Is there a VMware API that can provide license usage information?

Hey Team,

I am looking for a way to call an API and extract license information, ideally, what is currently being used. I am doing some testing between my vRealize Automation appliance and Postman using the address: https://{{vra-fqdn}}/component-registry/api/licenses

However, when I put in the credentials and my bearer token, it comes back with the following output:

{

    "links": [],

    "content": []

}

I have been working on this 'challenge' for about a week now and I wanted to open this inquiry to the experts. Thank you in advance for your time and help on this.

vRa Code Stream 8.2 - POLL task criteria

October 6, 2020, 8:54 am

Hi

 

I'm currently working on code stream on vmware cloud services and i got an issue.

 

Using a "POLL" task, i can not figured out an success criteria based on the output of one of the current poll rest call

for eg, this does not works:

${Stage0.task1.output.responseJson.status} == "COMPLETED"

 

The error message is "Invalid exit criteria"

 

Based on this documentation, it should works, but it doesn't.

How do I use a REST API to integrate vRealize Automation Code Stream with other applications

 

Even worse, the simpliest test doesn't work too.

true == true

"a" == "a"

 

Do you know the syntax , it looks like it's completly broken as it is.

 

Thanks,

 

Regards

vRA 8 REST API Pagination

Is it possible to specify number of elements for REST call to vRealize Automation 8?

Seems like the default one is 100 which is not enough for our environment. For example GET request to "https://{{vra-fqdn}}/iaas/api/fabric-networks" returns the following:

"totalElements": 900,

"numberOfElements": 100

 

Can't find a way to specify page or limit to retrieve remaining networks.

Custom Resource Actions - Issue with OGNL parameters (v8.1 Patch 2)

October 7, 2020, 2:39 am

I'm trying to utilise a vRO workflow as a resource action in v8.1 (patch 2). The workflow has 2 inputs, first is type VC:VirtualMachine, the second is a string that's populated via a drop-down that calls an action passing in the previously selected VM. This approach is working fine when the workflow is run directly in vRO. Workflow config here:

 

 

I now need to get this workflow to work as a custom resource action. I'm following the logic used here to create the resource action: https://blogs.vmware.com/management/2020/08/introducing-custom-resources-and-resource-actions-in-vrealize-automation.html

 

So I've created the action to get the VC:VirtualMachine my name, tested in isolation it works fine, then I've configured my resource action:

 

 

When selecting a deployment the resource action appears as expected. When I run it I get:

 

 

So basically the action that is called to populate the protection plan dropdown is not being supplied with the selected VM, which it requires to function.

 

I checked out "Edit Request Parameters" for the resource action, and can see the ognl command that is failing

 

 

So my question is how do I get the VM to be passed into the action? I've spent quite some time looking at this and can't see anything obvious, any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks!

 

Tim.

I see that you can create a blueprint input that is of type object.  I can't seem to find any documentation on it and how/why I would use it.  Wondering if anyone has links (or examples) of what this is for?

I am trying to change Ansible password via extensibility using the below code via event broker topic deployment.resource.request.pre.

I have Properties as input and variable `customInput` is setup as the output of the workflow of type Properties

var customInput = inputProperties.requestInputs || new Properties();
customInput.ansiblePassword = "VMware1!"

the password is not getting changed this way. any help is appreciated.

The reason being that I save the password in vRO as a securestring and then inject it in there so that I don't have it hardcoded in the blueprint.

Good morning, 

I have just tried to apply the Patch 15 on our vRA 7.6 installation, following the instructions in the guide. The Patch 15 is rather big, like 4.5 GB..

After 45 minutes the installation failed, thou I see no real error. As well doesnt the selfpatch.log not contain any usefull information. It says it times out.. How long should I expect it to run - do I need to adjust timeout parameters?

Can any of you point to a direct where to look - or have seen similar ? Any debug mode during the installation?

Regards, Kjeld

Hello,

I updated my vLCM to the new version 8.2.0.23 to be able to update my vRa to 8.2.

 

My problem is : I downloaded the iso named "Prelude_VA-8.2.0.12959-17018654-updaterepo.iso" from "my vmware" (VMware vRealize Automation 8.2.0 Update Repository) then uploaded it via ssh to my vRLCM appliance in the folder /data/upgrades. From the vRLCM interface, i'm going in the settings then in "Binary Mapping" then "add binary". I precise the folder /data/upgrades then click "discover" and I find my iso.

I select it then click "add" but I receive this error :

I have checked the cheksum of my file (directly from the appliance ssh console) and it matches the checksum given on my vmware page...

Specifying Static IP in a blueprint for a NSX-T OnDemand Outbound attached VM

Hi,

As part of a blueprint I'm trying to specify a specific IP to a vSphere VM using

networks:

        - network: '${resource.NSX.id}'

          assignment: static

          address: 172.10.0.24

The network is a NSX-T On-Demand/Outbound.

But the IP is ignored, and another IP from the STATIC scope is assigned.

 

If the networktype resource is changed from Outbound to Existing (With a IP Scope), then its possible to specify an IP

 

Is it a BUG or feature by design?

