Before you execute IPAM workflows, make sure that the Infoblox IPAM connection is available in the vRO Inventory tab. If it is not there, run the Create IPAM Connection workflow from vRO <admin> -> Library -> Infoblox -> vRA -> Helpers. Then go to the vRO inventory, select Infoblox IPAM, and refresh the selected node. Before creating a new IPAM connection, make sure that there is no connection with the same priority in the vRO inventory. |
