Provisioning a VM

To create a VM with Infoblox IPAM properties, complete the following steps:

1. In vRealize Automation, go to the Catalog tab.
2. Click Request for the appropriate pre-configured service.
3. Select the machine defined in the blueprint.

4. Specify the general details for the VM.

5. Specify the storage details for the VM.

6. On the Properties tab, you can either use the displayed Infoblox IPAM properties as is, or modify them by selecting a property and clicking Edit.
   
   
   

   For properties description, see Appendix B Infoblox IPAM Properties. To learn which properties to set to TRUE and FALSE when requesting a VM with specific records, see Appendix D Record Properties for VM Requests. For information about customizing the Infoblox IPAM properties, see Customizing the Property Group.
   Note that if you create a VM with an A record only, then the Reconfigure operation does not support changing the port group. Instead, create the VM with a combination of an A record and a Fixed Address record, or with an A record and a Reservation record.

7. Click Submit.

8. Click OK.
   To see the execution information for the request, go to the Requests tab in vRealize Automation and select the request.
   In vRealize Orchestrator, you can go to the Infoblox vRA workflows section and see that the Allocate workflow is triggered and displays its execution information on the Logs tab. For more information, see vRA Workflows.
   Then, you can go to the Infoblox Grid Manager, select Data Management –> IPAM Home and see that the IP address is registered.
