2.3.5 Automatically Installing the Orchestrate Agent on a VM
Host Using a Job
You can write a job to automatically install and configure the Orchestrate Agent on a host server.
Such a job can be a script similar to the following, which is for an Apache VM:
"""
Search for a VM Grid objects using Constraints and run a VM operation on them.
"""
class test(Job):
def job_started_event(self):
# collect all VM Instances whose resource ID
# starts with the string "apache"
a = AndConstraint()
e1 = EqConstraint()
e1.setFact("resource.type")
e1.setValue("VM")
a.add(e1)
e2 = EqConstraint()
e2.setValue("apache*")
e2.setMatchMode(EqConstraint.MATCH_MODE_REGEXP)
e2.setFact("resource.id")
a.add(e2)
vms = getMatrix().getGridObjects(TYPE_RESOURCE,a,None)
for vm in vms:
vm.installAgent()
For information on developing jobs, see the PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0 Developer Guide and
Reference .
2.4 Installing the Orchestrate Development

from any SLES 10 or a Windows (XP or Vista) machine. No other PlateSpin Orchestrate
components need to be installed on that machine. This section includes information that details how
to install the Orchestrate Development Client by itself.
