Unlock the Secrets of vRA 7.6 Reservations

In this blog post, we will be sharing a PowerShell script that uses the PowervRA module to export a list of vRealize Automation 7.6 reservations along with their respective usage. The script was tested on the following versions:

* vRealize Automation 7.6

* PowervRA Module 2.1.1

Before we dive into the details of the script, let me brief you about the requirements for running this script. You will need the following information to run the script successfully:

* vRA_FQDN: The fully qualified domain name of your vRealize Automation server.

* Tenant_Name: The name of the tenant for which you want to export the reservations.

* Path_To_Target.csv: The path where you want to save the exported reservation data as a CSV file.

* TenantAdmin Credentials: The credentials of an administrator who has access to the tenant.

Once you have this information ready, you can run the script and generate a report of vRealize Automation 7.6 reservations in your environment. Here’s how to run the script:

1. Open PowerShell and import the PowervRA module by running the following command:

“`css

Import-Module -Name PowervRA

“`

2. Set the variables for vRA_FQDN, Tenant_Name, Path_To_Target.csv, and TenantAdmin Credentials. For example:

“`bash

$vRA_FQDN = “your-vra-server-fqdn”

$tenant_name = “your-tenant-name”

$path_to_target = “C:exportpath”

$tenant_admin_credentials = Get-Credential

“`

3. Run the script by calling the Export-Reservation cmdlet and passing in the necessary parameters:

“`bash

Export-Reservation -vRA_FQDN $vRA_FQDN -Tenant_Name $tenant_name -Path_To_Target $path_to_target -TenantAdminCredential $tenant_admin_credentials

“`

The script will now export the reservations for the specified tenant to the specified CSV file. You can view the exported data by opening the CSV file with a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel.

As a side note, we do not have a direct import option for vRealize Automation 8.6 yet. However, the script should still work with minimal modifications. You can try replacing the PowervRA module with the latest version (currently 2.3.1) and see if it works with vRealize Automation 8.6.
