10 Toolkit scenarios There are a number of scenarios that are immediately available from the toolkit. The following scenarios are available: v Submitting an IBM Endpoint Manager software task to a list of computers v Deploy a Cloud Service with Additional Software on page 3 Submitting an IBM Endpoint Manager software task to a list of computers You can submit an IBM Endpoint Manager software task to a list of computers. You can submit the execution of a software task, belonging to a specified software package and available in a IBM Endpoint Manager environment, to a set of IBM Endpoint Manager computers that typically, but not necessarily, correspond to a virtual machines deployed through IBM Cloud Orchestrator. Note: You must already have configured at least one IBM Endpoint Manager sever into IBM Cloud Orchestrator. At least one shared Software Package with the related activation tasks must be available from the IBM Endpoint Manager server. To run this scenario, perform the following steps: 1. Go to Assigned Resources and enter the Stacks or VMs page. 2. Once there, select one or more resources (only for virtual machines) and start the Deploy fixlet action from the left menu. The action is available only for active instances. 3. When the offering starts: a. Select an IBM Endpoint Manager server Optional. This step appears on the UI only if more than one IBM Endpoint Manager server configuration has been registered on the system. If only one configuration is available, it is used automatically. b. Select a Software Package The list of the available shared Software Packages, created through the IBM Endpoint Manager Software Distribution Dashboard, is displayed. Select one of them. You can search the table where Software Packages are displayed by specifying a search string in the corresponding box and clicking Search. All the rows having at least one column that contains the search string are returned. The search is not case-sensitive. c. Select a Software Task After selecting a Software Package, the list of tasks linked to that package is loaded and you must select one of them. d. Specify additional deployment options You can specify the Execution Mode, specify the Reboot Options, and set or update the values of custom parameters that can be defined inside the action belonging to the task selected for execution. When Re-execute Whenever Applicable is checked, the selected task is activated on the agents enabling the policy reevaluation mode, meaning that the IBM Endpoint Manager agent, after executing the task, continuously checks its compliance. If it becomes non-compliant, the task action gets reexecuted. When Execute Once is checked, the action defined in the selected task is executed just once and is marked as completed. 2 IBM Cloud Orchestrator: Content Pack for IBM Endpoint Manager for Software Distribution

11 Through the Reboot Options parameter, you can specify if the target machines must be restarted or shut down at the end of the operation. e. Submit and monitor the operation When you click Submit, the activation of the task is triggered. You are redirected to the Action log page where you can monitor the execution of the operation. Based on the value specified for the Execution Mode parameter, the complete state of the operation assumes different meanings. More specifically, when Re-execute Whenever Applicable is checked, a complete operation means that the selected task has been activated on the target systems. In this case, the outcome of the execution of the action is not reported back to IBM Cloud Orchestrator. When Execute Once is checked, a complete operation means that the action specified in selected task has been successfully executed on the target systems. Table 1.

It must be deployed onto the virtual machines that corresponds to the node. This use case is available as a Self-Service Offering. To run this scenario, do the following steps: 1. Go to Self-Service Catalog and open the Deploy cloud services category. 2. Start the Deploy cloud service with additional software offering. 3. After the offering starts: a. Select the cloud service to deploy an OpenStack template. b. Configure the parameters that are required for the selected cloud service. The set of parameters depends on the chosen type of cloud services. c. For each part, the selected stack includes the following: IBM Cloud Orchestrator Content Pack For IBM Endpoint Manager for Software Distribution 3

12 1) Specify whether an additional Software Configuration must be run on the virtual machines, through the IBM Endpoint Manager infrastructure that is originated from this node. The different options are as follows: Configure Software Packages You can specify an additional Software Package task to be run. Configure Advanced Content You can specify a Fixlet to be activated. None No additional configurations to be applied. 2) Specify any custom parameters that are associated to the node. 3) Specify any custom parameters for the script packages associated to the part. 4) If an additional Software Configuration is requested, a Software Task or a Fixlet with advanced deployment options must be specified. The selection of a Software Task or of a Fixlet and the deployment options is the same in the Deploy software package and Deploy fixlet actions. 5) If you want to install the IBM Endpoint Manager agent on the virtual machine that you are going to deploy, select Install IEM Agent and specify the necessary parameters: operating system of the virtual machine, the IBM Endpoint Manager Agent package location, the credentials to access the package and, if necessary, the credential to access the virtual machine. d. Review the Summary. Click Submit to trigger the operation and monitor it. At the end of the operation, a report with the detailed outcome of the operation is delivered to the user who requested the operation. However, a valid address and a working Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server must be configured with IBM Cloud Orchestrator. For the installation of additional software to occur, an IBM Endpoint Manager agent must be installed on the virtual machines that are involved by the software installation. If not, a message is displayed reporting the virtual machines that are not hosting a configured IBM Endpoint Manager agent. Table 3.
