Network selection on deployment of new machines not working

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

• as part of the deployment input a different constraint tag is used to configure the network
• the project is configured with multiple network constraint tags
• the networks are correctly tagged
• but the deployment always uses the same network despite setting a different network constraint tag for the deployment

Environment

Aria Automation 8.x

Cause

Hard constraint tags configured on project level are used to enforce deployment restrictions. If there is multiple hard constraints configured then the first match will be used.

Resolution

To avoid the issue please either remove constraint tags on the project or when using multiple tags then re-configure them as soft constraint.
