Add/Remove disk action on VM in deployment will recreate the resources or custom resources even "ignoreChanges" value is set to "true" on cloud template.

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

• Custom resources will get re-create on a VM deployment if you run Add/Remove disk day 2 action on Aria Automation even resource flags ignoreChanges:true are applied 

Environment

VMware Aria Automation 8.x

Cause

Let's create a blueprint with vSphere machine and Custom resource. After deploying execute Add disk operation. This operation will fail because it tries to recreate the Custom resource because there is a difference for input of type Properties. The bp service expects Collection, but it receives LinkedHashMap. This is because the the vRO maps Properties to LinkedHashMap

Resolution

Issue will be fixed in future release of Aria Automation 9.0
