Deployment fails if Deployment Name is empty on Custom Form

$
0
0

Hello VRA'ers,

 

Trying to use the new custom form features and I noticed the _deploymentName property is not behaving properly. If I leave this empty, the deployment fails with:

Request [ef2442ed-d438-442a-a842-0c4f5a4c982c]: Property providerResource.name cannot be empty.;  providerResource.name may not be empty. Internal error processing completion of blueprint [PROVISION]  request [ef2442ed-d438-442a-a842-0c4f5a4c982c]. Status so far: [FAILED]

This property worked fine on non custom form enabled blueprints. Is there  anew property I should use for this? Or maybe there is a way to set the property differently so that it can be empty?

 

Regards,

Darrenoid


vRO Updated properties to Software Component

$

I need to have a VM property updated by vRO and then use it in a Software Component to install an application.  When I bind the Software Component property to the VM property, the information seems to be copied at request time as the software component is still working with the pre-vRO updated value.  Is there some flag, or something, that I need to set to tell vRA to use the dynamically updated value and not the value when the user clicks Submit?

Question :

Hi Team in doc there is a statement that "the database must be created in 100 mode". During deployment of vRA 7.4 in use of vRSLCM database is created in 120 mode. Is that mean that only for precreated database it must be in 100 mode?

Hey,

 

Sorry i'm a little new to javascript and i'm trying to create a custom workflow, basically i have an action that gets all vms from a cluster, i then wanted to write a scriptable element to select the servers which are powered on an pass them as an output. I keep getting the error "cannot read property "powerState" from undefined. I have tried a few variations of code but below is the latest.

input = vmlist

output = vmpoweron

Updating Component Profiles Using vRO

$
0
0

It seems when adding features to vRA, accompanying workflows to manage those features in vRO are slow to come by. The new component profiles have been around for a few releases, but I still cannot find anyway to update them programmaticlly from vRO. We want to use the image profiles to allow for more dynamic blueprints. The issue is we have over 100 templates to use and manually adding them to the GUI image profile value sets is very tedious.

 

The feature was added in vRA:

But there is no inventory item in vRO that reflects them:

 

 

When can we expect to have workflows or actions in vRO that match this new feature? It would really help us out to be able to create these entries using a for loop in vRO and then update them programmatically using vRO over time, as we update the templates.

Hi,

 

We introduced Debian Linux in our vRA (7.3) / vSphere (6.0 Update 3) Environment recently. I prepared a template, created the corresponding blueprints. However, when I try to deploy a Debian-based VM I get the following error message in the logs:

 

Machine : CloneVM : Requested value 'debian8_64Guest' was not found.

 

I grabbed the necessary Guest OS Identifier from here: https://www.vmware.com/support/orchestrator/doc/vro-vsphere60-api/html/VcVirtualMachineGuestOsIdentifier.html

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks in advance.

[vRLCM 1.2] Proxy settings or Offline Updates

We have just setup vRLCM 1.2 and are having a real PITA getting My VMware downloads to work behind a proxy.

It can communicate with the downloads site, but the downloads fail.

and of course, we can download via a browser behind the proxy.

 

We did already try this post, without success.

Problem with vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager proxy settings

 

Is there a way to manually update vRLCM with the updated product binaries we pull down ourselves, then upload to the appliance?

 

Would be nice to see the steps for this, as we have other deployments on isolated networks that we would also like to use vRLCM on.

 

Thanks in advance for any input.

Currently on the Testing phase of the deployment of VRA,

 

I have notice that, once a Machine is built within VRA and using custom configuration specs on vCenter to join the machine to a Domain and run sysprep. once the user logs on they are getting the initial setup for local admin account even tho they have logged on with there AD user.

 

how can i get this to skip this process.

 

Thanks.

When will vRealize Automation be able to connect to Azure Government cloud?

$

I have been playing around with vRA since I upgraded to VMUG Advantage.  I worked through every step of the process from the networking and firewall rules to appliance settings and configurations in Azure.  When I connect vRA to Azure Gov, it connects with no problem, but I cannot enumerate resources to create catalog items.  Any idea when the functionality will be completed for this?  I can't convince management of this or any other "upgrades" to our VMware environment if I can't get this connection to work.

 

I am running vSphere and vCenter 6.5 and vRA version 7.4.

Hi All ,

 

Good Morning,

 

could someone from blue print development team check and validate the following scenerio which has been taken from lab HOL-1821-02-CMP.

