How to provision VMs through vRA to use existing NSX Edge load balancer

[RohitVCP7]

Hi,

i want to catalog which can provision VM (eg Web server) and this web server should also add in  existing NSX Edge load balancer.

Any one having any idea how we can achieve this, i head that it can be achieved with customizing vRO workflow.

If you are using vRA 7.3, day 2 operations now available within vRA. You can edit deployment to update existing LB config Reconfigure a Load Balancer in a Deployment

However, if you are going to edit existing deployment as part of provisioning process then I believe yes you would need vRO workflow to find the correct NSX Edge and update the deployment.

The vRO workload may already available and you need to customise and call the workflow probably as part of post provisioning VM process.

Subforum vRealize Automation or VMware vRealize Orchestrator may be more suitable to discuss how to do this in details

Thanks, Bayu

I am using vRA 7.2, so let me know if you have a custom workflow which can allow using existing NSX LB and add new provision VMs into it.
