LB in blueprint working ok, but cant scale after deploy

hey all,

doing a POC at the moment, worked with 6.2 but can't find how to do this in 7.0

I created a blueprint with a single machine, and added on-demand-nat and on-demand LB. Configured that machine so it can have 1-4 instances. works perfectly fine

vRA deploys 3 machines, and configures NSX LB on edge.

in vRA 7 I can't figure out how to:

a) scale in/out (how can I remove 1 machine from the deployment. well of course I could always just destroy one of the deployed machines). More importantly how can I add a 3rd if I have 2 deployed. I can't seem to be able top reconfigure the deployment

b) how can I reconfigure the LB from vRA. I have no options other than destroy it?! any chance to change policy (change round robin to something else?), disable a pool member (without having to go to NSX)?

(i found this when clicking on view components. but again no actions)

I don't seem to have any further actions in entitlements. I enabled _everytghing_ to be sure

Any help really appreciated!

Yes, that's a regression from 6.x. I expect it will be addressed in 7.1. You aren't doing anything wrong.

ahh thanks a million. i thought I was going mad! 🙂

Is there a list of items that were removed, or (better) a feature roadmap for 7.1?

best regards and thanks again!

I don't believe that there is a roadmap publicly available at this point.

I haven't specifically seen a regression summary, but I'll see if I can find one.
