Exporting provisioning task information

Edit online

Use the Provisioning detail page to export details of a provisioning task to a text file. The task details that are shown on the Provisioning page are saved to the generated text file.

About this task

If you do not have authority to provision storage, you can export the provisioning task details to a file and email the file to a user with Administrator privileges. The administrator can run or schedule the provisioning task if they approve the task details.

Procedure

  1. From the menu bar, go to the Tasks page, a resource list page for a resource type, or a resource detail page for a specific resource.
    For example, to view the provisioning tasks that are related to servers, go to Servers > Servers, and click the Tasks tab.
  2. Locate the provisioning task that you want to export.
  3. Right-click the task row and select View Details.
  4. From the Provisioning page, to start the export, click the Export icon icon in the upper-right corner of the page.
  5. Save the generated text file.
    Depending on how your web browser is configured, you can specify the file name and the location where the file is saved.

Results

The provisioning task information is exported to a text file. The generated file includes all the provisioning task details that are listed on the Provisioning page. Columns that are hidden on the Provisioning page are included in the generated file. The information in the file is organized according to a default order and is not affected by the column order that is defined on the Provisioning page.
