SDDC Manager APIs are secured using token-based authentication.
As a first step before invocation of any API, an access token has to be obtained.
Invoking the Token API returns a token pair - access token and refresh token.
To invoke an API, the access token has to be passed in the Authorization header as a Bearer token.

Prerequisites

The following data is required :-
- VCF Credentials
  - User created in SSO or AD domain and associated as an ADMIN or OPERATOR or VIEWER role in VCF
  - Username
  - Password

Note	For the sake of brevity, the Bearer tokens have been abbreviated in the code snippets throughout this document.

Note	To create a token pair with "apiKey", refer Obtain access token for a service user section.

Steps

Invoke the API with the right credentials.

A workload domain is a policy based resource container with specific availability and performance attributes that combines compute (vSphere), storage (vSAN) and networking (NSX) into a single consumable entity.

2.8.1. Create a Domain

Create a Domain workflow automatically:

Deploys an additional vCenter Server Appliance for the new domain within the management domain.
By leveraging a separate vCenter Server instance per domain, software updates can be applied without impacting other domains. It also allows for each domain to have additional isolation as needed.

Prerequisites

The following data is required
- Name of the domain
- vCenter details
  - Name of the vCenter
  - Network details
    
    IP Address of the vCenter
    
    FQDN of the vCenter

2.8.2. Update a Domain

Update a Domain workflow:

Import the primary cluster
- For the first NSX-T VI Domain in your environment, the workflow deploys a cluster of three NSX-T Managers in the management domain. The workflow also configures an anti-affinity rule between the managers to prevent them from being on the same host for High Availability. Each subsequent NSX-T Domains will either share this NSX-T Manager Cluster or create its own.
  - If required, the new domain can also share the NSX-T cluster with an existing workload domain. In this scenario, new NSX-T Managers will not be deployed, but will be shared with an existing NSX-T Cluster.
    
    For this, fetch the information of the NSX-T Managers that can be shared.
    
    TIP: Get the NSX-T Clusters
    
    From the list of NSX-T Clusters fetched, only the existing NSX-T clusters for which "isShared" is true, can be shared with the new domains being deployed.
    
    The precise information of the existing NSX-T Cluster fetched from above should be used in the "nsxTSpec" section of the input payload.
- Licenses integrate the deployed components with the appropriate pieces in the Cloud Foundation software stack.

Prerequisites

VxRail Domain should have already been created.
In case of DHCP option, a DHCP server must be configured on the VLAN of the domain. When NSX creates VTEPs for the domain, they are assigned IP addresses from the DHCP server.
In case of static IP for VTEPs, the network information listed below needs to be specified.

The following data is required

ID of the created domain
Host details
- For each host
  - IP address of the host
  - FQDN of the host
  - user name of the host
  - password of the host
Datastore details
- License for the vSAN datastore
VxRail Manager Details
- admin and root credentials
Network Details
- List of VDS (which should have a single element for VxRail)
  - For each VDS
    
    VDS name
    
    This can either refer to the name of an existing System DVS that should be used for overlay traffic, or the name of the new to-be-deployed overlay DVS.
    
    isUsedByNsxt set to true
    
    list of Port groups with its names and the corresponding transport type
    
    In the scenario where an existing system VDS should be used for overlay traffic, 'portGroupSpecs' should contain one element, i.e. a port group under the provided system DVS. VMNICS mapped to this provided port group will be used for overlay traffic. On the other hand, if a new overlay DVS is to be deployed, then 'portGroupSpecs' can be left empty.

NSX cluster Details

VLAN ID of Geneve

{
  "nsxTClusterSpec" : {
    "geneveVlanId" : 2
  }
}

For NSX-T

NSX Manager virtual machine details

Name of the NSX Manager virtual machine
Network details
- IP Address of the virtual machine
- Fully-qualified domain name
- Gateway
- Subnet mask
Virtual IP address which would act as proxy/alias for NSX-T managers
Fully-qualified domain name for VIP so that common SSL certificates can be installed across all managers
License key for NSX
NSX manager admin Password (basic authorization and SSH)

IP Address Pool spec if the TEP IP assignment is done from IP pool (only required in case of non-DHCP option)

Name of the IP address pool
Description of the IP address pool

IP address pool subnet details

Subnet cidr
Gateway

IP Address Pool Ranges
First IP address in the IP address range
Last IP address in the IP address range
For DHCP

{
  "nsxTClusterSpec" : {
    "geneveVlanId" : 2
  }
}

For creating new IP pool during domain creation, add the following IP address pool spec to the nsxTSpec object

{
  "ipAddressPoolSpec" : {
    "name" : "static-ip-pool-01",
    "subnets" : [ {
      "ipAddressPoolRanges" : [ {
        "start" : "10.0.11.50",
        "end" : "10.0.11.70"
      }, {
        "start" : "10.0.11.80",
        "end" : "10.0.11.150"
      } ],
      "cidr" : "10.0.11.0/24",
      "gateway" : "10.0.11.250"
    } ]
  }
}

For using an existing IP pool during domain creation, add the following IP address pool spec to the nsxTSpec object. For more information on fetching the NSXT Cluster details, refer to NSX-T Clusters

{
  "ipAddressPoolSpec" : {
    "name" : "static-ip-pool-01"
  }
}

Note	To create a new IP address pool during domain creation, "subnets", the list of IpAddressPoolSubnetSpec in the input spec must not be empty. Only the IP address pool name has to be sent in the input spec while using an existing IP address pool

Steps

Through VxRail UI, create a cluster in the VC, which was created as part of the previous invocation of the create domain

Get the ID of the created domain
- TIP: Get the Domains
- Filter the response by VxRail Domain name and get the respective ID

Get the list of unmanaged clusters with names in thus created vi domain, Invoke a call to get clusters to get the details.

