Customizing template attributes when a service is created
When you create a service, you can customize the following attributes:
• selected networks
• IP address assignment types
• memory size
• processor count
• VM storage volume names
NOTE: If volume names are defined in the template, then the customized set of volume names
must be a subset of those names. If no volume names are defined, any customization is a
subset.
• operating system/software image
These customizations allow you to reduce the number of templates in your environment, because
different types of services can be created based on one master template.
NOTE: To modify the number of processors and memory size of a virtual machine after a service
is created, use the Edit Virtual Servers operation. See “Edit virtual servers operation” (page 103)
for more information.
Network customizations enable the use of one IO template to deploy a service to different networks
(for example, test, development, and production). Note that a network connection cannot be added
or deleted in the new service; the logical server group has the same connection, but the connection
points to the customized network.
