7.3 Provisioning Wizard Interface

The Provisioning Wizard provides a single interface to configure services on DSfW and is divided into the following panes:

Figure 7-1 Snapshot of the Provisioning Wizard

Task List : The task list displayed on the left pane of the wizard varies with the installation scenario. The configuration information provided during DSfW installation serves as input for the Provisioning Wizard to compute the list of tasks to be displayed.

For example: If you selected a non-name-mapped scenario for DSfW installation, the tasks to be performed for provisioning are different from the tasks to be performed if you selected a name-mapped scenario for installation. For details on the tasks for each provisioning scenario, see Section 7.6, Provisioning Tasks for Name-Mapped and Non-Name-Mapped Scenarios.

Task Description : The Task Description pane displays a short description of the task currently being performed. If you need more information on the task, select the Help option. This displays detailed help for the wizard.

Log Messages : The Log Messages pane displays details of events happening in the background and the status of each operation. To read more about logs, see Section 7.7, Logging.
