When consumers of the service log in to their vRealize Automation consoles, they see the service you
created, Create a test user, on the Catalog tab. They can request the catalog item you created and
included in the service, Create a user in a group. After they create the user, they can change the user
password.
Create and Publish an Action to Migrate a Virtual Machine
By using Advanced Service Designer, you can create and publish a resource action to extend the
operations that consumers can perform on IaaS-provisioned vSphere virtual machines.
In this scenario, you create a resource action for quick migration of a vSphere virtual machine.
Prerequisites
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a service architect.
Procedure
1 Create a Resource Action to Migrate a vSphere Virtual Machine
You can create a custom resource action to allow the consumers to migrate vSphere virtual
machines after they provision the vSphere virtual machines with IaaS.
2 Publish the Action for Migrating a vSphere Virtual Machine
To use the Quick migration of virtual machine resource action as a post-provisioning operation, you
must publish it.
You created and published a vRealize Orchestrator workflow as a resource action. You can navigate to
Administration > Catalog Management > Actions and see the Quick migration of virtual machine
resource action in the list of actions. You can assign an icon to the resource action. See Assign an Icon to
a Resource Action.
What to do next
Business group managers and tenant administrators can include the Quick migration of virtual machine
resource action in an entitlement. For more information about how to create and publish IaaS blueprints
for virtual platforms, see IaaS Configuration for Virtual Platforms.