Tip	Refer to: Get the unmanaged clusters by criterion

Choose the name of one cluster that needs to be imported. Invoke a call to get unmanaged cluster by selected cluster name to get the network and host details.

Tip	Refer to: Get an unmanaged cluster by criterion

Create a domain update spec
- With the cluster information from previous call:
  - For each host populate
    
    IP address of the host
    
    FQDN of the host
    
    user name of the host
    
    password of the host
  - Network Details
    
    For each VDS (Single element for VxRail)
    
    VDS name
    This can either refer to an existing System DVS that should be used for overlay traffic, or the name of a new DVS that should be created for overlay traffic.
    
    isUsedByNsxt set to true
    
    list of Port groups with its names and the corresponding transport type
    In the scenario where an existing system VDS should be used for overlay traffic, 'portGroupSpecs' should contain one element, i.e. a port group under the provided system DVS. VMNICS mapped to this provided port group will be used for overlay traffic. On the other hand, if a new overlay DVS is to be deployed, then 'portGroupSpecs' can be left empty.
- Choose to create a new NSX-T domain or select from the existing ones
  - TIP: For NSX-T clusters refer to Get the NSX-T Clusters
- Adding license key for NSXt and vSAN datastore
  - TIP: For license refer to Get a License Key

2.8.3. Create a Domain with Workflow Optimization

The following set of APIs can be used to optimize the domain creation workflow by clubbing both VxRail workflow and VCF workflow which were being done independent of each other. User will need to use only the following SDDC Manager API to perform workload domain operation.

Create a Domain with Workflow Optimization will automatically:

Deploy an additional vCenter Server Appliance for the new domain within the management domain. By leveraging a separate vCenter Server instance per domain, software updates can be applied without impacting other domains. It also allows for each domain to have additional isolation as needed
Create the primary cluster once the domain is created

Note	Update domain operation is not needed for Create domain with Work Flow Optimization

Prerequisites

The following data is required

Name of the domain
DNS entries for WLD hosts, new vCenter, VxRail Manager, and NSXT already configured in the DNS server.
vCenter details
- Name of the vCenter
- Network details
  - IP Address of the vCenter
  - FQDN of the vCenter
  - Gateway
  - Subnet mask
- Password for the root user (8-20 characters)

Cluster details

Name of the new cluster that will be added to the specified workload domain
VxRail Manager Details
- admin and root credentials
- DNS Name of VxRail Manager
- SSH Thumbprint of VxRail Manager
- SSL Thumbprint of VxRail Manager
- NIC profile of hosts
- Networks (details of portgroups such as VSAN, VMOTION, MANAGEMENT.)
VSAN license key
Host details (the hosts details can be obtained using Get the hosts discovered by HCI manager)
- Hostname of ESXi host
- IpAddress of the same ESXi host
- Credentials of the ESXi host
- SSH Thumbprint of the ESXi host
- Serial Number of the ESXi host
- Host Network Details
- ESXi License key
Network Details
- List of VDS details
  - For each VDS
    
    DVS name
    
    Flag to indicate whether this DVS is used by NSX-T
    
    Port group names and the corresponding transport type. Note that EDGE_INFRA_OVERLAY_UPLINK should not be specified in the input spec.
- Geneve vLAN ID

NSX cluster Details

For NSX-T

VLAN ID of Geneve

IP Address Pool spec if the TEP IP assignment is done from IP pool (only required in case of non-DHCP option)

Name of the IP address pool
Description of the IP address pool

IP address pool subnet details
Subnet cidr
Gateway
IP Address Pool Ranges
For using DHCP

{
  "nsxTClusterSpec" : {
    "geneveVlanId" : 2
  }
}

For creating new IP pool during work flow optimized cluster creation

{
  "ipAddressPoolSpec" : {
    "name" : "static-ip-pool-01",
    "subnets" : [ {
      "ipAddressPoolRanges" : [ {
        "start" : "10.0.11.50",
        "end" : "10.0.11.70"
      }, {
        "start" : "10.0.11.80",
        "end" : "10.0.11.150"
      } ],
      "cidr" : "10.0.11.0/24",
      "gateway" : "10.0.11.250"
    } ]
  }
}

For using an existing IP pool during cluster creation. For more information on fetching the NSXT Cluster details, refer to NSX-T Clusters

{
  "ipAddressPoolSpec" : {
    "name" : "static-ip-pool-01"
  }
}

Note	To create a new IP address pool during domain creation, "subnets", the list of IpAddressPoolSubnetSpec in the input spec must not be empty. Only the IP address pool name has to be sent in the input spec while using an existing IP address pool

Host configuration must have minimum two active vmNics.