 

The use case is to be able to ensure that the DC in a Blueprint always gets the .100 IP.

VRA 8.2 - Custom Form: Required Constraint Grayed Out

I hope I'm missing something simple here.  In Cloud Assembly, I create an input on my cloud template (blueprint).  In the corresponding custom form in Service Broker, I drag that element to the form.  But when I do, the Required field for that element under Constraints is grayed out - I can't change it from Yes. 

 

Am I missing something obvious here?  Or is this by design? 

 

My current workaround is to set a default value for that input on the blueprint.  If there is a default set there, then the Required field on the form is available again.  But I don't want a default value for these fields, I just want them to be null if not filled out. 

 

Thanks in advanced for any help!

Hello folks,

 

I am facing and issue where the redirection to the correct URL when accessing one of the vRA tenants is not working properly regarding the domain selection.

 

When I choose the System Domain domain it redirects me properly to the "tenant.localdomain IDM URL" but when I switch the source to the AD domain it redirects me to the installation URL "idm.localdomain" which is not even the Master Tenant.

 

This issue is preventing me for configuring Virtual Private Zones as the option does not appear in the Infrastructure tab even having all the roles configured.

 

Any ideas?

VRA 8.2 - Value Picker with External Source

Has anyone had any luck with populating a Value Picker form item with an externa vRO action?  The docs say that the action has to return a Properties array, but my action that returns a Properties array does not show up as an option as an external source for a value picker (no actions seem to show up actually) 

 

We have some fairly large dropdowns and I think the value picker could be a better experience for our users, but I'm not having any luck so far.  I'm also not entirely sure if it is meant to be used with just a list of custom options or if we always have to choose sort of reference type?  The wording is a bit confusing in the docs, but the example seems to indicate the former.

Hello,

 

I discovered the new feature "custom role" and it's great ! That's exactly what I need but I have an issue and I would like to know if I use it correctly.

 

I created a custom role names "Deployer" which allows :

- View deployments

- Deploy Cloud Templates

I want this role to be able to deploy cloud templates (blueprints) and see the status of deployments.

 

When I login with a user with this role, I only see deployments and cloud templates, that's great.

My issue is : In the "design" table, where the cloud templates are located, I can also "create" a cloud template ! And I don't want to role to be able to do this. Only admin will be able to create new cloud templates.

Is it a "bug" or I'm not using it correctly ?

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Best regards.

Gonna roll back the snapshots now..

vRA 8.1 - iaas rest api returning "Invalid mime type" error

October 20, 2020, 6:00 am

I've been trying to extract a response from the vRA 8.1 iaas API, with no luck so far. every API call to, for example https://$url/iaas/api/about returns, the error:

{"timestamp":1603193804909,"path":"/iaas/api/about","status":500,"error":"Internal Server Error","message":"Invalid mime type \"org.mozilla.javascript.Undefined@ac577ae\": does not contain '/'","requestId":"3bca07fd","@type":"org.springframework.http.InvalidMediaTypeException","cause":{"message":"Invalid mime type \"org.mozilla.javascript.Undefined@ac577ae\": does not contain '/'","@type":"org.springframework.util.InvalidMimeTypeException"}}

 

Normally I do not use an Accept or Content-Type header to force a specific content type and am relying on application/json. This works fine with other API requests like:

https://$url/blueprint/api/about or

https://$url/deployment/api/deployments

 

Including the Accept and/or Content-Type header with the value "application/json" returns the same error as above.

 

Does the iaas API request a specific schema or is this a bug?

Hello folks,


This time I am facing an issue while upgrade from vRA 7.5 to vRA 7.6. After the VA pre-checks, the pre-install IaaS checks fails because of "Model Manager Database missing" and I searched a lot on the internet for this but I could not find anything. Basically the SQL database where the Model Manager is trying to connect is working perfectly but I am suspecting that I have some files missing:

If this is normal, anyone faced this issue before upgrading?

But looking at the different API's available for vRA8 I cannot find anything there.
Looked in the IaaS API in the Network Profile section https://code.vmware.com/apis/655#/Network%20Profile/updateNetworkProfile

Also enable network tracing in Chrome to see how it's done via the UI but still cannot figure out what happens.
I can see a PUT against "https://vra01.*****.net/provisioning/uerp/resources/subnet-ranges/f3d1169e-42c3-4258-a620-7e5059ca72e5"

VRA 8.2 - Configure Bitbucket integration

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to configure my VRA to integrate our Bitbucket server. I'm following this documentation : Configure Bitbucket integration in vRealize Automation Cloud Assembly

The first step is done : Add the server with a user and a token. All went fine here.

 

Now I'm trying to add a project to the integration to sync Cloud Templates for example but I also receive this error : Invalid content source configuration

 

Here is an example of configuration I tried :

Type : Cloud Template

Repository : DCT/vra-blueprints

Branch : master

Folder :

 

The main problem comes from the repository parameter I guess. dct = the project in Bitbucket and "vra-blueprints" = the repository name. I tried many different thing like :

- scm/dct/vra-blueprints.git

- dct/vra-blueprints.git

- same without .git

- projects/DCT/repos/vra-blueprints

- DCT/repos/vra-blueprints

but nothing.

