Run a script package on a classic virtual system instances.
Before you begin
Note: The Virtual System Patterns (Classic) is not supported in IBM Cloud Pak System Software version 2.3.5 and
later.
You must have a deployed classic virtual system instance and at least one
script package that is associated with the instance. Script packages must also be configured to run
when you initiate it, so you can run the package as many times as needed.If you
did not deploy the virtual system instance,
you must be granted All (Full) permission for the virtual system instance to run the script
package.
Procedure
- Click .
- From the list of available virtual system instances, select
the appropriate instance.
- In the details of the selected instance, expand the Virtual
machines node.
- Expand the node of the virtual machine on which you want
to run the script package.
-
In the Script Packages section, select
[Execute].
- If required, type the user name and password of the administrator.
There might be more parameters available to configure as well, depending
on the script package.
Note: These credentials
are not used to run the script package. The script package runs by
using the root user context. These credentials
are passed to the running script as environment variables with the
key names ADMINUSERNAME and ADMINPASSWORD so
that they can be used by the script if needed for tasks such as product
administration. These environment variables are only valid in the
execution environment of the script package. If no credentials are
needed for the tasks that are carried out by the script package, such
as the Must Gather Logs script, the script completes successfully
even when these credentials are left blank.
- Wait for the script package to complete.
