2.14. Cloning Provisioning Templates
A provisioning template defines the way Satellite Server installs an operating system on a host. Use this procedure to clone a template and add your updates to the clone.
Procedure
- In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Hosts > Provisioning Templates and search for the template that you want to use.
- Click Clone to duplicate the template.
- In the Name field, enter a name for the provisioning template.
- Select the Default check box to set the template to associate automatically with new organizations or locations.
- In the Template editor field, enter the body of the provisioning template. You can also use the Template file browser to upload a template file.
- In the Audit Comment field, enter a summary of changes to the provisioning template for auditing purposes.
- Click the Type tab and if your template is a snippet, select the Snippet check box. A snippet is not a standalone provisioning template, but a part of a provisioning template that can be inserted into other provisioning templates.
- From the Type list, select the type of the template. For example, Provisioning template.
- Click the Association tab and from the Applicable Operating Systems list, select the names of the operating systems that you want to associate with the provisioning template.
- Optionally, click Add combination and select a host group from the Host Group list or an environment from the Environment list to associate provisioning template with the host groups and environments.
- Click the Organizations and Locations tabs to add any additional contexts to the template.
- Click Submit to save your provisioning template.
