Create a Blueprint for Cloning from an
HP Server Automation Template
A tenant administrator or business group manager creates a blueprint that enables the deployment of
HP Server Automation software jobs on machines provisioned from it.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to vRealize Automation as a tenant administrator or business group manager.
n
Obtain the following information from your fabric administrator:
n
An HP Server Automation template. See Preparing an HP Server Automation Template for
Cloning.
n
The clone blueprint that you want to integrate with HP Server Automation.
n
Optionally, information about the custom properties and values to be applied to all machines
provisioned from the blueprint. See Chapter 8 Custom Properties for HP Server Automation
Integration.
Note A fabric administrator can create a property group by using the property set
HPSABuildMachineProperties, which allows HP Server Automation integration in provisioning
by using a boot image, or HPSASoftwareProperties, which allows HP Server Automation
integration in software deployment. These property groups makes it easier for tenant
administrators and business group managers to include this information in their blueprints.
n
If a policy is to be applied to all machines provisioned from the blueprint, you must include the
custom property Vrm.Software.IdNNNN where NNNN is a number from 1000 to 1999, and the
value is set to the name of the policy, for example Windows_ISMtool.
n
The name of the customization specification to be added to the blueprint. See Preparing an HP
Server Automation Template for Cloning.
n
For information on how to create a blueprint for cloning by using the template and customization
specification provided to you by your fabric administrator, see IaaS Configuration for Virtual Platforms.
