The HCL Launch server
can use virtual system patterns from cloud systems such as IBM® Cloud Orchestrator to
create dynamic environments.
About this task
Note: If you installed a FIPS-compliant server as described in
Installing the server in interactive mode, the
HCL Launch server cannot integrate with cloud systems through virtual system patterns. Your JVM connects to
only FIPS 140-2 certified
IBM® providers.
Procedure
- Configure the cloud system to install agents automatically.
- Create a connection to a cloud system.
- Click and then click New
Connection.
- In the Name field, specify a
name for the connection.
- In the Management Console field,
specify the host name of the cloud system.
- In the Username field, specify
the user name of an account that has permission to request cloud resources.
The server stores this user name and password and uses it to
request cloud resources when you use this cloud connection.
- In the Password field, specify
the password for the user account.
- Optional: In the Description field,
specify a description for the connection.
- Optional: In the Teams field,
specify the teams that have access to this connection.
- Optional: Set the timeout for cloud requests
by opening the file installed.properties on the
server and specifying the cloud.requestTimeout property.
This property specifies the timeout in seconds. The default
value is 7200 seconds, or two hours.
- Click Save.
The new cloud connection is included in the Cloud
Connections pane.
