Generate Unique Hostname workflow

Ensures a unique, sequentially-numbered hostname by checking for naming conflicts in vCenter, DNS, and Active Directory.

Schema

Inputs/Outputs

Name Type Direction Description
nameBase string Input letter-based portion of the VM naming format
domain string Input domain name for checking DNS conflicts
digits number Input optional manually-specified numbering suffix; overrides automatic numbering but still checks for conflicts
vCenterName string Input FQDN of the owning vCenter
vmName string Output generated VM name

Variables

Name Type Value Description
adHost AD:AdHost [object AD:AdHost] host used by the AD plugin
candidateVmName string holds the current working name during checks
computerNames ConfigurationElement [object ConfigurationElement] vRO config element to keep track of the last-used number sequence for a given nameBase
conflict boolean false gets set to true when a name conflict is encountered
digitCount number 2 determines how many digits get appended to nameBase
errMsg string thrown when errors are encountered
hostnameSequence number 0 starts the sequence at 0, tracks as it changes
vcSdkConnection VC:SdkConnection host used by the vCenter plugin (set based on vCenterName input)
vms Array/VC:VirtualMachine holds VM objects to check for conflicts
