IPAM
The OneFuse BT Diamond IP IPAM module for vRealize Automation enables organizations who utilize BT Diamond IP for centralized IP address management to now have a fully automated method of obtaining and releasing IP addresses as the cloud environment dynamically scales. With OneFuse, cloud architects can design a wide variety of integration scenarios using metadata-driven policies that can be dynamically assigned and controlled with the OneFuse Template Engine.
DNS
The OneFuse BT Diamond IP DNS module for vRealize Automation enables organizations who utilize BT Diamond IPControl for DNS hosting to have a fully automated method of controlling DNS records as the cloud environment dynamically scales, reducing the support burden and increasing the chances of successful ITaaS deployments from the vRealize service catalog.
Features and Capabilities
IPAM Features and Capabilities
- Create flexible IPAM profiles that include one or more BT Diamond IP endpoints
- Reserve unique IP address(es) and assign to the VM NIC(s) based on IPAM profile(s)
- IPAM profiles include basic IP information such as DNS and WINS configurations
- IPAM profiles can be pinned to specific NIC numbers
- IPAM profiles can span multiple networks, each consisting of a network name, subnet
- CIDR block, gateway address and network mask
- IPAM profiles allow for a list of excluded IP addresses
- IPAM profile fields can be dynamic, utilizing the OneFuse Template Engine
- OneFuse Template Engine allows for static text in combination with dynamic content such as vRealize Automation custom properties and/or custom logic
- Ability to detect and skip IP addresses, that are marked as free in IPAM but are found to be in use on the network. This feature includes notification policy for informing the administrators when IP conflicts are detected as well as regeneration of hostnames where appropriate. Utilizes OneFuse Custom Naming and Notifications modules, which are both included in OneFuse Foundation.
DNS Features and Capabilities
- Create flexible DNS configurations that include one or more BT Diamond IP endpoints
- Supports one or more domains and networks in a single DNS configuration
- Drives IPControl features such as User Defined Fields (when used in conjunction with IPAM), and ability to render the comments field via the OneFuse Template Engine
- Supports BIND and Microsoft DNS servers managed via IPControl
- OneFuse Template Engine allows for static text in combination with dynamic content such as vRealize Automation custom properties and/or custom logic
- Employs several methods to improve DNS data integrity and mitigate issues from stale, duplicate or orphaned DNS records, such as retry logic, record availability and DNS propagation/post validation checks
- DNS configurations are interchangeable between endpoint providers; avoid lock-in by easily adding additional DNS providers with other DNS modules from OneFUse
- Allows for independent configurations for forward and reverse records, if desired
- BT Diamond IP endpoints can also be used with the OneFuse IPAM module for BT Diamond IP
- OneFuse DNS configurations may also be used with OneFuse network load balancer modules
- Optional feature to designate a default DNS configuration if the domain(s) or network(s) are not matched to any other DNS configuration(s)
- Supports up to 10 network interfaces per machine
- Multiple version support for vRealize Automation
- Simple 2-step install and upgrade process
- Quick start process: Define BT Diamond IP endpoint(s), DNS configuration(s) and provision!
