About the integration
- With the VMware vSphere integration, administrators can automate complex tasks in VMware vSphere, enabling full management of your virtualized computing infrastructure. Use the pre-packaged templates, or design your own workflow processes using the built-in actions in the Ayehu workflow designer.
VMware vSphere Actions:
- This VM integration pack adds the VMware vSphere categories to the Activity Toolbox pane in the Ayehu workflow designer. This category contains the following activities:
Activity Name | Description |
vmClone | Clone an existing VM to a new VM |
vmCreate | Create a new VM with the selected parameters |
vmDelete | Delete an existing VM |
vmExists | Check the existence of a VM on a specific server (ESX or vCenter) |
vmInfo | Get the properties of a VM |
vmPowerOn | Power on a VM |
vmPowerState | Get the current power state of a VM |
vmHostEnterMaintenance | Enter a VM host to maintenance mode |
vmHostList | Get a list of all VM hosts in the vCenter |
vmListSnapshots | List all existing snapshots of a specified VM |
VMware vSphere Templates:
Template Name | Description |
Virtual Machine Provisioning | This workflow template allows you to provision a VM based on a pre-defined VM profile. You can trigger this workflow from an email or ticket request from your SD tool. |
Automate VMware snapshot | This template reads a list of servers from an Excel file, and creates a snapshot for each VM. It is very useful, for instance, before a maintenance procedure or a mass software installation. |
Delete old snapshots | This template retrieves a list of virtual machines, while deleting snapshots older than 30 days on each machine. It can be used to maintain your virtual environment on a regular basis. |
Delete specific snapshot on a list of virtual machines | This template reads a list of servers from an Excel file, and deletes a specific snapshot on each machine. This workflow can be used, for example, to delete a snapshot that was taken before an upgrade across your virtual environment. |
Power on list of virtual machines | This template reads a list of servers from an Excel file and powers on each server. When the procedure is complete, it waits 5 minutes and confirms that all servers are up. In the event that a number of them are still down, it will send an alert to an admin by email. This workflow is a great way to power on your environment after a maintenance procedure that requires shutdown. |
