I have a simple blueprint that takes in inputs and creates 1 to many servers (using the count option) based on the inputs provided. But I would like to pass in a “list” of inputs in a dictionary format to this blueprint to create multiple instances for each unique set of input params in the list.
For example I would like to call one Blueprint that takes in serverNamePrefix,serverNameStartingSuffixNumber,serverTemplate,cpuCount,memoryInMB,hostFunction,serverCount as inputs multiple times with a list like this:
[
{
"cpuCount": "1.0",
"memoryInMB": "1024.0",
"serverCount": "1.0",
"hostFunction": "Management",
"serverTemplate": "Server 2016-SHB",
"serverNamePrefix": "MgmtServer" ,
"serverNameStartingSuffixNumber": "1.0"
},
{
"cpuCount": "1.0",
"memoryInMB": "1024.0",
"serverCount": "1.0",
"hostFunction": "Admin",
"serverTemplate": "Server 2016-SHB",
"serverNamePrefix": "AdminServer",
"serverNameStartingSuffixNumber": "1.0"
}
]
I customized the input form of my blueprint to take this in. It passes all of the info in the request details and it shows correctly in the history tab, but the first item in the list is the only one created
How can I have this blueprint process each of the inputs in the list as its own request for resources?
I can see in the events tab that it appears it is creating the first ([0]’th) element in the list, but never continues to the next ([1]’st)
The other option is to have my Service catalog request to call a VRO workflow which will loop through the list of inputs and call a blueprint for each set inputs in the list.
Is it possible for a VRO workflow/action to call a VRA blueprint passing in inputs?
Finally, I saw that VRA 8.1 is still missing nested blueprints, do you know if there are any plans to add that in the near future?
Thanks for all of your help.
