Workflow and Actions

The Dell ASM vRO Integration is prepackaged with a set of sample workflows and actions. These can be

used as out of the box to immediately enable common use cases. They may also be used to serve as

examples that can be extended by advanced users.

Workflow

The prepackaged ASM vRO Integration workflow is divided into two types:

• Configuration workflow — These can be used to store and remove ASM appliance configurations

within vRO. Appliances can be viewed in the Inventory panel once it is stored.

• Sample workflow — These samples illustrate the various capabilities of the integration. They are

designed to allow users to immediately begin testing the integration between vRO and their ASM

appliance.

Configuration Workflow

Add ASM appliance:

This workflow asks the user to provide various configuration parameters for the ASM appliance and

subsequently persists the configuration as a vRO resource. Once this workflow has been run successfully,

the appliance appears in the inventory and can be selected as an input for any of the other sample

workflows.

Remove ASM appliance:

This workflow removes the selected appliance from the inventory.

Sample workflow

The sample workflow is divided into three categories:

• Asynchronous — This workflow is designed to make API calls ASM appliance without waiting for the

completion of the corresponding operations.

• Non-interactive – The workflow is designed without any user inputs, and serves as examples for vRA

integration or other automation purposes.

• Synchronous — The workflow makes use of their asynchronous counterparts but include polling

functionality to defer completion until the corresponding operation either succeeds or fails on the

ASM appliance.
