Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Endpoints > Endpoints.
2 Select New > IPAM.
Select a registered external IPAM provider endpoint type such as Infoblox. External IPAM provider
endpoints are only available if you imported a third-party vRealize Orchestrator package, and run the
package workflows to register the endpoint type.
For Infoblox IPAM, only primary IPAM endpoint types are listed. You can specify secondary IPAM
endpoint types by using custom properties.
For this example, select a registered external IPAM endpoint type, for example Infoblox NIOS.
3 Enter a name and, optionally, a description.
4 Enter the location of the registered IPAM endpoint in the Address text box using the provider-specific
URL format, for example https:/host_name/name.
For example, you might create several IPAM endpoints, such as https://nsx62-scale-infoblox
and https://nsx62-scale-infoblox2, when you registered the IPAM endpoint type in
vRealize Orchestrator. Enter a primary registered endpoint type. To also specify one or more
secondary IPAM endpoints, you can use custom properties to emulate the extensible attributes that
are specific to the IPAM solution provider.
5 Enter the user name and password required to access the IPAM solution provider account.
The IPAM solution provider account credentials are required to create, configure, and edit the
endpoint when working in vRealize Automation. vRealize Automation uses the IPAM endpoint
credentials to communicate with the specified endpoint type, for example Infoblox, to allocate IP
addresses and perform other operations. This behavior is similar to how vRealize Automation uses
vSphere endpoint credentials.
6 (Optional) Click New in the Custom Properties section to add endpoint properties that are meaningful
to the specific IPAM solution provider.
Each IPAM solution provider, for example Infoblox and Bluecat, use unique extensible attributes that
you can emulate by using vRealize Automation custom properties. For example, Infoblox uses
extensible attributes to differentiate primary and secondary endpoints.
7 Click OK.
What to do next
Add the compute resources from your endpoint to a fabric group. See Create a Fabric Group.
Create a vCloud Air Endpoint
You can create a vCloud Air endpoint for a an OnDemand or subscription service.
