Current version of vRSLCM in my lab is of version 8.10 PSPACK 9. Goal is to upgrade to version 8.12. As we all know from this version onwards vRSLCM will now be refferred as VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle I have mapped updaterepo iso on the vRSLCM appliance using datastore iso option Login into vRSLCM and then click on check for upgrade Remember to take a snapshot without fail before attempting an upgrade Here you go there's my update There's a product pane which tells you to acknowledge that necessary prerequisites have taken place , accept to move forward There are 6 validations performed Upgrade started During this phase check /var/log/vrlcm/vmware_vrlcm.log /opt/vmware/var/log/vami/updatecli.log /opt/vmware/bootstrap/postupdate.log After few minutes , here you go , the all nee VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle 8.12 Here's the home page Environments pane Remember , I just upgraded by vRSLCM and once done , as expected all my existing products would start displaying the new names. Unless i upgrade the product, on the product end it would still show the old branding. That's the system settings This concludes uprgade of vRSLCM to what now we call VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle 8.12

Recently , worked on a case where user had challenges in creating a webhook for git We were hitting an exception stating 400 Bad Request from POST http://identity-service-prelide-sb.cluster.local:8000/csp/gateway/am/api/auth/api-tokens/authorize When we fill all the information needed to save / create the webhook , we hit above exception.

vIDM DB partition is full or nearly out of space. To validate the DB partition is using most of the space run the following commands: du -sh /db/elasticsearch du -sh /db/rabbitmq du -sh /db/data This will allow to see that /db/data taking most of the space.

I wanted to explore what really happens in the background and understand the whole flow during upgrade and product support pack implementation. This is the most comprehensive guide ever written for vRSLCM in terms of upgrade So , I decided to deploy a vRSLCM 8.6.2 and then upgrade it to 8.8. After that's successful , i would then apply 8.8.0.1 Policy that's PSPAK1 Here's the link to the whole documentation , download the pdf which has compete steps and snippets Attaching mind map here just for reference. This is present in the pdf too. Snippets in the document explains what log you need to check on each phase of the upgrade

When you perform an upgrade to latest version of vRSLCM that's 8.8.2.3 and you perform a "Check for Upgrade" it would throw a red banner which looks like an exception with no message This is a cosmetic issue and has no impact of product functionality Ideally , when your on latest version of vRSLCM , then you perform a system upgrade check you would be returned that there is no upgrade available. This is still the behavior in the background. Due to a known issue instead of a message we get an exception. This behavior is being fixed in upcoming release of vRSLCM From logs perspective , when you click on "check for upgrade" this is what happens in the background Reference: vmware_vrlcm.log ## checks if it's a vcf based env, it's not ## 2022-08-11 08:29:17.676 INFO [http-nio-8080-exec-4] c.v.v.l.l.c.DeploymentsController - -- is vcF user ::false ## executes update check command ## 2022-08-11 08:29:17.677 INFO [http-nio-8080-exec-4] c.v.v.l.u.ShellExecutor - -- Executing shell command: /opt/vmware/bin/vamicli update --check 2022-08-11 08:29:17.679 INFO [http-nio-8080-exec-4] c.v.v.l.u.ProcessUtil - -- Execute /opt/vmware/bin/vamicli ## result returned is absolutely right.

Attaching a pdf which has same information Author ARUN NUKULA Environment vROps Source Version: 8.6.2 Target Version : 8.6.4 vRSLCM 8.8.2 PSPACK 2 Note: This blog does not contain any customer facing data. It's performed in a lab environment whic has been destroyed Procedure These are the different environments in my vRSLCM. Upgrade would be performed on tvrops environment It's a single node vROps instance Took a snapshot before beginning any sort of a task on the product Logging into the product , i have three integrations all of those adapters are in functional state vCenter 8.x LogInsight NSXT Logged into vRSLCM , then performed inventory sync Once that's successful , go ahead and then click on upgrade Then we would be prompted with the repository url There would be an APUAT test performed. Once the APUAT test is completed , we can download the report or view it by clicking on view report When we click on download report , it would download a zip file with following contents Opt for a snapshot even though i've taken one just before the upgrade manually You may open index.html using browser which would show you the report Its pretty much a new system so there is nothing really in it. Hence the report is blank Then the services check would happen Once prechecks are done , you can download the report if one want's to use it as an articfact for upgrade and then click on next Validate all inputs for uprgade and click on submit to trigger uprgade The moment we click on submit upgrade is iniitiated There are 10 stages for this upgrade ( stages will vary if it is a cluster ) Stage 1: Clusteronlineofflineconfiguration 1.

Hence this issue will not ben seen anymore. There are health checks which can be enabled and disabled on environment level which would cater to this requirement.

