System Center Cloud Services Process Pack Installation Step by Step

This guide applies to RTM release for SC 2012 components.
What is Cloud Services Process Pack
This process pack will offer a self-service experience to facilitate private cloud capacity requests from your business unit IT application owners and end users, including the flexibility to request additional capacity as business demands increase.
It is recommend to follow the Microsoft guide for doing the installation. http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/1/E/01E135FB-1B46-4457-8086-6F1C3EE8144C/System_Center_Cloud_Services_Process_Pack.zip
However , I have provided the consolidated steps which would be required while doing the installation .

Here is the walk-through


Prerequisites
Before installing the System Center Cloud Services Process Pack, you need to ensure these prerequisites have been met.
Environment Prerequisites
The following applications must be installed:
·      System Center 2012 – Service Manager
·      System Center 2012 - Orchestrator
·      System Center 2012 – Operations Manager
·      System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager (VMM)


Cloud Services Process Pack Prerequisites
·      Import the VMM Discovery Management Pack into Service Manager. The VMM Discovery Management Pack, along with other required management packs, comes with the Cloud Services Process Pack download.  By default, the WinZip Self-Extractor saves the management files to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\2\Setup\ManagementPacks.  For more details, see FAQ: Installing all the Prerequisite MPs for the Cloud Services Management Pack at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=245768.

·      Operations Manager integration with VMM should already be complete. For more details, see Configuring Operations Manager Integration with VMM at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=225145.

Here you can face certain issues please check for the forum for resolution in that case.

·      Before installing runbooks, the system center integration pack for System Center 2012 – Service Manager needs to be imported into Orchestrator using the Orchestrator deployment manager.
·      The Service Manager connection string needs to be configured before installing runbooks.
For more details, see System Center Integration Pack for System Center 2012 Service Manager at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=245808.
