Ensure that you have set up a NIOS administrator account with appropriate permissions. For information, see NIOS Permissions Requirements.
- Create a network to use for operations with the Infoblox IPAM Plug-In for VMware. vRealize Automation supports IPv4 networks. For more information, see the section Adding IPv4 Networks in the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
- After you create a DHCP network, set the IPv4 DHCP options for the network. For information, see the section About IPv4 DHCP Options in the Infoblox NIOS Documentation. Note that IPv4 DHCP options can be used for storing network configuration information in Infoblox (default gateway, netmask, DNS, etc.) both for statically allocated IP addresses and DHCP allocated addresses.
- (Optional) Define DHCP address ranges from which you plan to allocate IP addresses through the Infoblox IPAM Plug-In for VMware. Also define DHCP options on the DHCP ranges. For information, see the section Configuring IPv4 Address Ranges in the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
- If you use internal DNS servers, create the authoritative DNS zones to be used by the Infoblox IPAM Plug-In for VMware. For the creation of PTR records, you must set up a reverse DNS zone. Ensure that you associate the zones with networks. For information, Configuring DNS Zones in the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
- (Optional) Set up DHCP network templates that are used by Infoblox IPAM Plug-In for VMware. For information, see About IPv4 Network Templates in the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
- Create the extensible attribute definitions in NIOS for the IPAM object attributes that are used in the workflows of Infoblox IPAM Plug-In for VMware. For more information, see Using Extensible Attributes in Infoblox IPAM Plug-In for VMware.
