A global environment is created after an installation or a migration of VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle. A global environment displays the VMware Workspace ONE Access instance and version.
When you click the View Details on a created environment, you can view the lists of primary, secondary, and connector information of the VMware Workspace ONE Access that is used in the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle. You can view the product properties for each the VMware Workspace ONE Access cluster. To view the list of inter-product configurations, click the Product References.
- Topology
The topology viewer displays the group and node structure, vCenter, and product integration details between VMware Workspace ONE Access and VMware Aria Suite products.
- Initiate cluster health check
This option initiates an instant health check on the VMware Workspace ONE Access cluster nodes and provides a notification in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.
Based on the health status of the cluster nodes, a vIDM vPostgres Cluster Health notification is specified as either CRITICAL or OK. For the notification to be precise, verify that VMware Workspace ONE Access can communicate with all the VMware Workspace ONE Access nodes in the cluster and that the global environment VMware Workspace ONE Access inventory is up-to-date in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.
The health check includes postgres service status check, pgpool service (responsible for automatic failover) status check, and Delegate IP (database load balancer IP) availability checks in addition to basic VMware Workspace ONE Access service availability checks.
If a status is marked CRITICAL, a link to the KB article 75080 is provided. The health check runs every hour as a scheduled job. The latest health statuses are updated in the vIDM vPostgres Cluster Health notification.
If VMware Workspace ONE Access is clustered through VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle, you can use the Power ON option to remediate the critical cluster heath.
- Power ON
This option powers on the VMware Workspace ONE Access nodes and ensures that all required services are bootstrapped. It repairs any inconsistencies in a clustered instance (VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle clustered VMware Workspace ONE Access), such as fixing the Delegate IP (database load balancer IP) and any replication delays in the secondary nodes. If VMware Workspace ONE Access is clustered through VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle, use this option for any use case which involves powering on the cluster like snapshot revert, reboot, power on.
Note: When performing the Power ON operation, if you activate the Reboot vIDM nodes checkbox, the reboot is performed as a part of the remediation. If you deactivate the check box, the request fails if a reboot is required to remediate the cluster. - Power OFF
This option powers off all the VMware Workspace ONE Access services by shutting them down. It also brings down the services that are responsible for an automatic failover, and any related components in a clustered deployment. The option is available for single node and clustered node VMware Workspace ONE Access.
If VMware Workspace ONE Access is clustered through VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle, use this option for a scenario that involves bringing down the cluster, such as reboot and shut down. Creating a VMware Workspace ONE Access snapshot through VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle stores the snapshot after bringing down the VMware Workspace ONE Access services gracefully.
Note: A change in VMware Workspace ONE Access certificate requires re-trusting the VMware Workspace ONE Access certificate for all products and services that are integrated with it. When updating a certificate, you can select all currently referenced products for re-trust. For more information about product references, see Product references for VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle. For more information about hardware requirements based on the number of users in a directory, see System and Network Configurations Requirements for your product release.
