3.0 First Use of Basic PlateSpin Orchestrate Components

After you install and configure the basic components of PlateSpin® Orchestrate from Novell®, (that is, the PlateSpin Orchestrate Server, the PlateSpin Orchestrate Agent, and the PlateSpin Orchestrate Clients), you will want to see them at work. The information in this section is organized sequentially (that is, in a “walkthrough” scenario) so that you can follow the process an administrator might use to begin applying PlateSpin Orchestrate capabilities in a production environment.

The first three subsections listed above are basic tasks you need to perform to make the PlateSpin Orchestrate system perform at a basic level. The other sections include information to help you understand how the PlateSpin Orchestrate system can work in your production environment.

For information about the first use of PlateSpin Orchestrate VM Client components, see Overview in the PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0 VM Client Guide and Reference.
