Before you can download and deploy the Infoblox provider package (infoblox.zip) for integration with VMware Aria Automation from either the Infoblox website or from the VMware Marketplace, you must add required extensibility attributes in Infoblox.
This procedure is applicable if you are creating an external IPAM integration point for Infoblox integration with Automation Assembler.
Before you can use the
infoblox.zip download, you must log in to your Infoblox account, using your organization account administrator credentials, and pre-create the following Infoblox extensible attributes:
- VMware NIC index
- VMware resource ID
Prerequisites
- Verify that you have an account with Infoblox and that you have the correct access credentials to your organization's Infoblox account.
- Confirm that the Infoblox WAPI version is supported. IPAM integration with Infoblox depends on Infoblox WAPI version v2.7. Infoblox appliances that support WAPI v2.7 are supported.
- Review Using Infoblox-specific properties and extensible attributes for IPAM integrations in VMware Aria Automation cloud templates.
Procedure
What to do next
After you add the required attributes, you can resume the process of downloading and deploying the Infloblox package as described in Download and deploy an external IPAM provider package for use in VMware Aria Automation.
