To deploy content from an existing VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle endpoint, you make a POST request.

The following procedure shows how to deploy content to a VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator endpoint. An example shows how to capture, test, and deploy content to a VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator endpoint using a single command.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that the appliance name and fully qualified domain name of the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle instance are available.
  • Verify that the URL variable is assigned.
    url='https://LCM-Hostname'
  • Verify that the content package you want to deploy has been added to VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.

Procedure

  1. Assign the reference ID of an existing VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator endpoint to a variable name. 
    vROEndpoint = '<referenceID>'
  2. To deploy captured content to the VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator endpoint, execute the following command. 
    curl -X POST \
  '$url/lcm/cms/api/v1/contents/pipelines' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW5AbG9jYWw6VGhpc0lzUGFzc3dvcmQ=' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
   "stages":[
      {
         "comment":"test-deploy",
         "endpointIds":["{$vROEndpoint}"],
         "tagNames":[],
         "contents":[],
         "contentVersionIds":["db118fe4-7ad2-42b2-895b-f53195b8a361"],
         "stage":"DEPLOY",
         "deployLatest":true,
         "includeDependencies":true,
         "deployAllFiles":true,
         "stopDeployOnFirstFailure":true
      }
   ]
}'| jq "."
  3. To track the status of the request, examine the response. 
    {
   "requestId":"f8951a41-b811-4645-81bb-3eb1b09a25cc",
   "status":"IN_PROGRESS"
}

Example: Perform multiple operations with a single command
