OnCommand Workflow Automation
(WFA) is a software solution that helps to automate storage
management tasks such as
provisioning, migration, decommissioning, and cloning storage. You can
use WFA to build workflows to
complete tasks specified by your processes.
A workflow is a repetitive and
procedural task that consists of sequential steps, including the
following types of tasks:
• Provisioning, migrating, or
decommissioning storage for databases or file systems
• Setting up a new
virtualization environment, including storage switches and datastores
• Setting up storage for an
application as part of an end-to-end orchestration process
Storage architects can define
workflows to follow best practices and meet organizational
requirements, such as the
following:
• Using required naming
conventions
• Setting unique options for
storage objects
• Selecting resources
• Integrating internal
configuration management database (CMDB) and ticketing applications
WFA features
WFA includes the following
features:
• Designer portal to build
workflows
The designer portal includes
several building blocks such as commands, templates, finders,
filters, and functions that are
used to create workflows. The designer enables workflows to
include advanced capabilities
such as automated resource selection, row repetition (looping), and approval
points.
• Execution portal to execute
workflows, verify status of workflow execution, and access logs
• Administration portal for
tasks such as setting up WFA, connecting to data sources, and
configuring user credentials
• Web services interfaces to
invoke workflows from external portals and data center orchestration software.
