Export-vROPsJsonSpec¶

Synopsis¶

Create VMware Aria Operations Deployment JSON specification

Syntax¶

Export-vROPsJsonSpec -server <String> -user <String> -pass <String> [-workbook <String>] [-nested] [-customVersion <String>] [-useContentLibrary] [-contentLibrary <String>] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

Description¶

The Export-vROPsJsonSpec cmdlet creates the JSON specification file using the Planning and Preparation Workbook to deploy VMware Aria Operations using VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle. The cmdlet connects to SDDC Manager using the -server, -user, and -password values.

Validates that the Planning and Preparation provided is available
Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to SDDC Manager
Validates that VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle has been deployed in VCF-aware mode and retrieves its details
Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
Validates that the License, Certificate and Password in the Planning and Prep Preparation workbook have been created in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle locker
Generates the deployment JSON specification file using the Planning and Preparation Workbook and details from VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle named '\<management_domain_name>-vropsDeploymentSpec.json'

Examples¶

Example 1¶

Export-vROPsJsonSpec -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -workbook .\pnp-workbook.xlsx

This example creates a JSON specification file for deploying VMware Aria Operations using the Planning and Preparation Workbook data.

Example 2¶

Export-vROPsJsonSpec -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -workbook .\pnp-workbook.xlsx -nested

This example creates a reduce footprint JSON specification file for deploying VMware Aria Operations using the Planning and Preparation Workbook data.

Example 3¶

Export-vROPsJsonSpec -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -workbook .\pnp-workbook.xlsx -customVersion 8.10.0

This example creates a reduce footprint JSON specification file for deploying VMware Aria Operations using a custom version and the Planning and Preparation Workbook data.

Example 4¶

Export-vROPsJsonSpec -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -workbook .\pnp-workbook.xlsx -useContentLibrary -contentLibrary Operations

This example creates a reduce footprint JSON specification file for deploying VMware Aria Operations using the Planning and Preparation Workbook data and deplpying OVAs from a vSphere Content Library.
