VRA_vRO Migration to 8.x

  Scope and Purpose of the Document The document  describes the detailed steps involved in migrating the vRA from 7.6 to 8.x version and testing the functionality post migration .  Assumptions and Constraints Following are the assumptions made while creating this document : VRA 7.6 is being migrated to 8.x version  VRA 7.6 was working fine . Migration Pre-reqs : Backup your vRealize Automation 7 source environment. Since , our source vRealize Automation 7 content has dependencies on vRealize Orchestrator, we must first migrate vRealize Orchestrator. If we migrate vRealize Automation without migrating vRealize Orchestrator first, migration fails. To migrate embedded vRealize Orchestrator content with vRealize Automation, we must first migrate vRealize Orchestrator. Manually create tenants using LCM. vIDM tenant migration is not supported in vRealize Automation 8.2. We must first import and install the IPAM plugin in vRealize Automation Cloud Assembly to migrate an IPA...

Configuring TLS (Secured Authentication)for vRA-vRO Appliances

Image
Scope and Purpose of the Blog This blog contains the use-case and requirements for configuring TLS (Secured Authentication) settings on VRA VRO appliances .  This document aims at mitigating the major risk of vRA vRO communicating with domain controller for LDAP queries in plain text\weak ciphers.  This document actually configures the server\devices to communicate with domain controllers using TLS(Secured Authentication). Assumptions and Constraints Following are the assumptions made while creating this document : For performance considerations, TLS is not enabled for localhost connections between some application services. Where defence in depth is of concern, enable TLS on all localhost communications. Disable insecure protocols such as SSLv2, SSLv3, and TLS 1.0 on all load balancers in case If we are terminating TLS on the load balancer.  vRealize Automation deployment uses strong TLS protocols to secure transmission channels for vRealize Automation appliance componen...
