The vRO Plug-in for Dell PowerMax is a plug-in for VMware vRealize Orchestrator. It enables administrators to provide automation capabilities for Dell PowerMax storage arrays within vRO. It helps automate the operations that are required for provisioning and protection. One can also schedule and customize workflows.
The vRO Plug-in for Dell PowerMax delivers low-level and VMware-integrated workflows that enable automation of storage provisioning operations on Dell PowerMax arrays. The workflows can be used as is or copied and customized to meet the automation needs of the company:
A sample of the workflows are shown in Figure 90.
The workflows can be executed directly from vRO or the user can bring them into vRealize Automation (vRA) 7.x as a blueprint or in version 8.x as a custom resource. An example of creating a custom resource in vRA 8.7 for the workflow “Provision VMFS Datastores to ESXi Cluster” is shown in Figure 91.
Once the custom resource is created it can be added to a new Cloud Template and made available to users. This is shown in Figure 92.
