Configure Blueprint Actions
Use blueprint actions and entitlements together to maintain detailed control over provisioned machines.
Entitlements control which machine operations specific users can access. Blueprint actions control which
machine operations can be performed on machines provisioned from a blueprint. For example, if you
disable the option to reprovision machines created from a blueprint, then the option to reprovision a
machine created from the blueprint does not appear for any users. If you enable the reprovision machine
operation, then users who are entitled to reprovision machines can reprovision machines created from
this blueprint.
Note The options that appear on the Actions tab depend on your platform and any customizations
made to your vRealize Automation instance.
Prerequisites
Add Required Properties to a WIM Blueprint.
Procedure
1 Click the Actions tab.
2 (Optional) Select the check boxes for each machine option to enable for machines provisioned from
this blueprint.
3 Click OK.
Your blueprint is saved in draft state.
What to do next
Publish your blueprint to make it available as a catalog item. See Publish a Blueprint.
Create a Blueprint for SCCM Provisioning
You can provision a machine and then pass control to an SCCM task sequence to boot from an ISO
image, deploy a Windows operating system, and install the vRealize Automation guest agent.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a tenant administrator or business group manager.
n
Gather the following information from your fabric administrator:
a The name of the collection containing the task sequence.
b The fully qualified domain name of the SCCM server on which the collection containing the
sequence resides.