 

its easy to create plain  vanila blueprint but when it come to creating blueprint for multitier application there are few options avaiable.

iam refeering to the example mentioned in above lab wherein we need to create blueprint for deployment of wordpress application using centos and software componenets which are

imported to vRAusing cloud client .below is the screen shot from lab.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and below is the screenshot of metadata.yamlthat desxcribes the dependencies among different components .

 

 

 

 

 

 

and as per above file following blueprint is deveoped which is also shown in lab .

 

 

s

 

 

could someone validate that above dependencies which are shown in final blueprint are as per metadata.yaml file ??? for example where in yaml file php service is dependent on apache service.??

and similarly wordpress db is dependent on mysqlas per metadata file but not shown in final blueprint . 

 

 

 

Thnaks in advance.

How to delete orphan XaaS VMs in vRA 's inventory using vRO's plugin ?

$
0
0

Hi all,

 

I have an orphan VM in my XaaS inventory (vRA7.4).

The VM was build in XaaS with vRO (7.4), and a custom resource was created in my inventory, mapped to VC:VirtualMachine.

There was a problem in a Day 2 operation. The vsphere VM has been deleted, but the  inventory Item not.

My goal is to delete this element, without using database requests in vRA Appliance (vRealize Automation : Delete Orphaned Catalog Item vRA 6.x - vINCEPTION ).

 

I have tried to do that with vRO.

 

This is my strating code :

 

var vraItems =  vCACCAFEEntitiesFinder.getCatalogResources(vRaEndpoint);

for (var i = 0; i< vraItems.length; i++)
{
   if(vraItems[i].name.toLowerCase() == itemName.toLowerCase())
   {
       System.log("Found : " + vraItems[i].name);
        System.log("ID : " + vraItems[i].id);
        System.log("Status : " + vraItems[i].status.value());
     }
}

My element is found.

 

The status is VCACCAFEResourceStatus type.

I have seen the setStatus method on catalog resource object, but I need a VCACCAFEResourceStatus in parameter.

My goal is to replace ACTIVE by DELETED Status, like in sql solution.

 

I have tried to create a new VCACCAFEResourceStatus, but it failed.

     var xxx = new VCACCAFEResourceStatus();

     ReferenceError: "VCACCAFEResourceStatus" is not defined

 

I have tried to collecte actual status, and modify it, but I failed to give a new value.

 

 

Have someone a tip for me ?

- creating a VCACCAFEResourceStatus

- or parameter actual VCACCAFEResourceStatus

- or another solution

 

Thanks by advance

Storage capacity requirement issues when component profiles are used in vra 7.4

$
0
0

I am seeing a number of issues with component profiles in my environment:

 

1. The C drive for the machine does not show up in the request form storage tab when image and or size component profiles are added to a blueprint. This causes the Storage field to show 0GB in the request form and the Total capacity on the storage tab shows 0GB.

2. The user can add a disk from the storage tab equal to the max storage allowed, but, because the C drives allocated space is not reflected in the total capacity, the allowed storage capacity calculation is inaccurate and the request is allowed to go through. This results in a failed deployment with an error about being over capacity.

 

3. If both image and size component profiles are added to a blueprint, the allowed storage calculations are even worse. The Max storage amount is not even listed, and any size of disk can be added to the deployment and the request is still successful. This also results in a failed deployment with an error about capacity requirements. This is a picture from a blueprint with a max 350GB storage allocation:

I also noticed I can select Storage Reservation Policies even though I have the option unchecked in the blueprint:

 

4. Another minor annoyance is the storage tab on the request page has a truncated value for the "Total Capacity" at the bottom of the storage table. Users cannot see the Max Storage value unless the "Capacity" column is expanded extra wide. This should be in a separate area outside of the main table.

 

Is anyone else seeing this? Is this a known bug with component profiles? How can we can get the C Drive attached to the template to show up in the storage tab to accurately reflect the storage constraints on the blueprint? Not having it there might be confusing to the end user and additional disks added show up with ID 0, which is incorrect.

 

Regards,

Darren

vRA 7.3 - assign action to resource - show action depending on resource properties

$
0
0

I want to assign a custom resource action to some of my vRA objects, but show it only, if the object possesses certain characteristics.

In this case, the object would be a vSphere VM, and the action would recover a backup of the VM. I want the action to be visible only then, if the VM is backed up. The backup status would be indicated by a vRA custom property or a vSphere Tag, for example myCompany.isBackedUp = [true\false].

I know there is the option for "Target Criteria" when creating\editing the action, like here:

However, none of the clauses seem to be usable in my case.

Sadly the whole process does not sem to be documented at all, at least there is no mention on the Target Criteria selection in the 7.3 documentation:

Create a Resource Action

Any ideas?
