can vCAC Guest Agent be used to perform Day 2 Activities

     Hello,

I wanted to perform day 2 activities on the guest server using vRA guest agent when the server looses the ability to control the guest using any authenticated account.

I got understanding from vRA documentation that it can be done while server build process but how to make a call to vRA guest agent from Day 2 actions.

One of the use case we have is to add more storage to the Server where we wanted to go througth the change management process from vRO and make a call to vRA agent (somehow) to execute the script from the remote repository.

Issue is : not able to mount the remote repository because vRa does not have access to the guest server but vRA agent have.

Please Help!!

Thanks,

Mohit Goyal

Regards, MG

You do know they are workflows already to add a vmdk or extend a vmdk that should solve that use case yes?
