Change IP addresses of VMware Aria Automation node or cluster


You can change the IP address of a VMware Aria Automation node or cluster.

For example, you might want to migrate your deployed VMware Aria Automation environment to a more convenient vCenter or to support VMware Aria Automation fail-over.

As a VMware Aria Automation administrator, you can use the following procedure to set a new IP address for the VMware Aria Automation node or cluster and then redeploy services to the new IP address.

Note:Before you proceed with changing the IP of a VMware Aria Automation node or cluster, you must verify that the node or cluster is in a healthy state. Attempting to run this procedure on a node or cluster that is not in a healthy state can create problems that are very challenging to resolve.

In this procedure, you will restart VMware Aria Automation in a specific and sequential manner. For related information about shutting down and restarting VMware Aria Automation, see Starting and stopping VMware Aria Automation.

  1. Verify that the VMware Aria Automation node or cluster is in a healthy state by using the following command.
    vracli service status
  2. When VMware Aria Automation is in healthy state, set the alternative IP of the node or cluster appliance(s) by using the following command.
    vracli network alternative-ip set --dns DNSIPaddress1,DNSIPaddress2 IPV4_address Gateway_IPV4_address

    If you are working with a cluster, set the alternative IP of each applicable node in the cluster.

  3. Shut down the services by using the following command.
    /opt/scripts/deploy.sh –shutdown
  4. If needed, perform a VMware Aria Automation fail-over or migration operation. See information about VMware Site Recovery Manager and your own internal procedures and practices.
  5. Change the IP of VMware Aria Automation by using the following command.
    vracli network alternative-ip swap

    If you are using a VMware Aria Automation cluster, you must change the IP address of each node in the cluster.

  6. Reboot VMware Aria Automation by using the following command.
    shutdown -r now

    If you are using a VMware Aria Automation cluster, you must reboot each node in the cluster.

  7. Redeploy VMware Aria Automation services by using the following command.
    /opt/scripts/deploy.sh

After you reboot VMware Aria Automation and the redeploy services are running, VMware Aria Automation should be available at the new IP address.

Environment VMware vRealize Automation 8.x Cause This issue has been identified where the problem appears when a single column Multi Value Picker or Data Grid is used. Resolution This is a known issue. There is a workaround.  Workaround: As a workaround, try adding one empty column in the Multivalue picker without filling the options. So we can add one more column without filling the value which will be hidden(there is a button in the designer page that will hide the column). This way the end user will receive the same view.
