Using HP CSA to deploy virtual machine instances to the cloud

After you configure HP CSA and create designs, you can use the Marketplace Portal to launch instances. These instances can be managed from the CloudSystem Console and the Cloud Service Management Console.

NOTE: Access the Cloud Service Management Console and Marketplace Portal by clicking the links on the Enterprise screen of the CloudSystem Console.

You can also open a new browser tab and copy the CloudSystem Enterprise address, then modify it by appending /csa or /marketplace. For example: https://Enterprise_IP/csa and https://Enterprise_IP/marketplace.

Prerequisites

Cloud resources are configured. See Configuring designs in HP CSA.