 

Do you know how to solve this ? Maybe it comes from another parameter or configuration on bitbucket server ?

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Best regards, Simon

vRA 8.2 Resize VM issue

Hi Community,

 

we are facing the problem that we are not able to resize any VM from the service broker or cloud assembly from a tenant org. vRA 8.2 is deployed as multi-tenancy environment and the tenant has a VPZ assigned where he can deploy to. Deployment of VMs works fine but when we try to resize a freshly deployed VM from servicebroker/cloud assembly we get the crytptic error message

 

Resize cannot be performed on Cloud_vSphere_Machine_1 since the state of the deployment/resource has changed.

 

No entry or error details under Request or Events log. Same error when we explicitly add the vCenter cloud account under the tenant and deploy to a project that is assigned to this cloud zone.

 

The resizing from the provider org/default tenant works just fine although.

 

This is a major issue for us, hope anybody can advise on that!

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

In 7.x versions of vRA you could have an XaaS blueprint that just executed a simple orchestrator task and upon completion it didn't leave anything behind.  In my testing with 8.x it seems like XaaS blueprints leave behind a deployment object with workflow ID, run ID, etc.  Is there a way to turn this off and have it not leave behind a deployment object?  It seems like it's just leaving behind a mess as the deployment doesn't really have any options.  I get the logging in it could be beneficial to an admin, but to an end user I think it's just clutter.

In 8.2 there was a bug fixed which now causes vRO to error if called with null or blank parameters are passed to an action. This is easy enough to handle by handling the null/blank value. Something like this:

 

if var == null or var == ""{ return ""}

 

Because of this I noticed the errors returned back from vRO are pretty useless. Even if you throw an exception.

 

My question is when you throw an exception, how can you return a helpful error message back to vRA?

Is it possible to provision or deploy catalog items for other users in vRA 8.x?

We want to provision deployments by forehand for a list of users.
In vRA 7.x this was possible because we could define the "requestedfor" attribute.

The environment I work with has vRA 8.2, vSphere 7U1 and NSX-T 3 deployed.

I have build 2 basic blueprints, based on a vsphere template. One should deploy a VM into an existing NSX-T network (overlay). The second should deploy the VM with the NIC connected to a dvs port group.

The NSX network and the network profile that is referencing it have the tag 'network_placement:nsx' assigned to it. Similarily, the vSphere port gorup and a separate network profile containing it have the tag 'network_placement:vsphere' assigned.

Both tags controllign the acces to the network resources are assigned to the project.

None of the networks is selected as "default".

The vSphere Endpoint is tagged with env:vsphere'.

 

Here's the blueprint for the vSphere VM:

And here the VM with the NSX placement:

 

formatVersion: 1
inputs: {}
resources:  Cloud_NSX_Network_1:    type: Cloud.NSX.Network    properties:      networkType: existing      constraints:        - tag: 'network_placement:nsx'  Cloud_vSphere_Machine_1:    type: Cloud.vSphere.Machine    properties:      imageRef: centos8minimal-template      cpuCount: 2      totalMemoryMB: 2048      networks:        - network: '${resource.Cloud_NSX_Network_1.id}'      constraints:        - tag: 'env:vsphere'

 

I have removed all input properties, to keep it as simple as possible.

The NSX version is deployed without issues.

However when trying to deploy the VM that has to be connected to the dvs, a few problems arise:

  • according to the request details, the constraint in the Cloud_vSphere_Network_1 is 'network_placement:nsx' and not 'network_placement:vsphere'. I have no idea how this can happen, since 'network_placement:nsx' is not even selectable. This of course invalidates the deployment, but the allocation itself continues and the vm is eventually provisioned.
  • when selecting the provisioned Cloud_vSphere_Network_1 element from the deployment canvas view, the resource name shows the connected NSX overlay network name (and not the dvs port group, as it should have been), 'Accout' is the NSX-T Cloud account (why??), Network type is 'existing'. Under 'Custom properties' however, 'constraints' has the [{"tag":"network_placement:vsphere"}] value (as configured in the blueprint).

It seems like the constraint 'network_placement:nsx' is somehow the default and is assigned to every network resource, overwriting any other constraint. I also do not understand, how a Cloud.vSphere.Network resource can be associated with the NSX-T cloud account?

 

I've been using following documentation for provisioning the deployment:

Network, security, and load balancer examples in vRealize Automation cloud templates

 

Can anyone help me with understanding how a vSphere network gets associated with a NSX-T account?

[vRA 8.X] vRO workflow for RedHat registration/de-registration during provisioning/deletion

Is there any good documentation on how to deal with RedHat registration for VM creation/deletion? What I really need is for the VM workflow to run a script or command line on creation (if RedHat) and similarly when the VM is deleted. I just can't find any decent source of documentation on how to manage that for v8.

 

Can anyone point me to a similar project walk through that would be helpful?