PDF document Demo vRSLCM 8.10 bring 2 major features on the table with respect to vRealize Automation 1. Enable / Disable Pendo in vRA 8.x through vRSLCM 2. Auto Revert Feature when there's an upgrade failure in vRA 8.x In this blog, we will discuss Pendo Integration and how it works through vRSLCM 8.x Pendo integration for vRA in vRSLCM What's Pendo and Why is it used? Pendo is a product-analytics app built to help software companies develop products that resonate with customers. The tool is used for collecting page clicks, feature clicks, providing in-app guides, and producing various kinds of reports, which are based on tagged pages and features When was it introduced in vRealize Automation 8.x? vRealize Automation participates in VMware's original Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) and also the Pendo Customer Experience Program (Pendo CEIP) for vRealize applications. Pendo CEIP was introduced in vRA 8.8 verison. You can separately join or leave the VMware original Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) and the Pendo Customer Experience Program (Pendo CEIP). Each program collects somewhat different types of customer interaction data, as described below. Original CEIP The original CEIP provides VMware with information that enables designers and engineers to improve products and services, fix problems, and advise you on how best to deploy and use VMware products and services. It collects usage and runtime data to help gauge system stability and the consumption levels of different features. This information also helps VMware designers and engineers determine what to build next based on which use-cases and features are being used or not used. You can join this CEIP when you install vRealize Automation with the vRealize Lifecycle Manager (LCM). After installation, vRealize Automation administrators and enabled users can also join or leave the program by using vracli ceip command line options. Pendo CEIP Pendo is an integrated third-party tool that collects user activities and provides analytics to vRealize Automation product development. The Pendo CEIP collects workflow data based on your interaction with the user interface. This information helps VMware designers and engineers develop data-driven improvements to the usability of products and services. You can join or leave the Pendo CEIP by using vracli ceip pendo command line options. Enabled users can also join or leave the Pendo CEIP by using options in their vRealize Automation user interface. How was Pendo being enabled till now on vRA 8.x? Command Line Method One can join, leave, or verify the Pendo Customer Experience Improvement Program (Pendo CEIP) for vRealize services as follows. Join Log in to the vRealize Automation appliance command line as root. Run the vracli ceip pendo on command. Restart vRealize Automation services by running the /opt/scripts/deploy.sh command. Leave Log in to the vRealize Automation appliance command line as root. Run the vracli ceip pendo off command. Restart vRealize Automation services by running the /opt/scripts/deploy.sh command. Verify Log in to the vRealize Automation appliance command line as root. Run the vracli ceip pendo status command. UI Method You can join or leave the Pendo CEIP for vRealize services by using the following on-screen interaction sequence in vRealize Automation. From the active vRealize Automation service, click the question mark Help toggle (?) in the upper right area of the screen. Alternately and if visible, you can click Cookie Usage in the Cookie banner. If you clicked the ? icon, click Cookie Usage in the lower right area of the subsequent Help page. Review cookie usage and how to opt-out ocntent on subsequent page What's new with Pendo Integration with vRA using vRSLCM 8.10 then ? vRSLCM 8.10 now provides option to toggle pendo settings as a day-2 action on vRealize Automation product. Select the Environment , then the product vRealize Automation. Click on the three dots where you have list of day-2 actions available for the product. There would be an option called "Toggle Pendo Setting" When we click on "Toggle Pendo Setting" , we do get a dialogue box stating when you perofrm toggle operation whether it's "ON" or "OFF" , there would be service restart hence downtime is expected. If it's a clustered environment then the downtime could increase a bit compared to single node. Let's understand what happens when you enable pendo and check it's flow when you disable as well. Enabling Pendo Click on the three dots and then in the drop down select " Toggle Pendo Setting " Took a snapshot before changing as a precautionary measure. Not really needed but does not harm either. Default option is "OFF" , we will change it to "ON" The moment we click submit a request is generated with 2 stages Stage 1: Toggle pendo setting on vRealize Automation Host 1. Start 2. Start toggle pendo on vRealize Automation Host 3. Toggle pendo on vRealize Automation Host initiated 4. Restarting services on vRealize Automation host 5. Check Pendo status on vRealize Automation host 6. Final Stage 2 Update Environment Details 1. Start 2. Update Environment Details 3.

VMware released vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.10 on 11th October 2022. This release comes with lot's of exciting features. In this video , we will discuss one such feature introduced in this version which would provide integration between vRealize Suite products With vRealize Log Insight, you can now perform log forwarding configuration from other vRealize Suite products to vRealize Log Insight. Similarly, with vRealize Operations Manager, you can now perform management pack configuration of other vRealize products in vRealize Operations Manager. With this info let's get into the lab and explore how this works PDF Demo Procedure Creating an environment named "Staging" which would consists of following products vRealize Automation vRealize Operations vRealize LogInsight vRealize SaltStack Config Accept EULA Assign licenses will be associated with the products being deployed Certificate has already been created inside locker , so it's just time to use it now Select the infrastructure properties The next step is to configure product properties. This is the place where you implement inter integrations Starting with vRealize Automation , we would fill all of the product properties needed for a successful install We have a new option to check a box which would enable vRLI Log Forwarding Configuration and Monitoring with vROps In the same manner, for vRealize LogInsight as well you have an option to monitor with vROps. That's just a check box which needs to be addressed One difference for vROps is that it needs management pack to be installed. The pak files can be uploaded to /data partition of vRSLCM. Then click on the box which says "EDIT ADAPTER FILES SELECTION" There are three management packs 1. Management pack for vRO 2. Management pack for SDDC Health 3. Management Pack for VMware Identity Manager Adapter Mention the path where the pak files are stored. that's /data which is recommended. Then when we click on "DISCOVER" all the pak files available will be displayed. Based on the previous selection , respective pak files will be installed and then configured during installation We also have an option to select what log entities to be pushed to vRLI from vROps Saltstack product properties page Now that we have all of the parameters needed entered , we will now go ahead and click next to perform prechecks Since all validations are now good , we will submit the request so that environment deployment can start Based on the number of products , number of stages would vary Finally installation completed. Took around 1 hour and 52 minutes to deploy all 4 products As discussed we did select vROps and vRA to push logs to vRLI during it's deployment itself. That's what we see in the below screenshot which shows 2 sources who are injecting the logs. Even with vROps the adapter configuration is done automatically and management packs are installed. Staging environment is just deployed so the health information should be available pretty soon Remember , there are Day-2 actions available for Log Forwarding and Management Pack installation on respective products This concludes the blog. Happy Learning
