Hello, the problem is that when running a blueprint that creates a virtual machine and the link to windows AD does not run the workflow in Orchestrator. The configurations are as follows:

- VRO endpoint: Configured correctly against windows AD.

- AD policies: Configured correctly and linked to the VRO endpoint.

- Entitlements and services configured correctly.

- Blueprint created in clone mode, custom specs correctly configured.

- User used in AD policies with create and delete permissions in the defined OU (if manually tested). This user is also used in custom specs.

NOTE: orchestrator embedded in VRA is used.

When executing the blueprint and entering in orchestrator does not execute the workflow that creates the registry in the corresponding OU, but if it creates the VM without errors.

Any ideas?

From a customer: 

we have VRA 7.2 + ServiceNow (H release) configured on separate domains.   We have our corporate ADFS solution providing PasswordProtectedTransport between VRA and the ADFS solution.   SNOW is configured to use the same ADFS solution.   When we turn on the SNOW-->VRA7.2 plugin, SNOW forwards users through VRA for authentication, resulting in an OAuth error when network access is allowed to the user, and a timeout when not. 

We need for users to not go through VRA in the first place, the point of ADFS is so we can have a centralized trust for authentication, while allowing 3rd party apps to provide their own repository of groups, roles, etc.  The benefit we were hoping to get out of the VRA plugin for SNOW is to allow the creation of VRA requests from ServiceNow, without requiring network access to the VRA server itself in the first place (ServiceNow uses Mid servers to allow this to work).

We can get through the instructions to the point where we start running the scripts, but they all fail with:

REST call error found inside VRASNAuthGenerator.generateAuthCode: Method failed: (/identity/api/tokens) with code: 400

Hi everyone, I'm interested to try the vRealize for Business Cloud in order to compare the costs of on-prem vs AWS vs Azure... the question is: how vRealize can know the cost of a machine running on Azure/AWS? For example, Azure often changes the list prices....

Hello,

I would like to know if, under vRealize 7.1 , there is a way to connect all my Tenants to a "saml 2.0 Federation"
I know you can import the corresponding xml under Administration --> Identity Providers, for each Tenant, and then export the VRA xml to the Federation.
My infrastructure has about 400 Tenants, so I would like to know if there is a way to perform this action at a higher level than the single tenant, so that all Tenantsinherit the connection with the Federation.

Thanks so much

I am trying to authenticate with the api @ https://<IAAS WEB>/WAPI/api in order to create a Fabric Group with a Fabric Admin configured.

The exact api endpoint I want to hit is POST api/EnterpriseGroups but I am unable to figure out how to login. CloudClient uses this api to create FabricGroups so it is still an active api however I am unable to find any documentation on how to authenticate with this API.

Any sample REST clients in any language that login seccusfully and execute operations against the API would be a huge help.

I have a vRO workflow that has an input field of type SecureString. In the vRO Presentation section, I set a default value for this field (set via an Action normally but the same issue happens if I just hard-code it). This works fine when the workflow is run in vRO. The field is shown with **** values that I can either overwrite or leave alone and the value will be passed to the workflow.

If I create an XaaS Blueprint in vRA that points to this workflow, when I request the corresponding catalog item, the input form does not have a default value for the field.

This works fine for input fields of other types - default values appear on the form as expected. It just doesn't work for SecureStrings as far as I can tell.

Is this just not supported or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hi,

Is there a way to set a default value (for lease time) when people order a server based on a blueprint?

The default in the form seem to always be the minimum value from the blueprint. I want it to be possible to set 1 day as lease time, but that's not very user-friendly as a default.

Is there a magic custom property I've missed?

edit: vRA 6.2

Hello,

Does anyone have an example blog or forum post on how to do a time based deprovision?

For example, I want to create a blue print that adds a Active Directory group to another Active Directory group and put an end date using the Date & time field in the blueprint form.

Then I want to create a de-provisioning process that would basically do the reverse and remove the group from the group it was added to.

If someone can provide any schedule / time based posts that would be great. I am having a hard time googling this feature...

Hi,

Apologies if I am asking incorrectly or in the wrong place, I am new to this community.

I have a VRA 7.1 installation and I am trying to submit request via the REST API, which is working.

I pull down the template JSON and then post it again and get a successful submition.

Guide here: http://www.vmtocloud.com/how-to-script-a-vrealize-automation-7-rest-api-request/

However I wish to request multiple instance in a single deployment and can't see where to edit the JSON.

There is an entry that has  "_leaseDays":1,"_number_of_instances":1}.

If I increase "_number_of_instances" to get multiple deployment not multiple instances in a deployment as I expected.

After contacting VMware this is "expected" behavior.

Does anyone know how I can request multiple instances in a single deployment via RESTAPI request?

Hey guys,

I'm trying to reconfigure an existing virtual machine in vRA.

I'm following the same method for provisioning a catalog item, unfortunately nothing happens when I sent the request bellow.

I can the in the requests the reconfigure request with status successful with some of the parameters I specified, but then when I go to the virtual machine itself I see that nothing changed.

var vmResourceActionRequest = vCACCAFERequestsHelper.getRequestForResourceAction(operation);

var vmResourceRequestData = vCACCAFERequestsHelper.getResourceActionRequestData(vmResourceActionRequest);

var json = JSON.parse(vmResourceRequestData);

json.cpu = "3";

json.disks[1].data.size = "57";

vCACCAFERequestsHelper.setResourceActionRequestData(vmResourceActionRequest , JSON.stringify(json));

System.log(JSON.stringify(json));

vCACCAFERequestsHelper.requestResourceActionWithRequest(operation, vmResourceActionRequest);

Any idea?

