Create a VxRail VI Workload Domain Using the Workflow Optimization Script

You can create a VxRail VI workload domain using the Workflow Optimization script.

The Workflow Optimzation script uses the VMware Cloud Foundation on Dell VxRail API to perform all of the steps to create a VI workload domain in one place. See Create a Domain with Workflow Optimization for more information about the API.

Prerequisites

Make sure that the Prerequisites for a Workload Domain are met before using the Workflow Optimization script.

Procedure

1. Download the .zip file for the Workflow Optimzation script.
   See https://community.broadcom.com/vmware-code/viewdocument/vcf-on-vxrail-workflow-optimization-8.
2. Unzip the file and copy the directory (WorkflowOptimization-VCF-<version>) to the /home/vcf directory on the SDDC Manager VM.
3. Remove the storage name/value from the JSON.
4. Using SSH, log in to the SDDC Manager VM as vcf.
5. In the /home/vcf/WorkflowOptimization-VCF-<version> directory, run python vxrail_workflow_optimization_automator.py.
6. Follow the prompts to create a VI workload domain.
   The README.md file in the WorkflowOptimization-VCF-<version> directory provides detailed instructions on how to use the script.
