50 vrealize Automation Reclamation Savings by Group and by Owner 51

51 Calendar of Events Allows end users to see a calendar of important events like leases expiring and machines being archived. Will be much more functional than it was in 5.2 in that it will allow users to click into the object from the calendar. Not only just for IaaS objects, but ALL objects within vra. 52

52 Editing Templates Alter the template body as well as the subject line through editing files located on the vra virtual appliance. Edit default templates as well as ones specific to a tenant. Install the templates from the KB article here: 53

53 Add Custom Fields in Approval Edit not only pre-defined properties when the approval is accessed, but also custom properties as well. Works for multi-machine, single machine, and ASD requests. Custom properties will not use the property dictionary during the approval and you cannot set conditional approvals based on the custom fields. Custom Properties 54

54 Swap Space Property There is a new property: VirtualMachine.Storage.ReserveMemory Allows customers to ensure that space on storage will be saved and allocated to memory swap. This means that if you enable this setting and the VM has 1 GB of memory and 5 GB of storage, that 6 GB total storage will be allocated and reserved for this machine in vra: the storage requested, plus the memory size for swap 55

55 VM Disk Improvement Previous to 6.2, provisioned machines could only have a max of 15 volumes because vra would only be able to attach to 1 SCSI port. As of 6.2, the maximum number of volumes a VM can have has been increased to 60 which is the maximum allowed by vsphere (4 controllers with 15 volumes each) 56

56 Telemetry Also known as the Customer Experience Improvement Program or CEIP. Allow customers to opt-in to send information back to VMware for the purpose of improving the product. Lives within the vra VA and is turned off by default. Available under vra VA VAMI -> Telemetry Can unsubscribe from the program at any time Can set when and how often the data is sent back to VMware along with data masking rules that you want to set up. 57

57 Telemetry Info Gathered When you enable the Program, vra attempts to establish a connection to and to automatically discover any proxy server you might have configured for your vrealize Automation deployment. Information that is gathered by the feature and sent back to VMware is the following: 58

82 UI Updates New Business Group drop down field within the catalog, request, and items screens. Lets users quickly filter by the business group Especially useful when users have access to the same blueprint but from the context of multiple groups. List of available business groups shows users the list of all groups that they are either a business group manager or a user on. If the logged in user is a support user, and they attempt to do an action on behalf of someone, the list of business groups will change to reflect the user who they are working on behalf of. 83

83 vrealize Operations vrealize Automation Integration Notes This integration will not be available with any lower version combination. If the integration is enabled, Tenant Administrators will see the vr Ops health badge for that machine in the item details screen 84

84 One-click support bundle generation Enhanced Supportability Designed to collect all logs from the vra VA AND IaaS machines, package them up, and post them to the "Last collected..." link for an admin to download. Makes it easier for admins to collect the logs for all vra VA machines in a distributed environment. This process can take quite some time to complete once clicking the Collect Logs button. 85

85 vra VA High Availability Cluster Info For distributed environments, improves manual work for when multiple vra VA machines need to be deployed behind a load balancer Handles the following: Copying files from one VA to another Changing security on files Manually disabling services Editing configuration files 86

86 vra VA High Availability Nodes List Lists all registered vra nodes that make up the service. The list does not differentiate which type of IaaS services are installed on nodes listed with a type of IAAS. If you have a DEM running that's registered, it will show up as IAAS even though it only has that small piece installed on it. In the case that you would want to remove a node from the list and the vra database, you can do so with a simple command against the vra VA and the unique identifier given in the "Node #" column. Once removed, if the machine tries to connect again later, the connection to the vra VA will fail. 87

87 vra VA Host Settings Certificate page is removed and consolidated into the Host Settings View the current certificate, generate a new self-signed certificate, and import a certificate from a PEM If you do not enter anything into the common name field when generating a certificate, vra will create the certificate using the machine name automatically. Along with a new look, there are a ton of checks that will occur: Load balancer certificate matches the local machine certificate Certificate chain is valid Certificate revocation list can be accessed If it does not, a message appears and the vra service will not be able to start 88

88 Database Log File Rollover Two new global properties added to allow admins to better control how and when the database logs get cycled. Located in Infrastructure > Administration > Global properties The below shown properties allow you to control the following tables in the IaaS database: dbo.userlog dbo.audit dbo.categorylog dbo.virtualmachinehistory dbo.virtualmachinehistoryproperties DynamicOps.Tracking.AuditLogItems DynamicOps.Tracking.AuditLogItemProperties DynamicOps.Tracking.TrackingLogItems DynamicOps.RepositoryModel.WorkflowHistoryInstances DynamicOps.RepositoryModel. WorkflowHistoryResults 89

89 Database Log File Rollover (continued) Values are operated in the following manner: DataRollover isarchiveenabled: True = Data is moved into archive tables at the interval that is stated in the DataRollover MaximumAgeInDays. The archive table names are similar to the original table names. For example, items in the DynamicOps.Tracking.TrackingLogItems table will be moved to the TrackingLogItemsArchive table. Once the data is in the archive tables, it will live there until the archive table is truncated from within the database. False = The data will be deleted from the table at the interval that is stated in the DataRollover MaximumAgeInDays. No record will be kept of these logs. DataRollover MaximumAgeInDays: Determines how long a log entry can live in the primary tables before either being deleted or moved into the archive tables. The default is 30 days. 90

92 CloudClient Overview By accessing a command prompt and then running the script, users are able to run commands against vra. The purpose of this tool is to create a layer of abstraction between the vra functionality and the end consumer to increase the ease of which users are able to run automated actions against vra. Generally, you would use this tool in the case of a northbound integration with another interface or tool. This tool is not a REST or SOAP API, but uses the vra API instead. This means that if a customer were to code an interface against the Cloud Client, the chances that they would have to change their code once a new version of vra came out would be low. All they would have to do is update vra and the Cloud Client, but all of their interface commands would remain the same the Cloud Client would be brokering the commands to the API as needed. 93