Steps to perform Optimized Domain Creation

Get the list of the hosts discovered by HCI Manager

Tip	Refer to: Get the hosts discovered by HCI manager

Get the existing NSXT cluster details. This is optional. Use only if existing NSXT cluster is to be used

Tip	Refer to: Get an NSX-T Cluster

Get license details

Tip	Refer to: Get the License Keys

Prepare WLD create API input using the information obtained in the steps 1 to 3
Validate the input specification

2.8.8. Delete a Domain

When you delete a domain, the clusters within the domain are deleted.

Note	A domain cannot be deleted if the clusters of the domain have remote vSAN datastores configured. If so, unmount the remote vSAN datastores from vCenter and then retry domain deletion. Please refer to the 'VMware Cloud Foundation Operations and Administration Guide' for more details.

Warning

Deleting a domain is an irreversible operation. All clusters and VMs within the domain are deleted and the underlying datastores are destroyed.

Prerequisites

The following data is required
- ID of the domain that has to be deleted.

Tip	Back up the data on the domain.

Tip	Migrate the VMs that you want to retain, to another domain.

Steps

Initialize the deletion.

Warning

It is not possible to delete a domain without having marked it for deletion. This 2-step deletion ensures that a domain is not deleted accidentally.

Domain Identifier in which the cluster is to be created

Cluster details

Name of the new cluster that will be added to the specified workload domain
VxRail Manager Details
- admin and root credentials
VSAN license key
Host details
- Hostname of ESXi host which is part of the cluster
- IpAddress of the same ESXi host which is part of the cluster
- Password of ESXi host which is part of the cluster
List of VDS details
- For each VDS
  - DVS name
  - Flag to indicate whether this DVS is used by NSX-T
  - Port group names and the corresponding transport type. Note that EDGE_INFRA_OVERLAY_UPLINK should not be specified in the input spec.

  "nsxTClusterSpec" : {
    "geneveVlanId" : 2
  }
}

For creating new IP pool during domain creation

{
  "nsxTClusterSpec" : {
    "geneveVlanId" : 2,
    "ipAddressPoolSpec" : {
      "name" : "static-ip-pool-01",
      "subnets" : [ {
        "ipAddressPoolRanges" : [ {
          "start" : "10.0.11.50",
          "end" : "10.0.11.70"
        }, {
          "start" : "10.0.11.80",
          "end" : "10.0.11.150"
        } ],
        "cidr" : "10.0.11.0/24",
        "gateway" : "10.0.11.250"
      } ]

2.9.2. Create a Cluster with Workflow Optimization

After you add the VxRail primary cluster, additional clusters can be added to expand the domain.

Prerequisites

The following data is required

Domain Identifier in which the cluster is to be created

Cluster details

Name of the new cluster that will be added to the specified workload domain
VxRail Manager Details
- admin and root credentials
- DNS Name of VxRail Manager
- SSH Thumbprint of VxRail Manager
- SSL Thumbprint of VxRail Manager
- NIC profile of hosts
- Networks (details of portgroups such as VSAN, VMOTION, MANAGEMENT.)
VSAN license key
Host details (the hosts details can be obtained using Get the hosts discovered by HCI manager)
- Hostname of ESXi host
- IpAddress of the same ESXi host
- Credentials of the ESXi host
- SSH Thumbprint of the ESXi host
- Serial Number of the ESXi host
- Host Network Details
- ESXi License key
Network Details
- List of VDS details
  - For each VDS
    
    DVS name
    
    Flag to indicate whether this DVS is used by NSX-T
    
    Port group names and the corresponding transport type. Note that EDGE_INFRA_OVERLAY_UPLINK should not be specified in the input spec.
- Geneve vLAN ID

NSX cluster Details

For NSX-T

VLAN ID of Geneve

IP Address Pool spec if the TEP IP assignment is done from IP pool (only required in case of non-DHCP option)

Name of the IP address pool
Description of the IP address pool

IP address pool subnet details
Subnet cidr
Gateway
IP Address Pool Ranges
For using DHCP

{
  "nsxTClusterSpec" : {
    "geneveVlanId" : 2
  }
}

For creating new IP pool during Work flow optimized domain creation

{
  "ipAddressPoolSpec" : {
    "name" : "static-ip-pool-01",
    "subnets" : [ {
      "ipAddressPoolRanges" : [ {
        "start" : "10.0.11.50",
        "end" : "10.0.11.70"
      }, {
        "start" : "10.0.11.80",
        "end" : "10.0.11.150"
      } ],
      "cidr" : "10.0.11.0/24",
      "gateway" : "10.0.11.250"
    } ]
  }
}

For using an existing IP pool during domain creation. For more information on fetching the NSXT Cluster details, refer to NSX-T Clusters

{
  "ipAddressPoolSpec" : {
    "name" : "static-ip-pool-01"
  }
}

Note	To create a new IP address pool during domain creation, "subnets", the list of IpAddressPoolSubnetSpec in the input spec must not be empty. Only the IP address pool name has to be sent in the input spec while using an existing IP address pool

Workload Domain must be provisioned.

Note	NSX-T Manager(s) are configured when domain is created.

Host configuration must have minimum two active vmNics

Steps to perform Optimized Cluster Creation

Get the ID of the created domain
- TIP: Get the Domains
- Filter the response by VxRail Domain name and get the respective ID

Get the list of the hosts discovered by HCI Manager of the cluster which is to be created

Tip	Refer to: Get the hosts discovered by HCI manager

Create a cluster spec as shown in the curl payload below using the information from previous call

Validate the input specification.

