Hi.
In vRA 7.x it was possible to create a resource action to be ran as a day 2 function. This in turn could have outputs set which could enable the updating of properties on a VM.
Now in 8.1, this no longer seems possible unless someone can tell me otherwise (I hope!). As I see it, day 2 actions ran against a VM come under against the event topic 'Deployment resource action requested' which has a very limited set read only parameters available.
A basic use case is as follows:
- VM blueprint includes a custom property of 'backup level' - gold/silver/bronze.
- Through the life of the VM, a user may wish to change this level via a custom day 2 resource action.
- As an output we wish to update the custom property against the VM so users can see what level is configured.
I have also checked the API to see whether updating a VM property set is possible this way, but can not see a function to do this...only tag updates seems supported.
Any ideas appreciated.
