Hi all. We have a new vCO+vCD 5.1 environment setup in my organization and I want to setup a simple workflow to Instatiate X number of vApps from a chosen template.
I'm to total noob/beginner here. The library workflow "Instantiate vApp from Template" does exactly what I want it to do, but for just one vApp.
Any thoughts directions as to what high level steps I would need to take to customize that workflow to "loop" a certain number of times based on input?
It's easy enough to add a new input and presentation screen to capture the number from the user, but I really have no idea where to start on the loop.
One thing I want to avoid is for one full vApp to be created and started up and all tasks complete, and then it starts the next iteration of the loop (that would take forever). I'd prefer to instantiate the full number of vapps together and wait for them all to complete, and then move on to starting them all up at once and waiting for all the startups to complete.
Any thoughts or pointers on how to come at this? (again, total noob).
Thanks, in advance!
