You integrate the two solutions by configuring the vRealize Automation tenant FQDN through the OpenStack management server and installing the vRealize Orchestrator OpenStack plug-in.
Procedure
- Enable the service that integrates VMware Integrated OpenStack with vRealize Automation.
- Log in to the OpenStack management server.
- Run the command to configure the VMware Integrated OpenStack tab for yourv Realize Automation tenant.
The vra_tenant
value must be uppercase only.
viocli vros enable -d your_VIO_deployment_name --vra_tenant YOUR_VRA_TENANT --vra_host IP/FQDN --vra_admin vRA_administrator_username --vros_host OMS_server_IP --verbose
- Prior to being able to login a VMware Identity Manager user to VMware Integrated OpenStack, assign a role or project to the group that user belongs to.
- Create JSON file and configure mappings between the vIDM domain, the Openstack project, and the OpenStack group.
{
"domain": {
"name": "Default", //domain where VMware Identity Manager users will consume
resource from.
"project": {
"name": "fed-project1", // new OpenStack project for this group of users.
"group": {
"name": "fed-group1", // new OpenStack group for these vRealize Automation users
"users": [ // list of vIDM users will be added to the group.
{
"name": "user1"
},
{
"name": ”user2"
}
]
}
}
}
}
- Apply the mappings configured in the JSON file.
vros_cli.sh add-mapping mappings_file.json
- Deploy the vRealize Orchestrator OpenStack Plug-In.
- Download the
o11n-openstack-plugin.2.0.0-XXX.vmoapp
file on your local file system from http://Your_OMS_server_IP/o11n-openstack-plugin/.
You can log in to either the vRealize Orchestrator embedded in your vRealize Automation server or the external vRealize Orchestrator connected to the vRealize Automation server.
- Log in to the vRealize Orchestrator Control Center as
root
.
- On the Control Center page, click Manage Plug-Ins.
- In the Install Plug-In section, click Browse.
- Select the
o11n-openstack-plugin.2.0.0-XXX.vmoapp
file from the local file system.
The vRealize Orchestrator server installs the plug-in. After the plug-in is installed, the Manage Plug-Ins page refreshes and indicates that the installation was successful. The page also displays a message prompting you to restart the vRealize Orchestrator server.
- Click Install.
- Click Startup Options to access controls and restart the vRealize Orchestrator server.
Results
You can now administrate VMware Integrated OpenStack through the vRealize Automation portal, design, and consume blueprints.
