Using your infrastructure architect privileges, you configure each of the Dukes Bank machine components to use the customization specification, template, and machine prefixes that you created for your environment.
About this task
This scenario configures the machine components to clone machines from the template you created in the vSphere Web Client. If you want to create space-efficient copies of a virtual machine based on a snapshot, the sample application also supports linked clones. Linked clones use a chain of delta disks to track differences from a parent machine, are provisioned quickly, reduce storage cost, and are ideal to use when performance is not a high priority.
Procedure
Results
You configured the Dukes Bank sample application blueprint for your environment and published the finished blueprint.
What to do next
Published blueprints do not appear to users in the catalog until you configure a catalog service, add the blueprint to a service, and entitle users to request your blueprint. See Checklist for Configuring the Service Catalog.
After you configure your Dukes Bank blueprint to display in the catalog, you can request to provision the sample application. See Scenario: Test the Dukes Bank Sample Application.
