How do i execute Automation runbook and execute command to a Hyper v Guest OS Linux from a Windows hybrid machine connected through Azure Arc ?
I have a machine connected via azure arc enabled server and also an automation account which runs poweshell runbooks in the machine. This machine has hyper V enabled linux OS instance.
Using Automation run books i shall execute commands connecting from windows machine to Hyper V guest OS -remote Linux OS. is it possible ? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Hello @MENON, MANUDEV
You actually have two options. First option is using a Hybrid Runbook Worker, which works on Linux. Another option is using the Run Command on ARC itself. The links down are good references to learn more:
Thanks @Ryan Hill for the suggestion. Here, The linux OS is one of the guest OS instance in the machine connected through Azure Arc eg- WinArc(Windows Azure Arc). i could execute run book from WinArc to WinG (Windows guest OS instance) using PSSession, but same is not happening for WinArc to LinuxG (Linux Guest Os instance). Tried ssh,hvc,plink and putty, it doesn't work with Automation run books.
Yes. As a your suggestions, i did a workaround and had made Linux guest OS onboarded using Azure Arc.
But curious why runbook execution is not happening in above usecase.
