If you have been assigned the self_service role to a project in IBM® PowerVC for Private
Cloud, you can use a deploy template to
create a virtual machine.
To create a virtual machine, follow these steps.
-
Log in to the appropriate project and open the Deploy Templates
page.
-
Select the deploy template that you want to use and click
Deploy. In the page that opens, specify the requested details.
- For
ibm-default project:
- Depending on the policies associated with the project, this action might require approval from
the administrator or the project manager before it starts. In this case, a request is created. To
view the status of your requests, use the Requests area at the top of the PowerVC window.
-
For projects other than
ibm-default:
- If the deploy template is using a public image, the administrator approval is required for the
successful deployment, irrespective of the existing cloud policies. A notification is sent to the
administrator.
- If the deploy template is using a private image, then depending on the policies associated with
the project, this action might require administrator or project manager approval before it starts.
In this case, a request is created. To view the status of your requests, use the
Requests area at the top of the PowerVC window.
