After you create and configure machine blueprints, you can select a blueprint in the Configure vCAC Blueprint to Provision Machine to Pool workflow, the Advanced Desktop Allocation workflow, or the Self-Service Advanced Desktop Allocation workflow.
Prerequisites
- Run the Orchestrator workflows described in Prerequisites for Creating Machines in vRealize Automation.
- Log in to vRealize Automation as a tenant administrator and verify that an endpoint has been created for vRealize Orchestrator and that its priority is set to 1.
On the Infrastructure tab, go to , verify that vRealize Orchestrator appears in the list of endpoints, and verify that the endpoint has the VMware.VCenterOrchestrator.Priority property set to 1. For complete instructions, see the "Create a vRealize Orchestrator Endpoint" topic in the vRealize Automation Machine Extensibility document, available from the documentation page at https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Automation/index.html.
- If you plan to make action buttons available on the Items tab of vRealize Automation, so that delegated administrators can use action buttons to perform pool management tasks, perform the tasks described in Making Desktop and Pool Actions Available in vRealize Automation.
- Familiarize yourself with the Information as a Service (IaaS) concepts and the process of creating machine blueprints and creating services and entitlements for them. See the vRealize Automation documentation, available from the documentation page at https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Automation/index.html.
