I am trying to automate my work of creating reservations. I am leveraging the vco plug-in from flow grab (here) to do the basic creation of reservations. With the plug-in i am able to create the base reservation, add the storage to the reservation and add the network mappings to the reservation. I am missing just a few items i have been trying to create my own workflow with no progress to add the reservation policy. Also, as a smaller item i need to setup the alerting tab. How do i set the reservation policy for a reservation.
I am doing this as a small step of a greater workflow i am creating to create the entire business group in an automated fashion.
Steps in my busniess group creation master workflow:
- normalize business group name
- create ad groups for group manger and users
- create business group
- open helpdesk tickets to mail enable active directory groups.==aSync-Process==
- assign ad groups and email to business group
- create separate entitlements for Linux and Windows devices
- add actions and blueprint to entitlements.
- create reservation for each data center ==> flow grab workflow
- assign storage to each reservation ==> flow grab workflow
- assign networks appropriate to the data center ==> flow grab workflow
- assign reservation policy to the reservation ----- This is where i am stuck ------
- Create custom group in vrops for the business group based on tags assign to requested machines.
- Send managers cheat sheet to Group managers
- Send users cheat sheet to the users
