VMware vRealize Orchestrator is a powerful automation tool designed for system administrators and IT operations staff who are planning to streamline their tasks and are waiting to integrate the functions with third-party operations software.

We will demonstrate how to upgrade from previous versions to vRealize Orchestrator 7.

You will also come to understand visual programming, how to integrate base plugins into workflows, and how to automate VMware. You will also get to know how to troubleshoot vRealize Orchestrator. By the end of this book, you will be able to get the most out of your Orchestrator installation, and will be able to develop complex workflows and create your own highly integrated automations of vRealize environments.

Adding Orchestrator as an infrastructure endpoint

This will add Orchestrator as an additional endpoint into the vRA infrastructure. This will allow you access to plugins that are not part of the endpoints we can configure in the Adding an Orchestrator endpoint recipe in this chapter.

Getting ready

You need an external or internal Orchestrator as well as a user account that has Administrator rights in Orchestrator.

How to do it...

We are now adding Orchestrator as a vRA Infrastructure endpoint:

  1. Log in to vRA with an Infrastructure Admin account.
  2. Go to Infrastructure | Endpoints | Endpoints.
  3. Click on New and select Orchestration | vRealize Orchestrator.
  4. Give the Orchestrator a name.
  5. The Address for the internal Orchestrator is https://[vra FQDN]/vco, and for an external Orchestrator it is https://[vROFQDN]/vco. As vRA uses a proxy, you don't have to specify the port number anymore.
  6. Create Credentials with a user who is a member of the vRO Administrator group.
  7. Add a new property by clicking on New...
