Configure Reservations for Routed Gateways
A tenant administrator or business group manager can configure reservations for use in provisioning the
routed gateway of a multi-machine service.
When vRealize Automation provisions a multi-machine service with NAT, routed, or private networking, it
provisions a routed gateway as the network router for that service. The routed gateway is a management
machine that consumes compute resources like other virtual machines but manages the network
communications for the multi-machine components. The reservation used to provision the routed gateway
determines the external network used for NAT and load balancer virtual IP addresses.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a tenant administrator or business group manager.
n
Create a reservation policy. If reservations already use this policy, they must be intended for use with
a routed gateway.
n
Create a multi-machine blueprint. See Create a Multi-Machine Blueprint.
Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Blueprints > Blueprints.
2 Locate a multi-machine blueprint with at least one virtual component blueprint.
3 Click the Network tab.
4 Select a transport zone from the Transport zone drop-down menu.
The Reservation policy drop-down menu becomes selectable.
5 Select a reservation policy from the Reservation policy drop-down menu under Routed Gateway.
6 Click OK.
When you provision a multi-machine service with this blueprint, vRealize Automation attempts to use only
the reservations associated with the specified reservation policy to provision the routed gateway.
Enable App Isolation for Component Machines
When App Isolation is enabled for a vRealize Automation multi-machine blueprint, the firewall blocks all
inbound and outbound traffic to the component machines of the blueprint. The component machines of
the multi-machine blueprint can communicate with each other but cannot connect outside the firewall.
