Increasing Size of disk0 in vRealize Automation 7.6

I have been trying to increase the size of Disk0 in vRA, which I thought would be an easy task, but I can't figure out how to do it.

 

In the Blueprint, it's greyed out in the Storage Tab.

 

If I try to edit VirtualMachine.Disk0.size in the properties tab, I get an error saying "Specify Storage Properties in the storage tab"

 

I found an old forum post saying this was a known issue in 7.0, but surely thats been fixed by now.

How to make a user be able to increase default disk size during blueprint request?

 

On a side note, is it possible to increase the size of a VMs Disk0 through an action?

I am facing issues   issue with user being thrown out of Application , not all but at least  some users  ( random user)

My Session persistence is not enabled for LBaaS , I was told that since the LBaaS connects to only one IHS , Session persistence is not required.

Please could you advise what could be going wrong here ?

Revert to snapshot in VRA 7.3 using Cloud Client 4.7

Hi,

 

I am using cloud client to connect to VRA and trying to do the action revert to snapshot.

 

The following are the sequence of commands i executed:

 

1) Authorization to VRA: vra login userpass --user xxxx --tenant xxx --server https://xxxx --password xxxx

2)To list the machines: vra machines list

3) To find the actions that we can perform on a given machine: vra machines action list --id SER35VVM426

4) To execute the revert to snapshot action on the above vm: vra machines action execute --id SER35VVM426 --action 21115e98-92bd-4789-8caa-0e4852a417ee

 

After executing the above sequence of commands, when I look at the vmware console I see that it is failed and the error message is:

 

[Error code: 42000 ] - [Error Msg: Infrastructure service provider error: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: value]

 

Can someone extend their help on what it actually means?

 

Thanks,

Sushma.

Question for Early vRA 8 Adopters

Hi Everyone,

I am currently tasked with deploying vRA in a new,on-prem only environment (on a very tight timeline). We are currently debating which version to move forward with. Was wondering if any early adopters of vRA 8 had some insight on how painful it has been in terms of bugs and underdeveloped features.

 

The pros and cons we have identified so far include:

 

vRA 7 Cons:

-Longer lead time (deployment)

-Higher resource consumption

- Multiple Windows Server licenses consumed

- Requires a migration later, including reworking of multiple components

 

vRA 7 Pros:

  • - Long established product with more mature features
  • - More web resources and documentation due to being out longer

 

 

vRA 8 cons:

  • - Publicly available for only 2-3 weeks, risk of bugs in initial version
  • - Less online documentation/resources (official and unofficial)
  • - Some traditional features aren’t as developed
    • Approval Workflows
    • others?

 

 

vRA 8 Pros:

  • - Streamlined deployment process
  • - Services centralized, no longer requiring Windows and MS SQL licensing
  • - Less resource utilization
  • - Don’t need to worry about migrating and reworking later

 

Concerned about building out 7, getting our users used to that look,feel and feature set only to migrate a few months later to a new product,with a new look and feel and some new features and some removed features. Re-working workflows also seems like it is going to be painful after migration.

 

Also took a look at some documentation and this blog post which was pretty helpful: vRealize Automation (vRA) 8 FAQ

 

Thanks in advance for any tips

vRA 7.2 Deployment description change

Hi!

 

Does anybody know how to change/edit "Deployment" description after provisioning? End-user can easy change/add VMs description after deployment (using "Reconfigure" task), but I don't see any options to edit Deployment description... I haven't been lucky with vRO/REST API, looks like no methods/functions exists to update already deployed object VCACCAFE:CatalogResource (I'll be happy to be wrong on it). Could not believe that so obvious function is missing in vRA.

I am having hard time to find an API to list location tags of all Compute clusters that is seen in vRA Infrstructure--> Compute Clusters.  Tried vRA 7.3 API, https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Automation/7.3/vrealize-automation-73-programming-guide.pdf , could not find, all it has is reservations that list compute cluster but no other details about compute cluster itself.  Any idea where I can find the API to list all compute cluster objects and the properties of each object that has location in it?  For reference here what I am trying to list.

vRA 8 - Extensibility and VM MAC address

November 5, 2019, 10:48 pm

I have been working with the new inputProperties variable in vRO to attempt to extract the MAC address assigned to the deployed VM.  This is required for out DHCP/DNS registration process extensibility integration.  How can I extract this in the most efficient and reliable manner?

 

I see that the MAC address is visible in the custom properties in "Deployments" when the VM is selected so Assembly and the Broker are obviously getting it somehow. 

 

I could use the name of the VM and search the VC using the VC plugin then extract the MAC from there.

 

But is there a better way?

 

Thanks

Hi - noobie alert!

 

I'm looking to request user input, ie "Select VM", then prompt to confirm the selection, ie "Are you sure?" and handle the boolean true\false response using a Basic Decision in vRO to continue. I'd ultimately like to present this via a blueprint custom form.


Can anyone provide an overview of the steps I need to take to accomplish this?

vRA 8 - vRO Workflow Subscriptions

Hey,

 

I am a new vRA user trying to play with the product in the lab.

 

I am struggling to understand how to execute some vRO workflows for a specific blueprint.

 

As an example, I am just trying to execute the workflow "Create a Snapshot" after my VM is deployed by my blueprint.

 

Everytime I get the error "VM Cannot be null". So I understand that it needs to gather that name somehow but how to do it ?

 

I tried to create another subscription with the vRO Workflow "Get VM Name" but it does not work.

 

Can somebody explain with simple words ?

 

Thanks a lot

vRA 8 - On-Prem - Issues with Proxy

vRealize Automation 8 - Proxy

 

Looking for some help on two points regarding using a Proxy for vRA 8 (on-prem). I've seen that better proxy support is currently slated for 8.0.1 but I wanted to get a head start at my client on making sure all required URL's are whitelisted (e.g., *.docker.io).

 

Adding Cloud Account

At my client, when I attempt to add an AWS endpoint, no matter what I type into the keypair, when I press validate it waits for about 30 seconds and then returns "Credentials validated successfully". When I view the proxy logs, I can see it attempts a connection to "ec2.us-west-2.amazonaws.com" 6 times with a 200 response code. If I do this in my own lab through a Proxy I can see that it also hits that URL first and then goes through the rest of the region endpoints successfully (with 200 response codes).

 

This would indicate to me an issue with the Proxy at my client. However it's the same proxy we use for vRA 7 against AWS/Azure, and if I do a CURL on the appliance itself through the proxy it is working fine. This proxy does not have auth configured.

 

A similar issue is occuring if I try to add an Azure account, though at least that doesn't say the credentials validated successfully. If I try to add either Cloud endpoint, even with valid credentials, they both fail.

 

I'm not sure what logs I can look at in vRA 8 (nothing jumped out at me in Log Insight). Any thoughts on why the proxy is working for vRA 7 but not vRA 8?

 

Executing nodejs ABX using on-prem provider

I configured the proxy for Docker by following the KB which allowed me to deploy the initial on-prem container. However when I run a nodejs action that has dependencies it is failing to run, and there are no connection attempts through the Proxy. Are dependencies through a Proxy not supported? Is there more configuration required or is it coming in a future version?

Hello Group.

 

In version 7.X we were using external connectivity to multiple components like IPAM using the vRO plug-in and we inject the result into the virtual machine Entity on post provisionning.

 

I was trying to find a way to replace the vCAC plugin action addUpdatePropertyFromVirtualMachineEntity localized in module com.vmware.library.vcac.

 

Now in version 8.0 there is no longer vRA plugin and every interaction on vRA need to be done in the API.

 

Can someone help out found an answer for this one ?
