Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

Note: VMware by Broadcom does not support the PowervRA module.

The PowervRA module although shipped with Orchestrator is developed by a third-party developer who can be reached using the contact owner option in the powershell gallery or alternatively, issues can be raised with the developer in GitHub.

When upgrading VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator (formerly known as VMware vRealize Orchestrator) from version 8.x to 8.12.x, it's important to note that PowerVRA 5.x will no longer be compatible. To ensure compatibility with VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator 8.12.x, it is necessary to perform an upgrade of PowerVRA to version 6.0.x.