2.9.7. Expand a Cluster

Importing an individual host into a vcf cluster adds that host to the vcf cluster. You can import multiple hosts at a time to a cluster.

Prerequisites

The following data is required
- ID of the cluster
- For each host
  - ip address of the host
  - username of the host
  - password of the host
The cluster in a domain to which hosts are to be added must exist.
There must be a host already added to the cluster VCenter.
Ensure that the host you want to add is in an active state.
Prefer to use get unmanaged hosts calls to get the valid hosts ready for addition using query API

Tip	Refer to: Get the unmanaged hosts based on a Criterion.

Steps

Validate the input specification async.

2.9.9. Prepare for Stretch

Prepare a Standard VxRail vSAN cluster prior to converting it to a Stretched cluster. This will ensure that the VMs on the existing hosts (availability zone) of the cluster do not get migrated to the hosts (second availability zone) that get added to the cluster.

Note

A cluster cannot be stretched if it has remote vSAN datastores configured. If so, unmount the remote vSAN datastores from vCenter and then try the prepare stretch operation. Also, remote vSAN datastores cannot be configured on stretched clusters. Please refer to the 'VMware Cloud Foundation Operations and Administration Guide' for more details.

Prerequisites

The following data is required
- ID of the cluster
- Boolean indicating the cluster has been marked for prepare.
The cluster must exist and the id should be valid.
The cluster must not be stretched.

Steps

Trigger the Prepare for Stretch task using the valid input specification.

2.9.10. Stretch a Cluster

Convert a Standard VxRail vSAN cluster to a Stretched cluster

Note

A cluster cannot be stretched if it has remote vSAN datastores configured. If so, unmount the remote vSAN datastores from vCenter and then try the stretch operation. Also, remote vSAN datastores cannot be configured on stretched clusters. Please refer to the 'VMware Cloud Foundation Operations and Administration Guide' for more details.

Prerequisites

The Witness VM is not managed by SDDC and should be added to the datacenter corresponding to the cluster provided. Please refer to the 'Deploying a vSAN Witness Appliance' section in the 'VMware Cloud Foundation Operations and Administration Guide'.
The vMotion, vSAN, and VXLAN networks require L3 routing between the availability zones. vSAN networks must also have L3 routing to the vSAN network of the witness host. Please refer to the 'Prerequisites for Stretching a Cluster' section in the 'VMware Cloud Foundation Operations and Administration Guide'.
Hosts in the second availability zone being used for stretch should not already be a part of SDDC and should be added to the given VxRail cluster through the VxRail cluster expansion flow in vCenter. For more information to expand a VxRail cluster, contact Dell EMC Support.
The 'Prepare for Stretch' API should be executed before starting with the Stretch workflow.
A valid 'Stretched Cluster' license should be applied to the VxRail vSAN Cluster before executing stretch.
The following data is required
- ID of the cluster
- For each host in the second availability zone which needs to be used for the stretch operation
  - IP Address of the host
  - Hostname (fqdn) of the host
  - SSH Username
  - SSH Password
- For the witness VM
  - vSAN IP
  - IP address or the fqdn
    
    If the witness is managed in vCenter by the fqdn, the the same needs to be provided, else the IP address.
  - vSAN subnet cidr
- For each availability zone
  - vSAN Gateway IP
  - vSAN subnet cidr
- Secondary availability zone vLAN ID
The cluster should not be stretched and the id provided should be valid.
You must have a valid ESXi license specified with adequate sockets available for the host to be added.
Ensure that the given host should be in active state.
Underlying physical network should have proper MTUs and vSAN/vMotion connectivity between availability zones and the witness.

2.9.12. Delete a Cluster

Warning

Datastores on the ESXi hosts in the cluster that will be deleted are destroyed.

Note

You cannot delete the last cluster in a domain. Instead, the domain can be deleted. A cluster cannot be deleted if it has remote vSAN datastores configured. If so, unmount the remote vSAN datastores from vCenter and then retry cluster deletion. Please refer to the 'VMware Cloud Foundation On Dell EMC VxRail Administration Guide' for more details.

Prerequisites

The following data is required
- ID of the cluster to be deleted
Ensure that a cluster with the given ID exists.
The cluster has been marked for deletion.
Migrate or backup the VMs and data on the data store associated with the cluster to another location.

Steps

Initialize the deletion.

Warning

It is not possible to delete a cluster without having marked it for deletion. This 2-step deletion ensures that a cluster is not deleted accidentally.

2.10. Multi Site Management

2.10.1. Create a Multi Site Management Federation

A federation is a group of Cloud Foundation instances, such that each member can view information about the other Cloud Foundation instances in the group. The federation creator is granted the controller role by default.

You can create multiple federations within your organization, but global visibility is available only within a federation. Members can belong to only a single federation at a time.

Prerequisites

The following data is required
- Name of the federation
- Member Details
  - FQDN of the Member
  - Role of the Member (CONTROLLER)
  - Site Type (DATACENTER)
  - Site Name
  - City where the site is located
  - State where the site is located (Optional)
  - Country where the site is located
  - Location coordinates
    
    Longitude
    
    Latitude
Ensure, VCF Instance Role is set to NOT_JOINED.

