Actions Do Not Appear on Object

An action might not appear on an object, such as a host or virtual machine, because
vRealize Automation
is managing that object.
Actions such as Rebalance Container might not appear in the drop-down menu when you view the actions for your data center.
  • If a data center is managed by
    vRealize Automation
    , actions do not appear.
  • If a data center is not managed by
    vRealize Automation
    , you can act on the virtual machines that
    vRealize Automation
    is not managing.
When
vRealize Automation
manages the child objects of a data center or custom data center container, the actions that are normally available on those objects do not appear. They are not available because the action framework excludes actions on objects that
vRealize Automation
manages. You cannot turn on or turn off the exclusion of actions on objects that
vRealize Automation
manages. This behavior is normal.
If you removed the
vRealize Automation
adapter instance, but did not select the
Remove related objects
check box, the actions are still disabled.
Make actions available on the objects in your data center or custom data center in one of two ways. Either confirm that
vRealize Automation
is not managing the objects, or perform the steps in this procedure to remove the
vRealize Automation
adapter instance.
  1. To allow actions on an object, go to your
    vRealize Automation
    instance.
  2. Perform the action in
    vRealize Automation
    , such as to move a virtual machine.
