13. Retirement Enhancement
(G. McCullough)
PR #1971 - Goal: To provide a solid out of the box retirement state machine
that can be easily modified and customized. (See PR description for more
detailed breakdown of changes)
Old logic:
● Relied heavily on internal processing
● Object immediately marked as retired
● VMs required policy assignment to access Automate.
New logic:
● All steps exposed in Automate state machine and fully customizable.
● No policy assignment.
Important changes:
● New events: request_vm_retire and request_service_retire
● New attribute “retirement_state” allows for better tracking and error
detection.

14. Retirement Enhancement
(G. McCullough)
Old VM retirement workflow:
1. Set retired flag
2. Raise vm_retired event
3. Raise audit event
4. Power off VM
5. Calls into Automate (Requires policy assignment)
New VM retirement workflow:
1. Raise request_vm_retire event - Calls into Automate (With no policy
assignment)
2. Start_Retirement - set retirement_state to 'retiring’
3. PreRetirement (different depending on vendor type)
4. Perform custom actions (example: Release MAC and/or IP address)
5. Remove from provider
6. Finish_retirement
a. Set retirement_state to ‘retired’
b. Raise audit event

15. Service Dialogs (G. McCullough)

18. IPv6 (J. Rafaniello)
● Hosts and Providers will now default to use
the hostname column for communication,
not ipaddress. UI changes are still to be
done.
● Merged support for IPv6 addresses with
Rhevm/ovirt (requires ip6tables 443 open)
● Rhevm/ovirt discovery fixed to eliminate
false positives

19. STIG (J. Rafaniello)
