Rename Security Group Object

Products

• VCF Automation

Issue/Introduction

An incorrect name was assigned to a security group during the initial deployment process, and there is a requirement to update the security name without redeploying or disrupting the existing configuration.

Environment

VMware Aria Orchestrator 8.x

Cause

The issue is caused by a manual naming error during the initial deployment phase, where the assigned security group name in the provisioning state does not match the desired target name.

Resolution

Resolution:

To update the security group name, you must modify the entry directly in the provisioning database. Follow these steps:

1. SSH to the VMware Aria Automation appliance and log in as the root user.

2. Connect to the provisioning database by running the following command.

     vracli dev psql provisioning-db

3. Execute the following SQL query to update the specific security group name.

     update security_group_state set name = '<NEW_NAME>' where id = '<ID>';

     Note: Replace <NEW_NAME> with the correct name and <ID> with the unique identifier of the security group.
