Creating Additional VM Apps Organization in VCF Automation 9 via REST API

Products

• VCF Automation

Issue/Introduction

In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Automation 9.0 and 9.1, the “classic” VM Apps provisioning model (formerly Aria Automation VM Provisioning with resource schemas like Cloud.vSphere.Machine) is still supported. However, by default, only one VM Apps organization can be created via the UI. 

Currently, in VCF Automation 9.0 and 9.1, the UI does not support creating more than one classic VM Apps organization, but this can be accomplished using the REST API.

This article explains how to use the API to create additional VM Apps orgs.

Environment

VCF Automation 9.0
VCF Automation 9.1

Cause

The VCF Automation 9.0 and 9.1 UI supports creating only one classic VM Apps organization.

The feature flag “Classic Tenant Creation” enables/disables UI creation but does not allow multiple orgs through the UI.

Resolution

Follow the official procedure at Create Additional Organizations for VM Apps
