3.2.1 Usage example of Create Datastore on VMware vSphere service template
This section provides assumed system configurations and examples of properties to be specified when using the Create Datastore on VMware vSphere service template.
By using this service template, you can create a DP volume on a storage system or a data store on VMware vSphere ESXi (or VMware ESX Server).
Assumed system configuration
This service template assumes the following system configuration:
- Web browser
-
A terminal used to operate JP1/AO. The user uses this terminal to set property values in the service template.
- IT operation automation server
-
A server with JP1/AO and JP1/Base installed.
- vCenter operation server
-
A server with VMware vSphere Power CLI installed.
- vCenter server
-
A server with VMware vCenter Server installed.
- HDvM CLI server
-
A server with Hitachi Device Manager Software CLI installed.
- HDvM server
-
A server with Hitachi Device Manager installed.
- Storage system
-
A storage system managed by Hitachi Device Manager.
- ESX server
-
A server with VMware vSphere ESXi (or VMware ESX Server) installed. This server manages the virtualization server.

Processing flow
-
A user enters property values in the Web browser and submits the service for execution.
-
The IT operation automation server executes automatic processing on the HDvM CLI server and the vCenter operation server.
-
The HDvM CLI server creates one DP volume on the storage system.
-
The HDvM CLI server registers the created volume in the host group of the ESX server.
-
The vCenter operation server allows the ESX server to recognize the added H-LUN.
-
The vCenter operation server adds the data store to the ESX server.
-
From the vCenter operations server, set the FC path to the added data store to Preferred.
Example of specifying property values
To use the Create Datastore on VMware vSphere service template, a user must specify the appropriate property values for the user environment. Specify the property values in the Service Definition window and the Submit Service window.