2.10.2. Invite

You can invite Cloud Foundation instances to join a federation. They can be invited as a controller or a regular member.
In the InvitationSpec or http/curl request if inviteeRole is MEMBER, the vcf instance will have limited access and will not be able to view federation details.
Inorder to view federation details, use inviteeRole as CONTROLLER or MANAGER.
Since a federation can include a maximum of three controllers, you may want to assign the controller role to the primary data centers within the federation.

Prerequisites

Federation must be created.
You must have the controller role to invite a member to a federation.
Only one member can be invited at a time.
The following data is required
- Role of the Invitee
- FQDN of the Invitee

Steps

Trigger the task using the valid invite spec.

2.10.7. Leave from the federation

Leaving a federation removes the Multi-Instance Management view from your SDDC Manager dashboard.

If you are a controller, you can leave a federation only if there is at least one more controller in the federation.
If you are the only controller member in a federation, you must dismantle a federation instead of leaving it.

Prerequisites

The following data is required
- ID (FQDN) of the member to be deleted, specified as a path variable.
  - If member ID is equal to the FQDN of invoking SDDC Manager, it is treated as leave.
  - Otherwise, it is treated as evicting the member (specified by ID) by invoking SDDC Manager. In this case the invoking SDDC Manager must be a Controller.
The Request param 'force' is optional
- If force is set to true, the leaving member will not contact controller, but shut down local system.
  Default value for force is false, in which case leaving member will issue REST request to a remote controller asking for leave.
If the invoking SDDC Manager is the only member in the federation, do not use leave, but teardown instead.

Steps

If ID is the same as FQDN of invoking SDDC Manager and force is false
- This member will issue rest request to a remote controller asking for leave, if the remote response
  is successful, it will then shut down its local system. Persistent store will be archived and cleaned up.
If ID is the same as FQDN of invoking SDDC Manager and force is true
- This member will not contact remote controller but shut down its local system directly. Persistent store will be archived and cleaned up.
If ID is the different from FQDN of invoking SDDC Manager
- The invoking SDDC Manager will evict the member (specified by ID) from federation and ask the evictee to clean its system.
  force variable in this case doesn’t matter.

2.12. vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

2.12.1. vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager Deployment

To deploy and manage the vRealize Suite products after the initial greenfield deploy of VMware Cloud Foundation, you must first deploy vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager. To guarantee the success of the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager deployment operation, you should pre-validate the deployment input.

Prerequisites

The following data is required:
- Application Virtual Networks are configured
- Unique vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager hostname and corresponding IP address from the X-Region Application Virtual Network
- vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager API and root passwords
- Free IP address from the X-Region Application Virtual Network for the Standalone Tier 1 router
Additional prerequisites:
- The vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager bundle needs to be downloaded and applied on the SDDC Manager
- Application Virtual Network should have connectivity to the management VLAN

Note

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager deployment is not available if vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager is successfully deployed as only one instance of it is allowed in the system. In this case, calling the API will produce an error and the user will be provided with information about the allowed HTTP methods for the given endpoint. This information can be found in the "allow" field from the response headers.

Steps

Assemble the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager deployment input specification.

Tip	Refer to VrslcmDeploymentSpec

Trigger the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager deployment input specification validations. For help using the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager validation API refer to: Get the status of the validations for vRealize Lifecycle Manager deployment

Warning

The triggered validations return a response containing a validation report ID. With that ID, poll the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager validations API. While the validations are running, the "executionStatus" is "IN_PROGRESS". You should poll the API until the "executionStatus" is "COMPLETED".

cURL Request

$ curl 'https://sfo-vcf01.rainpole.io/v1/vrslcms/validations/77c17ee9-7fa6-455f-ace6-602e43c76887' -i -X GET \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer etYWRta....'

  "description" : "Validating vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager input parameters",
  "executionStatus" : "IN_PROGRESS"
}

Once the validations are completed, you can get the overall result of the validations and a detailed list with all checks that have been done and the corresponding status of each check.
- In case of no errors in the input specification, the "executionStatus" is "COMPLETED" and "resultStatus" is "SUCCEEDED".
- In case of only warnings in the input specification, the "executionStatus" is "COMPLETED" and "resultStatus" is "FAILED_WITH_WARNINGS".
- In case of errors in the input specification, the "executionStatus" is "COMPLETED" and "resultStatus" is "FAILED".

Tip

The validation checks have two severity levels - warning and error. If a failed validation check is marked as an error, the issue must be resolved before proceeding with the deployment. If the issue is marked as a warning, you are advised to look at it and do the best to fix it. You could ignore it and proceed on your own risk without fixing it, but this might affect the deployment and make it fail at a later stage.
NOTE: Make changes to the input specification and re-validate using a new API invocation

Once there are no errors and warnings in the validation response, you can proceed with the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager deployment. Although the warnings are not forced to be resolved, you should give the best to resolve the uncovered issues by the validations.
Trigger the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager deployment. This will start a long-running task whose details can be obtained form the HTTP response.

2.17. Backup and Restore

Back up and restore solution is provided to backup SDDC manager and configure NSX manager backup.

