Creating Blueprints for
HP Server Automation 7
The type of blueprint you create depends on how you want to enable HP Server Automation integration.
You need to create a blueprint that includes all of the information required for machine provisioning and
the information required for HP Server Automation integration for either of the following integration
methods:
n
Provisioning by using a system from which HP Server Automation deploys images.
n
Provisioning by cloning from a template that is prepared for HP Server Automation.
You can optionally identify the HP Server Automation policies to make available in vRealize Automation.
Machine requestors can select from among these policies to install software on the requested machine,
or you can specify HP Server Automation policies in the blueprint to be applied to every machine that is
provisioned from that blueprint.
This chapter includes the following topics:
n
Create a Virtual Blueprint for Creating from an HP Server Automation Boot Image
