For a VMware Aria Automation standard deployment, there are specific network prerequisites that

must be met to ensure proper functionality and connectivity. Two critical components are:

DNS Server (C): DNS servers are essential for resolving the hostnames of the different components

involved in the VMware Aria Automation environment. This resolution is crucial for communication

between services and ensuring that the various components can locate each other correctly.

IPv4 Addresses (E): IPv4 addresses are required for assigning unique network addresses to the

different devices and services within the infrastructure. This addressing is necessary for network

communication and ensuring that each component can be reached over the network.

These elements are foundational for setting up the network environment that VMware Aria

Automation relies on, ensuring that all services can communicate effectively and that the

deployment is properly configured.

In a VMware Aria Automation multi-organization tenant configuration, the setup allows for multiple

tenants, where each tenant has the autonomy to manage its own projects, resources, and

deployments. This configuration is essential for organizations that require segregation of duties and

resources among different departments, business units, or customers. Each tenant operates

independently, which provides flexibility and security, ensuring that the resources and deployments

of one tenant do not interfere with another. This setup supports a scalable and manageable

approach to infrastructure and service management across large and complex environments.

The "First class disk storage type" is designed for full life-cycle management of a virtual disk in

VMware environments. This type of disk allows advanced operations such as independent snapshots,

cloning, and management separate from the VM lifecycle. It is the preferred choice for operations

that require high flexibility and full lifecycle management capabilities.

Create a new Image Mapping within VMware Aria Automation Assembler: This step involves creating

an image mapping that

the base image. It ensures that your deployment configurations

are applied to the correct base image.

Select the original Linux OS Virtual Machine template as the base image: Instead of creating a new

template, use the existing Linux OS template, minimizing the number of templates required.

Add the required configuration into the cloud configuration: This step ensures that additional

configurations, such as creating local users and groups, are applied during the deployment process

irrespective of the cloud template.

Save the image mapping: Finalize and save the image mapping to make it available for use in

deployments.

These steps minimize the number of VM templates by reusing the existing template and ensure that

additional configurations are always applied through the cloud configuration.

The VMware Aria Suite Easy Installer is a tool designed to streamline the installation process for

several VMware products, including VMware Aria Automation. Among its functions, it provides the

capability to register VMware Aria Automation with vCenter Single Sign-On (SSO). This integration is

essential for enabling centralized authentication and ensuring seamless interaction between

VMware Aria Automation and other VMware components within the vCenter infrastructure. The

Easy Installer automates and simplifies this registration process, reducing the manual steps required

and minimizing the risk of configuration errors.

When performing a manual installation of VMware Aria Automation using VMware Aria Suite

Lifecycle, one of the critical steps is to set up a certificate in the certificate locker. This step is

necessary for securing communication between different components of the Aria Automation suite

and ensuring that the deployment meets security standards. Proper certificate management is

essential for the integrity and security of the VMware environment.

The VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator Workflow Designer role is specifically designed for users

who need to create and manage workflows within VMware Aria Automation. Assigning this role to

the user will provide them with the necessary permissions to access the workflow design

functionalities and carry out their tasks effectively. This aligns with the security policy of providing

the minimum set of privileges required for the role, ensuring that users have the capabilities they

need without unnecessary additional permissions.

In VMware Aria Automation, lease policies dictate how long a deployment remains active. The lease

policy consists of three primary parameters:

Maximum lease (days): 10 - This is the maximum number of days a deployment can stay active

before it must be renewed.

Maximum total lease (days): 30 - This is the cumulative maximum number of days a deployment can

be renewed to stay active.

Grace period (days): 5 - This is the number of additional days provided after the lease expires for the

user to take action before the deployment is destroyed.

With the above settings, the deployment will follow this timeline:

Initially, the deployment is active for the maximum lease period of 10 days.

After 10 days, if not renewed, the deployment enters the grace period.

During the grace period, which lasts for 5 days, the deployment remains active but is marked for

deletion.

If the user does not respond or renew the lease, the deployment is destroyed at the end of the grace

period.

Therefore, after the 30-day maximum total lease (10 days initially + maximum 20 days of renewals),

an additional 5-day grace period is provided. The total period before the deployment is destroyed is

35 days (30 days + 5 days).

VMware Technical Support routinely requests diagnostic information when you submit a support

request. This diagnostic information contains product-specific logs and configuration files from the

host on which the product runs.

Automation Orchestrator Appliance​logs are stored in the​/data/vco/usr/lib/vco/app-

server/logs/​directory. You export the logs of your​Automation Orchestrator Appliance​deployment

by logging in to the appliance command line and running the​vracli log-bundle​command. The

generated log bundle is saved on the root folder of your​Automation Orchestrator Appliance.

When working with multiple versions of a VMware Aria Automation Template, it is important to

identify differences between these versions to understand what changes have been made and

ensure the correct version is published. The Diff option is used to compare different versions of the

template. This feature highlights the differences line-by-line, making it easier for administrators to

see what modifications have been made across versions and decide which version to publish.
