D.1 What are Provisioning Actions?
Beginning with the 2.0.2 release, the provisioning operations you perform in PlateSpin
are recorded as "actions." For example, in the PlateSpin Orchestrate Development Client main
menu:
A VM Host Discovery action is initiated if you select Provision > Discover VM Hosts and
Repositories and then you select a provisioning adapter in the Discover VM Hosts and
Repositories dialog box.
A VM Discovery action is initiated if you select Provision > Discover VM Images and then you
select a provisioning adapter in the Discover VM Images dialog box. An action is specified for
each Repository you specify.
A Migrate action is initiated when you perform the migration of a Virtual Machine (VM).
D.2 How Actions Are Displayed in the
Development Client
Depending on the Grid object you select, an Action History tab is displayed in several views of the
Orchestrate Development Client.
