Unable to dissociate a cloud zone from a project.The resource exists inside the cloud zone linked with a project, but you are unable to identify it from the extensive list of deployments in Cloud Assembly.
Identify resources linked within a Cloud Zone, in a project, and how to delete the deployments to dissociate the cloud zone from the project.
When there are large-scale deployments under vRA it may be difficult to identify the resources in a cloud zonefrom the Cloud Assembly UI.
When a deployment is deleted from vRA, all VMs and resources associated with that deployment are destroyed.
Note: You may use Postman to run the API calls against vRA. The procedure and method is detailed in the following blog vRealize Automation Cloud Assembly's IaaS API - VMware Cloud Management First, annotate the IDs of each cloud zone and project using the below API calls. Obtaining the Project ID API Method: GETAPI: https://vRAApplianceFQDN/iaas/api/projects?$filter=name%20eq%20'ProjectName' Example API: https://vra_fqdn/iaas/api/projects?$filter=name%20eq%20'test-project' Response { ... "name": "test-project", "description": "", "id": "<UUID_1>", "organizationId": "<UUID_2>", ... } Note: The italicized value is the ID of our project test-project. Obtaining Cloud Zone ID API Method: GETAPI: https://vRAApplianceFQDN/iaas/api/zones?$filter=name%20eq%20'CloudZoneName' Example https://vra_fqdn/iaas/api/zones?$filter=name%20eq%20'Autolab VC / Autolab' Response { ... "name": "Autolab VC / Autolab", "id": "<UUID_3>", "updatedAt": "2022-08-19", ...} Note: The italicized value is the ID of our cloud zone Autolab VC / Autolab. Utilize an internal API call to retrieve the list of resources that are part of the project and the cloud zone. Obtain the Resource Names API Method: GETAPI https://vra_fqdn/provisioning/uerp/provisioning/mgmt/compute?$filter=customProperties.__groupResourcePlacementLink%20eq%20 '/provisioning/resources/group-placements/GroupPlacementID' Note: Group Placement ID is in the format ProjectID-CloudZoneID <UUID_1>-<UUID_3> Example API https://vra_fqdn/provisioning/uerp/provisioning/mgmt/compute?$filter=customProperties.__groupResourcePlacementLink%20eq%20 '/provisioning/resources/group-placements/<UUID_1>-<UUID_3>' Response { ... "hostName": "UbuntuTest", "isPublished": true, "id": "<UUID_4>", "name": "Cloud_vSphere_Machine_117", ....} Note: Repeat for all the Resource names identified from Step # 3. These should be searched and deleted from the deployments before attempting to dissociate the cloud zone from the project.Note: Date, time, and environmental variables may vary depending on your environment.
