Create vRealize Automation Blueprints for Clone Deployment or Create and Configure vRealize
Automation Blueprint for Linked Clone Deployment.
Create vRealize Automation Blueprints for Clone Deployment
When you create a custom vRealize Automation blueprint, you can allow a clone deployment to provision
Application Services Windows-based or Linux-based applications and services to the VMware vSphere
environment.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that vRealize Automation 6.1 or later is installed and configured.
n
Verify that the vRealize Automation business group that you plan to use with Application Services is
created.
n
Verify that a vCenter Server virtual machine is available for the vRealize Automation blueprint to
create a clone deployment.
You must have the customization specification name available for a Windows-based
vRealize Automation blueprint. See Prepare vCenter Server Windows Virtual Machine Templates.
n
Familiarize yourself with how to create a blueprint in vRealize Automation. See Iaas Configuration for
Virtual Platforms.
Procedure
1 Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a tenant administrator.
2 Select New Blueprint > Virtual > vSphere (vCenter).
3 Complete the information on the Blueprint Information tab.
4 On the Build Information tab, select the Clone option from the Action drop-down menu.
5 Click Clone from to browse and select the vCenter Server template you created for use in
vRealize Automation.
6 For a Windows-based vRealize Automation blueprint, enter the customization specification name in
the Customization spec text box.
You created the customization specification as part of the vCenter Server virtual machine template
preparation.
