HI
Has anyone implemented vRA 7.2 with Infoblox 7.3.4?
I am seeing an strange issue where IPAM IPs get allocated and released successfully but 'Update IPAM Records' workflow failing.
Infoblox setup created External workflow stub custom property to call "Update IPAM Records" workflow at the end but it doesn't seem to work.
VMware is suggesting to use event broker service instead.
Anyone has used either one method?
Thanks

We evaluated infoblox and after some tinkering we got to work as designed, it took us a little while since we have an HA vRA environment. We found limitations only being able to tie one domain to the registration when allocating to a single ip network. Our requirement is mixing different OS's on a network, which were in different DNS domains. We'll continue to monitor, I think Infoblox is doing some good work, they have a rich API and as the plugin matures, we'll look again.
We ended up using vRA for IPAM and script to register / deregister DNS records for now. We did use event broker two different subscriptions, two workflows and a script on powershell host. I probably could make it streamlined, but the way we used it, our biz needs were met. Sounds like a good blog article might need to do that.
PS - our DNS infra is Microsoft. The powershell cmdlets for dns made it easy.
for summary
Hope this helps.
