Template name
Lets you specify the name of the template. This field is required.
Lets you specify what type of service template you want to create. This field is required.
Choose one of the following:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Container | Specifies you want to create a container template. |
| Virtual machine | Specifies you want to create a virtual machine template. |
| Physical machine | Specifies you want to create a physical machine template. |
| Storage | Specifies you want to create a storage template. |
Job template
Lets you specify which Moab job template you want to use to provision new instances of the service. The drop-down is populated via Moab Web Services with all Moab job templates that specify SELECT=TRUE. (See the Cloud Workflow example in the Moab Workload Manager Administrator Guide for service template workflow requirements.)
This field is required.
This field is not available when you select "Container" as the Template type.
Tags
Lets you specify tag values for the service template. Press Enter to add an entry. You can add multiple tags.
Description
Lets you specify a text description for the service template. The description will help your users easily identify which template they want to use when requesting a service.
Allow user to request start time
This option only appears when you select "Container" as the Template type.
Lets you specify whether or not you want users to be able to request the service start time. When you enable this feature, any user requesting this service will have a "Request start time" section on their service form. For more information, see Requesting a service from a template.
You should only select this option for top-level container templates. In other words, you should not select this option for any service template that will be included in another container template. If the top-level container includes other templates with the option enabled, only the top-level container's "Request start time" field will display on the user form. Likewise, if the top-level container does not have this option enabled, but an included template does, the included template will not display the "Request start time" field on the user form.
