Today, we’re going to implement a day 2 action for vRA deployment. Custom day 2 actions are a great feature of vRA. They allow us to add almost anything. We will use this feature to add and connect a new vNIC to the deployed VM. We will support both Standard and Distributed switches and all available types of vNICs. Additionally, we’ll use native JavaScript, but we’ll employ more advanced techniques to make our code more professional. To do this, we’ll create a networking class that covers all the network parts. The idea is to create a workflow that will be triggered by the deployment and will call the action element, which will take care of creating and configuring a new network card.

Hi, Thanks for sharing the details. I am trying to test the same in my Lab environment but the workflow getting failed missing ; before statement (Dynamic Script Module name : virtualNetworkManagement#10)

Am I missing something here?

Hi,
two questions:

1. did you import the packages from the repo or just copy/paste the code?
2. if you did import the packages, did you import two packages?

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I imported this package com.clouddepth.add_new_nic_to_vm-1.0.14.package and copied the action code(virtualNetworkManagement.ts) and created new action in my lab.

Provided inputs values and ran the workflow.

You need to import the "com.examples.vmware_aria_orchestrator_examples-1.0.20.package" from the General Examples folder as well, because the networking class is living in a general examples folder. I want to reuse the general functions, that's why they are separated 😁.

@SoundarajanK , did it work for you?

Thank You, I have tested and it works now. Thanks again for the detailed information.
