This article explains the below steps on how to create a request from a service/blueprint/catalog in vRealize Automation:
Request a Service
Track Your Request
Examine Your Deployment
Destroy Your Deployment
Request a Service:
You request a Ubuntu OS virtual machine from the vRealize Automation Service Catalog
Login to your vRA portal https://vra.fqdn.local
Username: configadmin
Password: Password
Click Service Broker
On the Catalog tab, click REQUEST against the Ubuntu item
This service catalog includes services that vRealize Automation administrators offer to users.
Ubuntu is a service that you request as a user
Enter Ubuntu-Test1 as the deployment name
Click SUBMIT
Track Your Request:
You track the requested service under the Deployments tab.
Click Cloud Assembly
Click on Resources
On the Deployments tab, click Ubuntu-Test1
Click the History tab
The History tab provides the status of the virtual machine deployment states.
Login to your vCenter https://vcsa.fqdn.local
In the Recent Tasks pane, track the progress of the Ubuntu OS virtual machine as it is cloned, customized, and powered on
Return to the vRealize Automation Console tab
Wait for the provisioning to finish. This step might take up to 2 minutes.
Do not close the deployment after it finishes
Examine Your Deployment:
Your virtual machine is an item in vRealize Automation. After a request is complete, you have a new item in your console.
Click the Topology tab
Select Cloud_vSphere_Machine_1 on the topology tab
Expand the General section and record the IP address of this virtual machine
Expand the Custom properties section and record the image used to deploy this virtual machine
Click CLOSE
Destroy Your Deployment:
You use vRealize Automation to destroy your virtual machine. When an item is not needed, you can destroy it. Destroying unneeded items saves resources.
Click the vertical ellipsis icon next to the PhotonOS-Lab1 deployment
Click Delete
Click SUBMIT
Track the request to destroy your virtual machine in the vSphere Client and in the vRealize Automation services console
When your virtual machine is powered off and deleted, log out from the top-right corner
