In this scenario, you create a resource action to migrate a vSphere virtual machine with vMotion. In
addition, you edit the workflow presentation by using the form designer and change the way the
consumers see the action when they request it.
Prerequisites
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a service architect.
Procedure
1 Create an Action to Migrate a vSphere Virtual Machine With vMotion
You can create a custom resource action to allow the consumers of the service to migrate a vSphere
virtual machine with vMotion after they provision the machine with IaaS.
2 Edit the Resource Action Form
The form of the resource action maps the vRealize Orchestrator workflow presentation. You can edit
the form and define what the consumers of the resource action see when they decide to run the
post-provisioning operation.
3 Add a Submitted Action Details Form and Save the Action
You can add a new form to the Migrate a virtual machine with vMotion resource action to define what
the consumers see after they request to run the post-provisioning operation.
4 Publish the Action for Migrating a Virtual Machine with vMotion
To use the Migrate a virtual machine with vMotion resource action as a post-provisioning operation,
you must publish it.
You created and published a vRealize Orchestrator workflow as a resource action. You can navigate to
Administration > Catalog Management > Actions and see the Migrate virtual machine with vMotion
resource action in the list of actions. You can assign an icon to the resource action. See Assign an Icon to
a Resource Action.
You also edited the presentation of the workflow and defined the look and feel of the action.
What to do next
Business group managers and tenant administrators can include the Migrate a virtual machine with
vMotion resource action in an entitlement. For more information about how to create and publish IaaS
blueprints for virtual platforms, see IaaS Configuration for Virtual Platforms.
Create an Action to Migrate a vSphere Virtual Machine With
vMotion
You can create a custom resource action to allow the consumers of the service to migrate a vSphere
virtual machine with vMotion after they provision the machine with IaaS.
Procedure
