To deploy a service to a private cloud
-
Select the cloud for deployment.

Select a VMM service template for the deployment.
Note VMM service templates are created in the VMM Administrator console. Once created and delegated to a user role, they are available for selection within App Controller. -
The diagram will load the service templates. Click the Service node in the diagram to open the service properties page. Specify a value for all required fields.
-
By default, the template will auto-generate virtual machine names and computer names for all VMM instances. If a virtual machine instance requires a specific virtual machine name or computer name, you can click Configure to open the property page. Within the virtual machine property page you can customize the virtual machine name and computer name.
Note Some service templates have a global setting which references a computer name within the service deployment. In this case, you will have to provide a specialized computer name for the virtual machine instance to which the global setting refers. -
The Deploy button will become enabled when all required settings have been supplied.
Tip It can take several minutes to deploy the service. The status bar will notify you that a job has been created. Learn more about jobs in the section How to View the Status of a Job.
