HP Cloud Service Automation - Part 7
Operations is the last section we haven't dealt with. In case you're wondering Cloud Analytics is an add-on and needs additional software to be installed and configured. Marketplace just redirects you to the Marketplace Portal. Be aware that the Marketplace Portal URL is Organization specific. So if you can't log in with LDAP credentials, double check you're trying the right portal URL! That's caught me out more than once!
Operations shows the CSA administrators what's going on for each Organization and each user within the Organization that has been configured or logged in at one stage or another. The status of each Subscription is clearly shown.
Clicking on a particular user will show more details about their Subscriptions
And you can click on the individual subscriptions for more details
There is the ability to transfer a subscription to another user within the same Organization should this be necessary (user has left the Organization or there's been a promotion / change in ownership).
I've only one other configured user so they are listed and clicking Transfer will move the subscription to them.
Now you can see the active subscription against the other user
Next you can test cancelling a subscription using the cancel button. This terminate the subscription in the case where doing it centrally may be necessary after a company closes or requests it specifically. Make sure you get the request in writing!!
Now the Service shows up as Offline. That's as far as you can take it from here. The VM is gone from vCenter, the OO undeploy operation has succeeded but until you log in as the owner of the subscription you can't delete it. My guess this is just in case the owner wants to Reorder the service perhaps. But after transferring the subscription back to the consumer user you can see the delete option is available there but we know it's not consuming resources at this point:
That's all for Operations!
