Task Name | Infoblox_Host_Registration |
Description | I’ve just finished creating custom workflow tasks for integration into Infoblox Grid Manager. The attached workflows request the next free IP address from an Infoblox network range. A host is then registered as a DNS host record for that address. Rollback is also integrated. There is also a ‘delete record’ workflow task too. |
Prerequisites |
|
Category | Workflow (and tasks) |
Components | It has a custom task and sample test workflow.. |
Update 23/03/2015 | I've updated the 'Infoblox_Get_Next_Available_IP' workflow task so that it also retrieves the network comment field from the Infoblox Grid Manager and have named it 'Infoblox_Get_Next_Available_IP_v2'. New workflow task attached. |
Update 27/11/2015 | Please find attached a modified set of workflow tasks (InfoBlox_Workflows_UCSD_5_4_0_0_plus.wfdx) for use with UCS Director 5.4.0.0 and beyond. These are not compatible with UCS Director releases prior to 5.4.0.0. |
Instructions for Regular Workflow Use:
This could be combined with Orf’s 'VM with IP Input' tasks to provide VM creation with IP supplied by Infoblox.
Pictures speak louder than words, so here you go:
Infoblox IPAM configured networks:

Addendum to this awesome work by Russ...
In case the comment field in Infoblox contains the VLAN number, the number can be pulled out as well (version 2). This in turn could be used to assertion the vSwitch in UCSD for the VM (VM Deployment with USER IP INPUT)
NOTES for 5.4 Plus tasks from Russ.....
Important the comment field has to be filled out!!!!
Password masking Notes:
The log file before a little fix up:
The log after the fix up:
Here are the steps to mask the password in the log:
The custom task both columns have to have the password classification enabled:
Here is the place to enable that:
In the workflow properties section the password type has to be set:
The problem is solved.
the fqdn MUST be in lowercase ..
That is interesting and great news. Thank you for sharing. I used and IP and did not have DNS set up during testing.
Is it possible to have infoblox integration used for getting next IP address for guest customization?
