The provisioning history option lets you view the history of a
provisioning template. You can check on the status of a
particular task, determine how a particular server was provisioned,
or find out which servers were provisioned with a particular
template. When a system is provisioned, all the actions are
recorded in the provisioning history.
If you want to put a system back into a known state, you can
replay the template that lets you return to that known state. If
you want to replay a template, keep in mind that some actions are
external to provisioning. Save any software distribution packages,
agent configurations, and programs that you download and execute in
conjunction with a template. Otherwise you won’t be able to replay
them.
