Creating the vCloud service offering instance

You can create and submit the vCloud service offering instance as you would any other instance. As with other service offerings, you have the ability to stop, start, decommission, and extend the compute container. For overview information and detailed procedures, refer to Creating-services and related subtopics.

To create a vCloud service offering instance

  1. In the Service Instances workspace, access the Service Catalog tab, browse to view the available Cloud Services requests, and select one to request.

You can view the status of the service request under the Services subtab of the Activities tab.

Note

If you encounter an error message when decommissioning a vCloud service offering instance, you do not have to perform a workaround. The system automatically deletes all VM and vApp template entries from the cloud database in BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management. The entries are not removed from the source VMware vCloud implementation.