2.17.1. Configure backup of SDDC manager and NSX manager

It is essential to review the basic principles in a file-based solution for backup. In such a solution, the state of a product is periodically exported to a file that is stored in a domain different than the one where the product is running. If the product needs to be restored, the OVA is re-deployed and a selected backup-file is used to restore the state.

NSX Manager files are backed up by default in the SDDC Manager VM which also has to be backed up. You can configure an external SFTP server as a backup location which is the recommended solution. NSX Manager is backed up every 1 hour

This section provides the steps to configure NSX backup location and the SDDC Manager backup location to an external SFTP server along with encryption configuration for both SDDC Manager and NSX Manager backup.

Backup of SDDC manager can be scheduled by setting the schedule for SDDC Manager in the configuration. The state change driven backups are enabled by default with SDDC Manager scheduled backups and can not be enabled when the scheduled backups are disabled. User must disable state change driven backups when disabling scheduled backups. User can also set a backup retention policy for SDDC Manager backups. When the scheduled backups of SDDC Manager are enabled, the below default retention policy is set for SDDC Manager backups.

{"numberOfMostRecentBackups" : 10, "numberOfDaysOfHourlyBackups" : 2, "numberOfDaysOfDailyBackups" : 15}

SDDC Manager’s backup retention policy is designed to retain as many latest backups as possible and also to retain optimal number of backups for a long period of time. Using this policy, user can retain a given number of most recent backups, and hourly backups(only the latest backup is retained in an hour) for a given number of days, and daily backups(only the latest backup is retained per day) for a given number of days. For example, as per the above default policy, the very recent 10 backups will be retained, and on top of that hourly backups will be retained for last 2 days, and on top of that daily backups will be retained for last 15 days.

Prerequisites

The following data is required
- Encryption
  - Twelve or more characters.
  - At least one upper-case letter.
  - At least two digits.
  - At least one special character.

Note	SDDC Manager does not store previously-used passphrases. You must store the passphrase in a secure location separate from the backup files and from the Cloud Foundation environment you are protecting.

FTP server details to save the backup file :
- IP or FQDN of the server
- port
- protocol, which is SFTP
- username
- password
- ssh fingerprint
- directory path to save the backup file
SDDC manager schedule details :
- Frequency of the schedule
- Schedule details
The user credentials should have the role of an ADMIN

Tip	To get fingerprint execute the below command

ssh-keygen -lf <(ssh-keyscan -t ssh-rsa -p <port-number> <server-IP-address> 2>/dev/null)

Note	Fingerprint should be SHA-256 RSA key.

Steps

Trigger the task using the valid input specification.

Note	To trigger the API, the user should have a role of an ADMIN in VCF.

Note	Resource Type allowed for scheduling backup is SDDC_MANAGER.

Note	Only absolute path is accepted for directory path

Note	Scheduling frequency WEEKLY takes the fields daysOfTheWeek, hoursOfTheDay and minuteOfTheHour. Scheduling frequency HOURLY takes the field minuteOfTheHour.

Tip	Refer to Security section to set the role as ADMIN for the user.

2.17.5. Initiate Restore of SDDC Manager

In case of a failure, you can restore SDDC Manager from a saved backup.

Prerequisites

The following data is required
- Backup file name and location of the backup file
- Encryption passphrase used to encrypt the backup file

Note	Only resourceType:SDDC_MANAGER is supported currently

Steps

Power off the original SDDC Manager VM.
Rename the VM to something like sddc-manager-original using the management domain vCenter Server.
Identify the backup file to be used for the restore operation.

Tip	In most cases, you should select the most recently taken backup.

The backup file contains sensitive data about your Cloud Foundation instance, including passwords in plain text. It is recommended you control access to the decrypted files and securely delete them when you are done with the restore operation.
Using a computer that has access to the secure secondary storage where the backup files are stored, navigate to the backup file and extract the contents of the encrypted tar file using the following command.

OPENSSL_FIPS=1  openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -md sha256 -in filename-of-selected-file | tar -xz

At the prompt, enter the passphrase that you configured before backing up SDDC Manager.
The extracted metadata.json file contains the networking details and fips enablement details required for new SDDC manager deployment in further steps.
In order to restore SDDC Manager, you need to deploy the SDDC Manager OVA.
The link to download the OVA is found in the metadata.json file in the backup file.
Download the SDDC Manager OVA from the link provided.
Deploy SDDC Manager VM from vCenter Server or with the OVF Tool either in fips or non fips mode as specified in the metadata.json.
- Deploy SDDC Manager VM from vCenter server

If the "status" is "SUCCESSFUL", the task is completed successfully.
If the "status" is "FAILED" , perform the following steps to retry.
- Copy the contents of /var/log/vmware/vcf/sddc-support/ to a filesystem that is external to SDDC Manager. This preserves the restore log file.
- Revert the SDDC Manager VM to the snapshot taken in step 12.
- Take a new snapshot.
- Perform steps 13 - 16.
- If this attempt fails, contact VSDDC ManagerMware Support.

Verify SDDC Manager VM operations after restore:
- SSH in to the SDDC Manager as the vcf user.
- Run the following command:
  sudo /opt/vmware/sddc-support/sos --health-check
- When prompted, enter the vcf user password.
- A green status indicates that the health is normal, yellow provides a warning that attention might be required, and red indicates that the component needs immediate attention. Possible reasons for yellow or red status are that you used an SDDC Manager backup with unresolved workflows, you used a backup taken before a workflow was completed successfully, you restored other products in addition to SDDC Manager, or some components are not operational. Call VMware Support if you need help with resolving the yellow or red status
- If the status was green,
  - Download the applicable install and upgrade bundles.
  - Download the upgrade bundles applicable to your environment.

