By using VM groups, you can define the startup order of virtual machines. The startup order you define ensures that vSphere HA powers on the clustered Workspace ONE Access virtual machines before the VMware Aria Automation virtual machines.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management domain vCenter Server at https://<management_vcenter_server_fqdn>/ui by using an account with Administrator privileges.
  2. In the Hosts and clusters inventory, expand the management domain vCenter Server tree and expand the management domain data center.

  3. Select the default management vSphere cluster and click the Configure tab.

  4. Create a virtual machine group for the VMware Aria Automation cluster virtual machines.

    1. In the left pane, select Configuration > VM/Host groups and click Add VM/Host group.

    2. From the Type drop-down menu, select VM group.

    3. Enter your values from the VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook and click OK.

  5. Create a rule to power on the clustered Workspace ONE Access virtual machines before the VMware Aria Automation cluster virtual machines.

    1. In the left pane, select Configuration > VM/Host rules and click Add VM/Host rule.

    2. Configure the following settings, enter your values from the VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook, and click OK.
