Operating Environment Software Instruction Manual

Delete service operation
When deleting a service, the Delete operation automatically deprovisions an existing infrastructure
and frees the resources for use in other services.
To delete a service
1. Open the infrastructure orchestration console, self service portal, or organization administrator
portal
2. Select the Services or My Services tab
3. Select a service and click Delete
OR
4. Select a service and click Details or View Details
5. From the Actions or Server Actions list, select Delete service
When executing the operation, infrastructure orchestration:
• Validates the request
• Scrubs the boot and data disks
• Powers off the servers
• Deletes the virtual machine or server blade profile
• Deallocates the servers (server blades and virtual machine hosts)
• Deallocates the networks and IP addresses
• Deallocates the boot and data disks
• Executes custom actions
• Sends notifications
After successfully completing a Delete operation, the infrastructure orchestration infrastructure
service is destroyed, deprovisioning all server, network, and storage resources making them
available for new Create Service, Add servers to group, and Add data disk to group operations.
If deprovisioning fails, the infrastructure service is still deleted. When this occurs, the infrastructure
orchestration administrator must manually clean up the servers or disks.
Add server to group operation
To add a server
1. Open the infrastructure orchestration console, self service portal, or organization administrator
portal
2. Select the Services or My Services tab
3. Select a service and click Details or View Details
4. From the Actions or Server Actions list, select Add servers
During an Add server to group operation, infrastructure orchestration:
• Validates the request
• Allocates the servers (server blades or virtual machine hosts)
See “Allocating servers to a VM Host” (page 97) for more information.
• Allocates IP addresses
• Allocates the boot disk (physical and virtual)
See “Allocating storage to virtual machines” (page 98) for more information.
• Obtains approval
