Aria 8 - How to change the compute of a VM deployed by Aria Automation (vCenter endpoint)

[japerrin]

Hi

I would like to know how to change/move a VM (deployed by Aria automation) from a compute to another (vCenter cluster).

I have tried to perform this task directly from the vCenter and wait the datacollection, but now the VM status is in "missing".

I haven't see any workflow in vRO able to peform this task.

Any help would be apprecied

Thanks

Dear japerrin ,

To answer this specific scenario , we can leverage vRO Worflows under  Virtual Machine Management -> move and Migrate -> 1. Migrate Virtual machine with vMotion  (Pass Destination Host details )

    2. Move Virtual Machine to resource Pool or Folder

Hope this helps you ..let me know if you need further details

Hi Swap

I misspoke. I know how to change a VM from one cluster to another via a workflow or directly through the vCenter interface.

 

The problem is that if I do this with a VM deployed by vRA (origin= DEPLOYED), the VM appears in vRA (after datacollection) in status=missing.

 

For the moment, the only solution that I found is to create a vRO workflow to unregister the VM and perform an onboard. does exists another solution to avoid missing status in vRA ?

Finally, I have open a case to the Broadcom support, the answer was :

1) Move the VM to another project wich uses the cluster/compute

or 

2) Move the VM to the target cluster from vCenter and then in vRA, unregister and re-onboard the VM

I have choose the 2 option and I have built a workflow to perform all the tasks

Double check that the users project is authorized for the new vCenter cluster.
