 Changing IP Addresses in Aria Automation

https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleNumber=390017

Issue/Introduction

Network changes may require updating Aria Automation's IP addresses. However, renaming server hostnames or directly migrating the database is unsupported. This guide details the only supported method for changing IP addresses without disrupting services.

Environment

VMware Aria Automation 8.x

Resolution

To safely update Aria Automation IP addresses, adhering to Broadcom's documentation (Change IP Addresses of vRA Node or Cluster), follow these steps:

Pre-Change Preparation:

Backup: Perform a full backup of your Aria Automation deployment.
DNS Updates: Update DNS records to reflect the new IP addresses.
Verify Infrastructure: Ensure all required network infrastructure is properly configured for the new IP addresses.

Changing the IP Address:

Follow Broadcom's Procedure: Use the provided procedure within the documentation to change the IP addresses of the Aria Automation nodes. This involves modifying network settings within the appliance.
Change IP addresses of VMware Aria Automation node or cluster
Update Integrations: Update integrations (vSphere, NSX, vRO, etc.) with the new IP addresses. Verify certificates and credentials after updating.

Post-Change Verification:

Accessibility: Verify access to the Aria Automation UI, API, and CLI using the new IP addresses.
Workload Functionality: Test workload deployment, management, and resource actions to ensure proper operation.
Integration Connectivity: Verify connectivity between Aria Automation and all integrated systems.
DNS Verification: Confirm that DNS resolution is working as expected.

Important Note:

Hostname changes are not supported. Database export/restore migrations are not supported due to Kubernetes dependencies.

  The Guardrails of Automation VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 has redefined private cloud automation. With full-stack automation powered by Ansible and orchestrated through vRealize Orchestrator (vRO), and version-controlled deployments driven by GitOps and CI/CD pipelines, teams can build infrastructure faster than ever. But automation without guardrails is a recipe for risk Enter RBAC and policy enforcement. This third and final installment in our automation series focuses on how to secure and govern multi-tenant environments in VCF 9.0 with role-based access control (RBAC) and layered identity management. VCF’s IAM Foundation VCF 9.x integrates tightly with enterprise identity providers, enabling organizations to define and assign roles using existing Active Directory (AD) groups. With its persona-based access model, administrators can enforce strict boundaries across compute, storage, and networking resources: Personas : Global Admin, Tenant Admin, Contributor, Viewer Projec...