2.26.12. Remediate expired Passwords

If the password is expired, then the customer requires to manually reset the account in the product and then reach out to GSS to sync credentials store of VCF with new password for the product.

Hence this new API will accept the new password from the client, validates by testing the connectivity and then performs credentials store update. This API is generalized so that the same API can be used for both service accounts and user accounts.

For service accounts, Password will be auto rotated post rememdiaton with correct password.

Please note: Credentials store sync is irreversible operation, ie when credentials store sync is successful and password rotation failed due to other issues, then we wont be reverting credentials store with older non working password.

Prerequisites

The following data is required
- Name or ID of the resource
- Type of the resource
- Username of the resource
- Working password of the resource

Tip	Refer to: Get the Credentials to get the credential type, username, name, ID and type of the resource.

Tip	Refer to: Download available CSR(s) in tar.gz format

Use the downloaded CSRs to have it manually signed by external certificate authorities.

Verify that the certificate authority configuration files have been configured and packaged in the form of
a ".tar.gz" file with the following conditions
- The name of the top-level directory must exactly match the name of the domain to which certificates are to be installed.
- The PEM-encoded root CA certificate chain file (rootca.crt) must reside inside this top-level directory.
- This directory must contain one sub-directory for each component resource and the name of each sub-directory must exactly match the resource fqdn.
- Each sub-directory must contain a corresponding ".csr" file, whose name must exactly match the
  resource fqdn followed by ".csr" extension.
- Each sub-directory must contain a corresponding ".crt" file, whose name must exactly match the
  resource fqdn followed by ".crt" extension.

Upload the packaged signed certificates by invoking the API

2.34. Edge Clusters

2.34.1. Validate Edge Cluster

Prerequisites

Complete the required prerequisites before invoking the API.

Separate VLANs and subnets are available for Host TEP VLAN and Edge TEP VLAN use
Host TEP VLAN and Edge TEP VLAN need to be routed
If dynamic routing is desired, please set up two BGP peers (on TORs or infra ESG) with an interface IP, ASN and BGP password
Reserve an ASN to use for the NSX Edge cluster’s Tier-0 interfaces
DNS entries for NSX Edge components should be populated in customer managed DNS server
The vSphere clusters hosting the Edge clusters should be L2 Uniform. All hosts in a hosting vSphere cluster need to have identical management, uplink, Edge and host TEP networks
The vSphere clusters hosting the Edge nodes must have the same pNIC speed for NSX enabled VDS uplinks chosen for Edge overlay (e.g., either 10G or 25G but not both)
All nodes of an NSX Edge cluster must use the same set of NSX enabled VDS uplinks. The selected uplinks must be prepared for overlay use

The following data is required for the Validate an Edge Cluster spec:

Edge cluster name
Maximum transmission unit
ASN to be used for the edge cluster
Edge cluster profile type, for example: DEFAULT, CUSTOM
Edge cluster type, for example: NSX-T
Edge cluster form factor, for example: SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE
Edge cluster profile spec, refer to: NsxTEdgeClusterProfileSpec
Edge Node specs, refer to: NsxTEdgeNodeSpec
Name for the Tier-0 router
Tier-0 routing type, for example: EBGP, STATIC
High-Availability mode for Tier-0 router, for example: ACTIVE_ACTIVE, ACTIVE_STANDBY
Name for the Tier-1 router

Tip	Refer to: EdgeClusterCreationSpec.

Steps

Validate the input specification using Validate an Edge Cluster spec.

2.34.3. Create Edge Cluster

Prerequisites

Complete the required prerequisites before invoking the API.

Separate VLANs and subnets are available for Host TEP VLAN and Edge TEP VLAN use
Host TEP VLAN and Edge TEP VLAN need to be routed
If dynamic routing is desired, please set up two BGP peers (on TORs or infra ESG) with an interface IP, ASN and BGP password
Reserve an ASN to use for the NSX Edge cluster’s Tier-0 interfaces
DNS entries for NSX Edge components should be populated in customer managed DNS server
The vSphere clusters hosting the Edge clusters should be L2 Uniform. All hosts in a hosting vSphere cluster need to have identical management, uplink, Edge and host TEP networks
The vSphere clusters hosting the Edge nodes must have the same pNIC speed for NSX enabled VDS uplinks chosen for Edge overlay (e.g., either 10G or 25G but not both)
All nodes of an NSX Edge cluster must use the same set of NSX enabled VDS uplinks. The selected uplinks must be prepared for overlay use

The following data is required for the Create an Edge Cluster:

Edge cluster name
Maximum transmission unit
ASN to be used for the edge cluster
Edge cluster profile type, for example: DEFAULT, CUSTOM
Edge cluster type, for example: NSX-T
Edge cluster form factor, for example: SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE
Edge cluster profile spec, refer to: NsxTEdgeClusterProfileSpec
Edge Node specs, refer to: NsxTEdgeNodeSpec
Name for the Tier-0 router
Tier-0 routing type, for example: EBGP, STATIC
High-Availability mode for Tier-0 router, for example: ACTIVE_ACTIVE, ACTIVE_STANDBY
Name for the Tier-1 router

Tip	Refer to: EdgeClusterCreationSpec.

