Cheat Sheet : vRA

I’m currently working on my VCP CMA 2020 and I found it useful to share here my cheat sheet with a few vracli or kubectl commands.

vracli

Display the status of your vRA cluster:
vracli status

Get a detailed status of your infrastructure (Kubernetes, postgres, …) and your applications (approval, catalog,…)
vracli service status

Getting the vRA licence, could be helpful on the HOL infrastructure
vracli license

Connect or disconnect vRA from vRLi
vracli vrli set FQDN or IP
vracli vrli unset

vracli certificate ingress --validate stdin --parse
Paste the content of the pem file
/opt/scripts/deploy.sh

Generate log bundle:
vracli log-bundle

kubectl:

List all name space, all vRA core services are in “prelude” namespace.
Kubectl get namespace

To get pods inside the prelude namespace.
kubectl get pods -n prelude

Get pods from all namespaces
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

Stop vRA:
/opt/scripts/svc-stop.sh
sleep 120
/opt/scripts/deploy.sh --onlyClean

Start vRA:
/opt/scripts/deploy.sh
Check again the status:
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
