Deploy package – a package in the appliance database will be placed on the target
server and decompressed (unzipped).
• Capture configuration file – a text file from the target server will be captured and stored
in the appliance database.
• Deploy configuration file – a configuration file will be placed on the target server so it
may be used for the remainder of the installation.
The selection in the Type menu controls what is displayed in the Step table.
If you select Capture configuration file, there will be no Step table; you only need to specify
the full path name of the configuration file that will be captured from the target server.
3. Select the step to add. You may type the item name, or portion of the name, to search through
the list of available items, or you may select from the Step table. You may only select one item
at a time to add, however you may use the Add+ button to continue adding steps.
If there is a description for the item selected, it will be displayed in the Description text field.
If you select Capture configuration file, there will be no Step table; you only need to specify
the full path name of the configuration file that will be captured from the target server.