Steps

Invoke the Create an Edge Cluster. This API returns a task which can be polled and monitored.

All nodes of an NSX Edge cluster must use the same set of NSX enabled VDS uplinks. The selected uplinks must be prepared for overlay use
Please refer to the official NSX documentation for the deployed version
Make sure there is enough capacity on the cluster(s) to deploy additional Edge nodes based on the form factor

Tip	Refer to: Validate an NSX-T Edge Cluster update spec and EdgeClusterUpdateSpec.

Steps

Validate the input specification using EdgeClusterUpdateSpec.

Tip	Refer to: Get Edge Cluster Validation.

Related APIs

2.34.7. Expand an Edge Cluster

Prerequisites

Complete the required prerequisites before invoking the API.

Separate VLANs and subnets are available for Host TEP VLAN and Edge TEP VLAN use
Host TEP VLAN and Edge TEP VLAN need to be routed
If dynamic routing is desired, please set up two BGP peers (on TORs or infra ESG) with an interface IP, ASN and BGP password
Reserve an ASN to use for the NSX Edge cluster’s Tier-0 interfaces
DNS entries for NSX Edge components should be populated in customer managed DNS server
The vSphere clusters hosting the Edge clusters should be L2 Uniform. All host nodes in a hosting vSphere cluster need to have identical management, uplink, Edge and host TEP networks
The vSphere clusters hosting the NSX Edge node VMs must have the same pNIC speed for NSX enabled VDS uplinks chosen for Edge overlay (e.g., either 10G or 25G but not both)
All nodes of an NSX Edge cluster must use the same set of NSX enabled VDS uplinks. The selected uplinks must be prepared for overlay use
Please refer to the official NSX documentation for the deployed version
Make sure there is enough capacity on the cluster(s) to deploy additional Edge nodes based on the form factor
Validation API for expansion should complete successfully

Tip	Refer to: EdgeClusterUpdateSpec.

Steps

Invoke the Expand or Shrink an NSX-T Edge Cluster. This API returns a task which can be polled and monitored.

Selected Edge node(s) must be available in VCF inventory
Edge cluster must contain more than 2 Edge nodes
Edge cluster must be hosted on one or more vSphere clusters from the same domain
Edge cluster must not be federated and/or stretched
If the selected Edge cluster was deployed with Tier-0 High-Availability mode ACTIVE_ACTIVE, then the Edge node selection will be allowed if the Edge cluster contains two or more Edge nodes with two or more Tier-0 routers (Service Router Component) after the shrinkage operation
If the selected Edge cluster was deployed with Tier-0 High-Availability mode ACTIVE_STANDBY, then the selected Edge node(s) should not be in Active or Standby mode for the Tier-0 Service Router
The selected Edge node list should not contain both Active and Standby Edge nodes of the same Tier-1 router

Poll the status of the validation using the Validation API with the ID from the response of the previous API.

Tip	Refer to: Get Edge Cluster Validation.

Selected Edge cluster must be available in VCF inventory with ACTIVE status
Selected Edge node(s) must be available in VCF inventory
Edge cluster must contain more than 2 Edge nodes
Edge cluster must be hosted on one or more vSphere clusters from the same domain
Edge cluster must not be federated and/or stretched
If the selected Edge cluster was deployed with Tier-0 High-Availability mode ACTIVE_ACTIVE, then the Edge node selection will be allowed if the Edge cluster contains two or more Edge nodes with two or more Tier-0 routers (Service Router Component) after the shrinkage operation
If the selected Edge cluster was deployed with Tier-0 High-Availability mode ACTIVE_STANDBY, then the selected Edge node(s) should not be in Active or Standby mode for the Tier-0 Service Router
The selected Edge node list should not contain both Active and Standby Edge nodes of the same Tier-1 router
Validation API for shrinkage should complete successfully

Tip	Refer to: EdgeClusterUpdateSpec.

Steps

Invoke the Expand or Shrink an NSX-T Edge Cluster. This API returns a task which can be polled and monitored.

Poll the status of the task using the task API with the ID from the response of the previous API

Tip	Refer to: Get a Task.

Create NSX-T VI workload domain.
1. VUM (vSphere Update Manager) option should be enabled.

Tip	Refer to: Create a Domain

Deploy an NSX-T Edge cluster with the following properties:
1. Edge Form Factor - Large
2. Tier0 Service High Availability - Active-Active

Tip	Refer to: Create an Edge Cluster

All hosts in the cluster where you want to deploy Workload Management must have a vSphere with Kubernetes license applied on them.
Workload Management supports one Edge cluster per transport zone, so ensure that the overlay transport zone connected to this cluster does not have other Edge clusters connected to it.
The following subnets must have been defined:
1. Subnet for pod networking (non-routable), minimum of a /22 subnet.
2. Subnet for Service IP addresses (non-routable), minimum of a /24 subnet.
3. Subnet for Ingress (routable), minimum of a /27 subnet.
4. Subnet for Egress (routable), minimum of a /27 subnet.
Create OIDC registration using NSX-T API.

Steps

Enable Workload Management using vCenter API.
