How do I use
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
 in VCF Aware Mode

As a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) user, you can use SDDC Manager to automate the deployment of
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
 in VCF aware mode so that SDDC Manager understands which
VMware Aria Suite
 products have been deployed.
Running
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
 in VCF aware mode allows bidirectional communication and ensures that the VCF user deploys
VMware Aria Suite
 products in accordance with VMware Validated Design.

Running API Operations as a VCF Administrator

As a VCF administrator with the user name vcfadmin@local, you can use any of the
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
 public REST APIs, but restrictions and requirements apply to the following operations when
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
 is in VCF aware mode. No restrictions or requirements apply to the
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
 administrator with the user name admin@local.
Operations with Restrictions or Requirements

Restriction or Requirement
Update product admin password
PUT /lcm/lcops/api/v2/environments/{environmentId}/products/{productId}/admin-password
You are not allowed to update password references in VCF enabled environments. To update a product admin password, use the following example request body instead:
{
  "adminPassword": "locker:password:26005893-319a-4711-93a1-8eea7c3eecd4:CommonPassword",
  "currentAdminPassword": "locker:password:3b4b1c1d-bc20-4ed8-8b3c-d4540663c5fc:ConfigAdminPwdTest"
}
Update Product Node Password
PUT /lcm/lcops/api/v2/environments/{environmentId}/products/{productId}/nodes/{nodeType}
You are not allowed to update password references in VCF enabled environments. To update a product node password, use the following example request body instead:
{
  "currentPassword": "locker:password:3b4b1c1d-bc20-4ed8-8b3c-d4540663c5fc:ConfigAdminPwdTest",
  "hostName": "wsa-1.vrack.vsphere.local",
  "newPassword": "locker:password:26005893-319a-4711-93a1-8eea7c3eecd4:CommonPassword",
  "userNameToUpdate": "root"
}
Validate an Environment
POST /lcm/lcops/api/v2/environments/pre-validate
When you validate an environment before you create an environment, the request payload must include
vcfProperties
 as an infrastructure property.
vcfProperties
 identifies if the environment is VCF enabled. For example:
"infrastructure": {
  "properties": {
  ...
     "vcfProperties": {
        "vcfEnabled":true,
        "sddcManagerDetails":[{
           "sddcManagerHostName":"sddc-manager.vrack.vsphere.local",
           "sddcManagerName":"default",
           "sddcManagerVmid":"default"
         }]
        } vcfProperties
      ...
      } 
    }
Create an Environment
POST /lcm/lcops/api/v2/environments
When you create an environment, the request payload for deployment must include:
  • vcfProperties
     as an infrastructure property.
    vcfProperties
     identifies if the environment is VCF enabled.
  • clusterVIP
     as a product.
    clusterVIP
     identifies Load Balancer details for vRA, vROps, vRLI, and
    Workspace ONE Access
    . If deploying
    Workspace ONE Access
     with a single node, leave the
    clusterVIP
     field empty.
The following payload example snippet includes property and product values for a vRA 8.3 deployment.

           "sddcManagerVmid":"default"
         }]
        } vcfProperties
      ...
      }
