Basic Options for Handling Tasks

CloudVision provides two basic ways to handle tasks. You can handle tasks individually (task by task), or by groups of tasks.

To view and cancel tasks individually, use the Task Management module, which you can access by navigating to Provisioning > Tasks from the CloudVision Portal. For detailed information on the Tasks module, see Creating Tasks or Using the Tasks Module.

To execute grouped tasks (multiple tasks in the same group), use the Change Control module from either Tasks or Change Control screens. To access the Change Control screen, navigate to Provisioning > Change Control from the CloudVision Portal. For detailed information on the Change Control module, see Using the Change Control Module.

Creating Tasks

The following actions that affect the performance of devices are automatically generated as tasks:

Assigning Configuration

  1. Go to the Network Provisioning screen.
  2. Select a device or container.
  3. Assign configuration.
  4. Save the topology to generate the task.
    Note: Editing a configlet also generates a task.

Adding Devices

  1. Go to the Network provisioning screen.
  2. Select a container.
  3. Add devices to the container.
  4. Save the topology to generate the task.
    Note: If the hierarchy of the container has images or configlets, the created task will also include image push and configuration push tasks.

Managing Devices

  1. Go to the Network provisioning screen.
  2. Select a container.
  3. Move or remove devices from the container.
  4. Save the topology to generate the task.
