During migration to vRA 8.2p1 (or earlier in the migration assessment) several "built in Resource Actions" are marked as "Not Ready".
Two of them are pretty important to us:- Connect using RDP- Connect using SSH(I will keep "Change Owner" for later)
Has anyone managed to create those Day-2 resource actions in vRA8?
Hi there!
Did you manage to get this working somehow?
yes and no, I have read that this functionability is added in vRA 8.3.It already existed in vRA Cloud and is now available in vRA 8.3 "onp-remise"
(called Connect to remote console)
However, I've had no change to test it yet.
I attached a screen shot of what "Connect to remote console" looks like in vRA 8.3. It opens a console to the VM in the web browser the same as in vCenter. It doesn't use a SSH or RDP client.
Thanks for your replies!
That unfortuntely is not a very effective Day-2 operation as it needs additional vCenter privileges for the vRA requestor in order to perfporm a VM remote console, and is for sure not a good replacement for a terminal session to a linux machine, as well as not permitting any copy/paste functionality.
Does anyone know if it is on the VMware roadmap to re-introduce the functionality to launch local remote clients?
Lack of RDP and SSH is a blocker for our vRA7->vRA8 migration.
Those options are widely used in our environment and cannot be replaced by vcenter access.