Hello All,

Can you please guide me how to implement a form ( ASD) with multiple selection from search result in custom action resource ?

For example, a search box will be in input form and user can search the name from AD and select the multiple result so that I can pass multiple users to vRO workflow.

Please let me know is there any way out ?

Thanks,

K

I am from QA team and I am trying to create an automated test suite for vmware vrealize application testing using Selenium. However, Selenium does NOT recognize this application and gets stuck after launching application. Can someone through light on why Selenium wouldnt hook with vmware vrealize? Is there any setting I need to configure?

I'm using an XaaS request to take user input and replacing properties in a new provisioning request. The rough vRO workflow is as follows:

// catalogItem is a predefined blueprint

var request = vCACCAFERequestsHelper.getProvisioningRequestForCatalogItem(catalogItem);

var requestData = vCACCAFERequestsHelper.getProvisioningRequestData(request);

var jsonData = JSON.parse(requestData);

// ------ Do some processing of data here to the jsonData

// Send off the request

vCACCAFERequestsHelper.setProvisioningRequestData(request, JSON.stringify(jsonData));

result = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vcaccafe.request").requestCatalogItemWithProvisioningRequest(catalogItem, request);

If I run this request as an admin user, then the request runs as expected and the properties are updated with the new data from this workflow.

If I run this same request as a regular user, the workflow runs successfully and the new VM is built but none of the properties are updated on the new VM.

I can output the jsonData and see that the value are in fact getting updated by vRO and sent over to the requestCatalogItemWithProvisioningRequest method.

System.log(JSON.stringify(jsonData));

Any ideas why I'm getting different behavior between different user types?

I can't seem to get this work but I also can't find any detail documentation to say if this possible or NOT?   My notifications work for standard blueprints, plus I get capacity emails from reservations, etc.  

Thanks in advance.

I'm attempting to setup multiple Business Groups and give a select group of admin users access to request items on behalf of each of these Business Groups.

I have the environment configured as follows:

Business Group A has entitlement to CentOS 6 catalog item.

Bueiness Group B has entitlement to CentOS 6 catalog item.

User X is a support user in both Business Group A and B.

When user X logs in, there are two catalog items:

CentOS 6

Business Group A

CentOS 6

Business Group B

When user X deploys the CentOS 6 catalog item under Business Group B, the item ends up being deployed under Business Group A. I would expect this item to be deployed under Business Group B.

What would be the cause of this behavior, and is there a way to achieve the behavior I'm looking for?

I am seeing an issue on a vra 7.x installation that was upgraded from 6.x.  Prior to the upgrade, CCC (Common Component Catalog) was used to provide hostnames, but it was uninstalled prior to the upgrade.

When we request a machine, we have to provide a hostname property.  If we don’t, the request will fail immediately.  If we provide a hostname, the request goes through without problems.  There are prefixes in place, but it “Next Number” has never moved from 1.

To test, we created a new blueprint, used a known working template, and ensured that Machine Prefix was correctly set. It failed immediately (before anything was kicked off in vcenter).  I do not see any vro flows being kicked off.  There are no event broker subscriptions active.  The is 1 approval policy, but is only looking at cpu and memory.

Besides the "add/remove programs" (vRA 6.2.3 Common Component Catalog Uninstallation before Upgrade to vRA 7) where can I see any residual effects from that installation?

We are using kickstart (and puppet) to deploy linux servers, the problem is – there is no DHCP on our network. Is there a way to automate the linux provisioning?

All info I could find is that I must use DHCP for kickstart.

We are using vRA 7 (new environment)

Hello Guys,

Why do i have to specify the IaaS Server address during installation of the vRA Management Agent.

Referencing to vRealize Automation 7.2 Information Center the Management Agent only speaks to the vRA Appliance on port 443 and 5480.

Lack of documentation?

Guys so i have setup a tenant (not the default vsphere.local tenant). I want to delete this tenant. I am trying to get rid of a endpoint so that i can start clean with a new tenant. The endpoint is the first endpoint that was created after install, so its called vCenter. It was discovered and i had created fabric groups, reservations, business groups, service, catalog item and now worked my way backwards to delete all these things so that i can eventually delete the tenant and start fresh and do prpoer naming conventions for services, business groups fabric groups etc. But now that I have gotten rid of the catalog items, services, fabric groups inside this tenant. I am trying to delete the endpoimnt, it keeps saying there is a reservation. But i cant seem to find the reservation tab under infrastructure, I have tried logging on to the default tenant with the configurationadmin, iaasadmin, default administrator login, nothing cant seem to fins the reservatiosn tab to remove this reservation. So i got the cloud client and logged in and made sure that all inactive computeresources are removed. And i am trying get a list of vra reservation and it keeps saying insiffiecient privilages to make thjis API call. i do a computerecource list and i see a computeresource called "CP-ETE-Linux" and shows as active. Because when i do vra computeresource inactive list i dont see anything int he inactive list

but i cant find this computeresource in vra GUI and now I cant even remove it from cloudclient and i cant delete the tenant until i get rid of the endpoint. Is there a way to force delete a tenant or what am i missing here?
