Creating new Server
There are two ways to create a new Server:
Directly
To create a new Server directly, just click the Create button in the Server list view.
From a Server Template
To create and run a new server from a Server Template follow these steps:
- Go to
Cetmix Tower > Servers > Templates - Click the action (...) menu on the Kanban tile of the template you want to use
- Click Create Server
You can also open a Server Template form and click "Create Server" button located in the form header.
This will open the Server Template Wizard allowing you to adjust the server settings before creation.
Default field values are automatically populated from the corresponding Server Template.
To create a new Server, define its name, adjust the settings if needed, and click the Confirm button.
If the Server Template has a Flight Plan configured, it will be automatically executed for the new server after it is created.
Required Variables Validation
When a Server Template includes configuration variables marked as Required, the wizard enforces validation to ensure all such variables are filled before proceeding.
Missing Required Values
If any required variable is missing a value, the wizard displays a warning message:
"Please provide values for the following configuration variables: Test Required".
The Confirm button will remain disabled until all required fields are filled.
The screenshot above highlights a missing required variable, with a red arrow indicating the field that needs attention.
All Variable Value Completed
Once all required fields are completed, the warning message disappears, and the Confirm button becomes enabled.
The screenshot above shows the wizard with all required variables filled and ready for server creation.
A green arrow points to the enabled Confirm button, indicating that the server can now be created successfully.
