When you click the

Run Pre-Check

button, a report is generated indicating whether the pre-validation is in PASS or FAIL state. Therefore, based on the report you can modify your inputs given in the previous steps and click the

RE - RUN PRE CHECK

button. The report contains the following information:

Status of the Check
Check Name
Component/Resource against which the current check is run.
Result description about the check execution
Recommendation, if there is FAILURE or WARNING

The report also generates color coded status:

GREEN SYMBOL - PASSED
RED SYMBOL - FAILED
YELLOW SYMBOL - WARNING
GREEN FIXED SYMBOL - REMEDIATED & FIXED

You cannot proceed unless the pre-validation is successful. You can track the pre-validation request progress on the

Request

tab as the name VALIDATE_CREATE_ENVIRONMENT. When the pre-validation is finished and the NEXT button is activated, you can submit the request for deployment. When you are submitting, you can skip the pre-validation. By default, this flag is activated. This verifies pre-validations are run before deployment is started. If you skip this, then you can deselect the flag and click

Submit

. Pre-validation does not run again before the deployment begins.

If you click

Submit

with the pre-validation flag activated and a request named VALIDATE_AND_CREATE_ENVIRONMENT is created. If you click

Submit

by deselecting the pre-validation flag, a request named CREATE_ENVIRONMENT is created. You can track the progress of pre-validation requests in the

VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle

Request

tab.

Before you run a pre-check on

VMware Aria Automation

, verify all the component VMs are communicating with

VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle

appliance. After you activate pre-check and submit the create environment, if pre-check fails then resume the wizard from the

Request

page with a request state as PRE_VALIDATION_FAILED. From the report, if the failure is due to the wrong IaaS credential then rerunning pre-check on updating the Windows password in the product details page still results in the wrong IaaS credential. To fix this, update the Windows password in the product details page at each node level and rerun the re-check.

If the VALIDATE_AND_CREATE_ENVIRONMENT request fails with a status PRE-VALIDATION-FAILED, then you can validate your inputs by clicking the icon under the action tab. This directs you to the wizard where you can modify your inputs and run PRE CHECK or click

Submit

for deployment. When deployment is complete, you can see the last run pre-validation report. This option is available from the environment page in the

Manage Environments

page. You can also view the last run report under

View Last Pre Check Result

under

Environment

.
