Assign vRO Workflow to Blueprint

December 28, 2016, 3:07 pm

I had a question about assigning vRO Workflows to blueprints. I followed this link to associate a workflow to my blueprint. Specifically, on step 2 where it talks about assigning a state change workflow to a blueprint. After assigning a workflow to a blueprint via the BuildingMachine stub, I refresh my blueprint in vRA and do not have any custom properties added. What I ended up doing was manually adding the following as Custom Properties in my blueprint:

ExternalWFStubs.MachineProvisioned

ExternalWFStubs.MachineProvisioned.diskSize

ExternalWFStubs.MachineProvisioned has a value of the Workflow ID I am calling from vRO. When I run a request from my blueprint now I do have an option to set the disk size, and the workflow does execute correctly. This does not seem like the best way to do this, however. Is there something that I am missing in the initial configuration?

Some Questions regarding NSX and vRA

Hello,

we are currently evaluation VMware NSX and vRA.

Regarding this, i have some questions regarding NSX and vRA.

 

Our situation:

We are a service provider. The customer ESXi hosts are in dedicated Cluster (one cluster per Customer) but in one vCenter (customer does not have access to vCenter, PaaS).

We installed vRA, created an tenant for each customer. Everything fine. Every customer can only create stuff in their Cluster.

Then we added NSX and created some securty groups. And here is my first questions:

Every customer see ALL! security groups of all customers in the Blueprint Desginer. As we only have one vCenter we also have only one NSX Manager.

How can we seperate the customer security groups?

 

Second questions:

I can assign security groups via the blueprint designer. I also added a ressource action to run the NSX "Add VM to security group workflow".

But is there no way to show the currently assigned security groups in vRA?

 

Thank you

vRA 7.2 - Change "Machine Resources" on Blueprints

Hello!

 

I am playing around with vRA 7.2 and have created a few simple Blueprints with one "Server CloneWorkflow from Template". The Blueprint works as expected an i have created a few VMs based on the Blueprints. I like to change some "Machine Resources" (maximum CPUs, Memory or Storage) in the Blueprints and the new Settings are working for new Requests but not for the already provisioned VMs. For Example: I set the "maximum CPUs" from 2 to 4 an can request a new VM with 4 CPUs. On provisioned VMs the max. CPUs Value is not updated to 4. Can anyone confirm this behavior?

Error when sync with AD

Good afternoon all,

 

We are receiving the error below, when we are trying to sync new users from AD:

 

Certificate for <vra> doesn't match common name of the certificate subject: xxxxxxx


Error from log:


2016-06-10 19:27:21,597 ERROR (tomcat-http--16) [vsphere.local;05fdd4ec-c66d-4728-ab26-f6a23dbbe1d9;172.19.24.131] com.vmware.horizon.connector.management.utils.ConnectorCommunicationUtils - Unable to execute local REST API: Certificate for <vra> doesn't match common name of the certificate subject: x

xxxxxxxxxxxx

javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Certificate for <vra> doesn't match common name of the certificate subject: xxxxxxxxxx

 

This certificate for <vra>  is installed where?

 

Becase we installed a new certificate in vRA Appliance, issued to our domain (example: thiagosilva.company).

 

But appear that in some place, when the tool is trying to connect on AD, it is using the old certificate (issued to "vra").

 

Could you please help me?

vRA7 - Identity Stores

How do I need to manage new users on Identity Stores with vRA7?

 

In vRA6, when I create a users in the Active Directory it became usable automatically in Automation, but with vRA7 I need to "resync" the Identity Store before I can use the new user. Is there any way to set the Active Directory to work as in vRA6?

 

If I look for the Identity Store using Orchestrator API (to try a forced sync), the Action "getIdentityStoresFromHost" gives me the following error:

Error in (Dynamic Script Module name : getIdentityStoresFromHost#0) Can not perform request to the SSO server. Please contact your System Administrator.

But the SSO server is no longer present in vRA7. How can I force an Active Direcytory sync?

 

Thanks a lot,

D.

The property binding breaks dependencies (vRA 7.2)

January 7, 2017, 12:48 pm

I've just recently started encountering this error. The long and short of it is I have a software component that needs to get the DNS Address of the Routed Network, and a couple of other addresses that are dynamically generated by a software component, and the designer is preventing me from saving the property.

 

I'm using a binding to pull the value from the On Demand Routed Network, but I'm getting "The property binding breaks dependencies." The binding I'm using in the below picture is Routed28Bit~dns~primary_dns. In theory, this should not cause any issue.

 

Screenshot from 2017-01-07 15-42-36.png

I've never encountered this issue before, and it just recently started happening after some weird blueprint corruption issues that I experienced. It is not clear what is causing the issue here, as I have no explicit dependencies beyond the implicit ones generated by vRA. Any ideas?

 

Edit: The following binding works: _resource~SrvGroup~ip_address. This happens across multiple tenants.

Mapping network profiles to bussiness group

January 8, 2017, 3:36 pm

Hello community, I'm having some issues with VRA 7.2 involving business groups and network profiles, my issue is the one below:

 

Let's say I have a blueprint with a network attached to network profile "A" which is connected to VLAN 100.

 

Also I several business groups and we want that each one of them to deploy their VMs in its separate VLAN, so I have also several network profiles, with the relevant reservations, mapped to VLANs 200, 201, etc.

 

What I want to achieve is that with one catalog item, when a user from business group A requests a VM, I want that VM to be deployed in the BG assigned V-LAN, so far I've tried using these custom properties in the Business Group definition:

 

VirtualMachine.Network0.Name --> Network1-vlan200

 

VirtualMachine.Network0.ProfileName --> cloudnetwork2-vlan200

 

I can see that in the vCenter the VM is assigned to the right portgroup, nevertheless Vra won't assign an IP and the request ends without error.

 

I checked this blog: http://open902.com/vra7-customize-hostname-vlan-and-ip-during-deployment/ and it helped me a little but it won't solve my problem, because in my scenario my consumers should not modify the network assigment of their VMs.

 

How do solve this issue? Maybe you can give me a hint about what do you do in your environments.

 

Thanks in advance!

vRealize Generate CSV File Error

Using the vRealize 7.0.1 Bulk Imports to Generate CSV file, I get the error "An error occurred while creating export: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

 

I have tried various settings and discovered that if I disable the reservations associated to the business group selected in the Generate CSV File form I can get a CSV file to export, looking at the error I suspect I have an issue with the data in the IaaS SQL database.

 

I have looked through a number of logs on the IaaS server but cant see any errors related to this also the Compute Resource Data Collections are working without any issues.
