reservation.
Verify a Reservation and Get Reservation Details
After you create a vRealize Automation reservation, you can use the REST API reservation service along
with reservation ID to verify that the reservation exists. You can also use the ID to get information about the
reservation in preparation for updating or deleting it.

Log in to vRealize Automation as a fabric group administrator.
n
Verify that the host name and fully qualied domain name of the vRealize Automation instance are
available.
n
Verify that you have a valid HTTP bearer token that matches your login credentials. See Chapter 2,
“REST API Authentication,” on page 9.
n
Finish creating a new reservation. Obtain the reservation ID from the output URL. See “Syntax for
Creating a vSphere Reservation,” on page 209.
n
Get the reservation ID if you do not already know it. See “Display a List of Reservations,” on page 244.
