Hi Daphin, By provding re-configure action privledge to the blueprint, I was able to sucessfully see the user modifying his resoures. Thanks.

Hi Daphin, I understand.. your first line gives me the exact need for me now. "If it's just a matter of having your deployed VMs join AD and then get removed upon decommissioning, then there's no XaaS needed." - When removing it must be a clean swipe from end to end, no stale entries should be seen anywhere in network on destroyed server. I had seen Sovlabs solution, since it isn't free bit of a concern. However am trying to get some more insights on it. So without using Sovlabs or XaaS, do we still have any other solution on clean swipe destroyal. I'm looking for something which can be achieved with whatever resources we have in hand. Thanks.

Hi Daphin, I could see there are possibilities with inbuilt VRO, but only deal is need to configure the fields appropriately to make the workflow function as per our Active directory. Do we have any link where i can details on adding these fields to map into the output object of my design. Any idea where I can get a step by step configurations to avail this Xaas blueprint in my original design. Thanks.

Good one Daphin, it worked out. I was not using UPN in right format which did the trick and joined the domain. How will I ensure to make this sit in right OU ? Also when I destroy this machine, where do I configure to make sure all the stale entries of this machine is cleaned up in AD and DNS. Thanks.

Hi Daphin, Am unable to get the options you specfied in my user portal , can you guide me through on where you enabled user to increase the resources. I have given additional values in my blueprint but still it looks the same, and I dont see a drop down like yours. Thanks.

Hi Daphin, I have a use case where my developers would choose the VM resources, so  I am giving them an option to enter their required CPU and memory in self service portal, along with IP address details as well. I am able to ensure that IP address provided on portal is getting added as static IP after the deployment. Now I just wanted to try adding CPU and memory as per user requirement. Thanks.

Hi Team, Initially I had created property  for CPU and memory with datatype: String, after including it to a blueprint, I got the below error. So I have once again deleted my property groups for CPU and memory, re-added it back with integer providing minimum and maximum values. Now adding the property back to my blueprint design still throws an error considering my property was a string, though originally I have mentioned datatype as integer. Had a doubt like whether my property updation wasn't properly checked in IaaS. So restarted my complete IaaS server along with appliance, no luck. Would be helpful if anyone can suggest.

Hi Daphin, Thanks for the update.  I have created a custom spec on my endpoint and added it my blueprint which worked out. Can we do anything without using a custom spec, like with a VRO can we create a workflow to use the IP's from network profile ?

I am trying to test my static IP's on a blueprint design. Trying to deploy a Windows 2012 box through a clone work flow from a template. I have created my network profile with required IP range reservations along with other network details like gateway, subnet mask, primary DNS. Now while designing my blueprint on network tab I have added my network profile and gave a static allocation. On custom properties I have mentioned profile name once again. In either case after my machine is deployed from the template, I don't see any static configurations on my server after its successful deployment. Request anyone to give additional information, like if I'm missing something else to ensure static IP's are being chosen.

Hey Guys. Actually I had this issue on Last Friday, when validating today found that issue is fixed and am able to see the templates successfully showing up when creating blueprints. I guess the problem is it had got updated slowly though the Inventory synrchroization is been complete. Thank you so much for your replies. I have done what was mentioned in your statements already.

Hi Team, I have added my Vcenter endpoint to VRA. My cluster names are visible and am able to see all the datastores listed when planning a reservation. Now I have given Data collection requests which is all completed. When creating a new blueprint, say for example creating for a windows server 2008 deployment, On build information, I have provided for Clone as an Action, now when browsing Templates, it is blank. Have tried marking the template as virtual machine and reverted back so that it gets re-registered to compute resources, but still I am seeing blank page. Appreciate if anybody can help. Thanks.
Thanks DG. This helped me in fixing the issue. Unknowningly I have created environment variable in User column, changing it to System variable and adding the Jre path fixed the issue.

Hi Team, During a pre-requisite checker, I got an error on Java installation, which is says Java not found and in the right pane with some fix like " Java version 1.7 or higher (64-bit) must be installed, the environment variable JAVA_HOME must be set to the Java install folder, and %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe m " I have installed the Java version and mapped the environment variable, but still my pre-checker displays as not installed. I ran a fix, but no use. Welcome any idea for further troubleshooting.
