Day 2 operations for global environment in
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle

A global environment is created after an installation or a migration of
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
. A global environment displays the
VMware Workspace ONE Access
instance and version.
When you click the
View Details
on a created environment, you can view the lists of primary, secondary, and connector information of the
VMware Workspace ONE Access
that is used in the
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
. You can view the product properties for each the
VMware Workspace ONE Access
cluster. To view the list of inter-product configurations, click the
Product References
.
After an upgrade, all products currently integrated with global environment
VMware Workspace ONE Access
are shown in the
Product References
list. The global environment
VMware Workspace ONE Access
View Details
page contains the Day 2 operations:
  • Topology
    The topology viewer displays the group and node structure,
    vCenter Server
    , and product integration details between
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    and
    VMware Aria Suite
    products.
  • Initiate cluster health check
    This option initiates an instant health check on the
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    cluster nodes and provides a notification in
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
    .
    Based on the health status of the cluster nodes, a
    vIDM vPostgres Cluster Health
    notification is specified as either
    CRITICAL
    or
    OK
    . For the notification to be precise, verify that
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    can communicate with all the
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    nodes in the cluster and that the global environment
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    inventory is up-to-date in
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
    .
    The health check includes
    postgres service
    status check,
    pgpool service
    (responsible for automatic failover) status check, and
    Delegate IP
    (database load balancer IP) availability checks in addition to basic
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    service availability checks.
    If a status is marked
    CRITICAL
    , a link to the KB article 75080 is provided. The health check runs every hour as a scheduled job. The latest health statuses are updated in the
    vIDM vPostgres Cluster Health
    notification.
    If
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    is clustered through
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
    , you can use the
    Power ON
    option to remediate the critical cluster heath.
  • Power ON
    This option powers on the
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    nodes and ensures that all required services are bootstrapped. It repairs any inconsistencies in a clustered instance (
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
    clustered
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    ), such as fixing the Delegate IP (database load balancer IP) and any replication delays in the secondary nodes. If
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    is clustered through
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
    , use this option for any use case which involves powering on the cluster like snapshot revert, reboot, power on.
    When performing the Power ON operation, if you activate the
    Reboot vIDM nodes
    checkbox, the reboot is performed as a part of the remediation. If you deactivate the check box, the request fails if a reboot is required to remediate the cluster.
  • Power OFF
    This option powers off all the
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    services by shutting them down. It also brings down the services that are responsible for an automatic failover, and any related components in a clustered deployment. The option is available for single node and clustered node
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    .
    If
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    is clustered through
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
    , use this option for a scenario that involves bringing down the cluster, such as reboot and shut down. Creating a
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    snapshot through
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
    stores the snapshot after bringing down the
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    services gracefully.
    A change in
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    certificate requires re-trusting the
    VMware Workspace ONE Access
    certificate for all products and services that are integrated with it. When updating a certificate, you can select all currently referenced products for re-trust. For more information about product references, see Product references for VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle. For more information about hardware requirements based on the number of users in a directory, see System and Network Configurations Requirements for your product release.
