I am using the built in workflow "Remove old Snapshot" and attempting to assign it as a Resource Action. Easy enough, but I am encountering an error when assigning the Input Resource.
The drop down for Resource type is blank and giving me the below error. Do I need to modify something within the custom action itself?
Workflow: Library > vCenter > Virtual Machine management > Snapshot > Remove old snapshot
what is your input for Remove Old Snapshot workflow ?
When I run the workflow through vRO the below input parameters are requested. However, when I try to set it via vRA the input parameter is grayed out.
You need to have an input for resource on which you do this snapshot removal operation.
:Input type example: CatalogResource
Then you can map this input with vcaccafe resource.
Thanks, where in vRO would I insert that input resource? I am looking at inputs tab is that the correct location, and below parameters since I want to remove old snapshots of VMs?
Parameter = vm
Type = VC:VirtualMachine
Quick update on this.
I ended up adding a new parameter for VC:VirtualMachine (shown in attachment). Now I am getting a value within vRA screen to add the resource action.
However, when I run the workflow the below error is received. Not sure what host or NTP they are referring to because all of my other workflows run fine. Any thoughts ?
"Unable to communicate with the remote host, since it is disconnected. (Workflow:Copy of Remove old snapshots / Check host and VC time (item14)#16)"
