Issue/Introduction

This article provides steps on removing an IPv4 address from a defined static pool in VMware vRealize Automation.

In VMware vRealize Automation, you have defined a static IP address pool and deployed one or more virtual machines using this IP address pool. There are one or more IP addresses that belong to this pool you do not want allocated in the future.

Environment

VMware vRealize Automation 7.1.x
VMware vRealize Automation 7.2.x
VMware vRealize Automation 6.2.x
VMware vRealize Automation 7.0.x

Resolution

To remove an IPv4 address from a defined static pool:
 
Note: Ensure that a backup of the vRealize Automation database is taken prior to performing these steps.
  1. Log in to your SQL server and launch the MS SQL Server Management studio.
  2. Connect to your vRealize Automation database.
  3. Expand the Tables directory tree.
  4. Right-click dbo.StaticIPv4Address and click Select Top 1000 Rows.
  5. In the right-hand pane, you should see a table representing your static IP pool.

    Note: The column StaticIPv4AddressState represents whether vRealize Automation has already provisioned this IP address or not.
    1 = Unallocated, 0 = Allocated
     
  6. To mark an unallocated IP address as allocated and which virtual machine uses is, run this SQL query, changing ‘VM_name’ to the name of the VM that the IP is applied to and changing 'Enter IP Address Here' to the IP address you wish to remove from the pool.

    UPDATE StaticIPv4Address SET StaticIPv4AddressState = 0, VirtualMachineID = (SELECT VirtualMachineID FROM VirtualMachine WHERE VirtualMachineName = 'VM_name') WHERE IPv4Address = ‘Enter_IP_Address_Here’

    For example:
    UPDATE StaticIPv4Address SET StaticIPv4AddressState = 0, VirtualMachineID = (SELECT VirtualMachineID FROM VirtualMachine WHERE VirtualMachineName = 'VMtest001') WHERE IPv4Address = '192.168.100.1'

  Quick Guide to VCF Automation for VCD Administrators VMware Cloud Foundation 9 (VCF 9) has been  released  and with it comes brand new Cloud Management Platform –  VCF Automation (VCFA)  which supercedes both Aria Automation and VMware Cloud Director (VCD). This blog post is intended for those people that know VCD quite well and want to understand how is VCFA similar or different to help them quickly orient in the new direction. It should be emphasized that VCFA is a new solution and not just rebranding of an old one. However it reuses a lot of components from its predecessors. The provider part of VCFA called Tenenat Manager is based on VCD code and the UI and APIs will be familiar to VCD admins, while the tenant part inherist a lot from Aria Automation and especially for VCD end-users will look brand new. Deployment and Architecture VCFA is generaly deployed from VCF Operations Fleet Management (former Aria Suite LCM embeded in VCF Ops. Fleet Management...

  Issue with Aria Automation Custom form Multi Value Picker and Data Grid https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleNumber=345960 Products VMware Aria Suite Issue/Introduction Symptoms: Getting  error " Expected Type String but was Object ", w hen trying to use Complex Types in MultiValue Picker on the Aria for Automation Custom Form. 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.
