Deploy and Setup OS on Virtual Machine: Service details

The general steps for using this service template to deploy and set up an OS on a Virtual Machine are as
follows:
1. A virtual server is created using an existing template.
2. The initial information for the virtual server is specified.
a. Specifies initial information for the OS (such as computer name and company name). Depending
on the virtual server's OS, the service template specifies the following settings:
For a Windows-based OS, as initial OS settings, the service template specifies a computer name,
company name, and organization name. The service template uses sysprep to clear the system
information for the virtual server and then specifies the OS information.
For Linux OS, as initial OS settings, the service template specifies a computer name.
b. Specifies the IP address of the virtual server. You can specify a maximum of two IP address for a
virtual server. The order in which IP addresses are set depends on the number of NICs on the
virtual server as follows:
I. If the virtual server has one NIC, and the management and application IP addresses are both
specified, the service template sets the IP address for management in the NIC preferentially.
Note that the application IP address is discarded. If only a management IP address or only an
application IP address is specified, the service template sets the specified IP address in the
NIC.
II. If the virtual server has two NICs, and the management and application IP addresses are both
specified, the service template sets the management IP address in the first NIC set in the
virtual server's OS and the application IP address in the second NIC set in the virtual server's
OS. If only a management IP address or only an application IP address is specified, the
service template sets the specified IP address in the first NIC set in the virtual server's OS.
3. If multiple IP addresses are specified for the virtual server, the service template sets a static route for
the virtual server's OS.
4. A port group is specified for the virtual server.
When the OS of the virtual server to create is a Windows-based OS:
