• Day 2 operation to reconfigure fails with:

"The data specified within the request is invalid. The number of nics you requested are more than specified in the blueprint that was used to provision this machine."

• Environment was previously upgraded to vRealize Automation 7.5.

Environment

VMware vRealize Automation 7.5.x

Cause

This is a known issue affecting vRealize Automation 7.5.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in vRealize Automation 7.6.  To workaround this issue see the Workaround section below.

Workaround:
This workaround includes manual updates to the vPostgres database.  As with any manual database update, ensure there is a full database backup before moving forward.

1. For every deployment impacted, document the deployment name for later use.
2. Download fix_max_network_adapters_for_DEPLOYMENTS_v3_generic.sql attached to this article.
3. Copy the syntax into a new query editor for further edits.
4. Replace the "'DEPLOYMENT 1 NAME GOES HERE', 'DEPLOYMENT 2 NAME GOES HERE'" with the DEPLOYMENT name to fix. You can add additional deployments as a comma separated list IN clause.
5. Execute the SQL script.
6. Confirm results:  Match the affected record counts to how many deployments were specified in comma delimited format within the previously edited SQL syntax.  Once satisified, use the COMMIT function.  If results do not match, use "ROLLBACK" to reverse the updates.
7. Re-test the Reconfigure action within the vRealize Automation tenant portal.
