Provisioning Process Flow

The following diagram is an overview of the provisioning installation and execution process. The diagram divides the tasks into two categories:

• Provisioning Installation — These tasks install and configure the required infrastructure. They also stock the data store with operating system images and RSCD agents that you need to provision your target servers. This document describes each of the installation steps.
• Provisioning Execution — These tasks create system packages and provision the target systems. This document describes most of these steps, including how to configure the data store, create the system software packages, and create boot images. For information about the final provisioning step (creating and running Provision Jobs), see Creating and modifying Provision Jobs.
