Running Actions for Provisioned
Resources 12
Items that you provisioned using vRealize Automation might have actions that you can run on those
items. The configured actions that are available for a provisioned items appear in the Actions menu for
the selected resource on the Items tab.
The actions that are available for a provisioned resource depend on the type of resource, how the action
was configured and made available for provisioned items, and the operational state of the item.
If the item was provisioned using an IaaS machine blueprint, the list of available actions is determined by
what was selected on the Actions tab when the blueprint was created, and then by what is applicable
based on machine type or state.
If the item was provisioned using an Advanced Services blueprint, the resource actions must be created,
published, and entitled in the same service that is used to provision the item. The list of available actions
is determined by the item type and the current state of the item.
The available actions for an item that was provisioned as an IaaS machine might also include Advanced
Services resource actions if the actions are mapped to the item.

You can perform actions on a provisioned machine relative to its status as a Virtual, Physical, or Cloud
machine.
The options you see on the Action menu for your provisioned machine include actions that were specified
on the machine's blueprint, and might include custom menu operations created by your service architects.
You only see options that your tenant administrator or business group manager entitled you to use.
For information about actions, see Foundations and Concepts. For information about creating resource
actions to provide users with custom menu operations, see Advanced Service Design.
