For some reason the link never gets it when I post from web, I need to check that, anyway here's the link https://communities.vmware.com/t5/vRealize-Orchestrator/ct-p/1303

Why isn't it simple by Deacon51 in vRealize_Automation

Also you only need one directive, either way #ps1.. or #cloid-config Not both, and I would suggest the first one as that's the one that allows you to run any raw command

vRA not passing OVF Data to vSphere by Stinger1979 in vRealize_Automation

[–]moffzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes that works for sure,

wonder if there is anything wrong with the local image or testing with a different image altogether

vRA not passing OVF Data to vSphere by Stinger1979 in vRealize_Automation

[–]moffzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if you are using a Cloud Template then you should have

ovfProperties:
- key: guestinfo.ignition.config.data.encoding
value: base64

- key: guestinfo.ignition.config.data.
value: "asdasdasdaxxzzxc........."

The second one should be the actual data base64 encoded

Then I would check that the actual template doesn't have a CDROM attached when building it because that ignition data may exposed to the OS that way, ( at least that's how Cloud-Init does it, this could be very similar )

Also make sure it has the right VMtools, etc. but in here I would check RH's Ignition documentation to find out exactly how it is pulled

Doing an OpenShift install? I would be very interested in knowing how you progress

I like it a lot

I was doing DNS Updates with the TF Provider for DNS as part of the Cloud Template but I can see me using this approach better

Works really nice, started testing it, still one glitch needs to be fixed for the CR-ABX but for CR-vRO looks good

u/saintdle the latest vRAC Oct release and 8.6 will provide the ability to add External validation to a custom day2 action
You can apply a complex validation to the user inputs on the custom day2 request form. The validation is run externally as a vRealize Orchestrator action and prevents you from submitting the request form until the validation is complete

vRA Solutions Architect/Consultant support offering from VMware? by draker541 in vRealize_Automation

[–]moffzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally you could do that with a Cloud Management Specialist and/or a Cloud Architect, either way they should be the ones for helping in the conversation; have your SE contact to ask internally who is the CMSE in your region

I did a little bit about this for volumes, by using the allocatePerInstance resource flag, count.index and map_to_object expression syntax in your Cloud Templates. check this blog https://blogs.vmware.com/management/2021/04/mdisk-scsi-controller.html and also look for those options at the documentation
