Just having issues with incorrect hostnames being registered in Infoblox.
We customize the host name in a vRO workflow triggered by VMPS32.Requested lifecycle state PRE; and update the vcac:Entity with the new hostname. Shows up in vRA fine new hostname. Registers original hostname generated via machine prefix in Infoblox.
For a while I was trying to figure out exactly how the "Allocate" Infoblox workflow was being triggered; seems when you register the endpoint during plugin setup, a hard-coded vRO Workflow ID is being set (which is the Allocate workflow) What I don't understand is how this actually gets triggered by vRA since we dont set a subscription event. It just fires somehow during provisioning
2nd thing I noticed is that the Allocate workflow is being passed a few variables; one of which is Resource (CompositeType). The 'Name' key in this Resource has a value of the 'machinePrefix_name'. When I rerun this allocation by changing that value to a custom hostname, registration in NIOS completes successfully. I just need to know where / how that 'Resource' input value is being passed from vRA to vRO to the 'Allocate' workflow; and potentially how to update what values it's passing Any help greatly appreciated Happy Thanksgiving!
