VMware vRealize Orchestrator Cookbook
By :

This recipe centers on using the SSH plugin. With this plugin, you are able to connect to appliances (think managed routers, switches, and so on...) or a Linux- or Solaris-based system, run programs, or transfer files.
We need to be able to create a new workflow. We also need a Linux or Solaris system that we can access via SSH (for example, as root). If you don't have a Linux system handy, you can use the Orchestrator appliance itself.
For the SCP example, you need to allow Orchestrator access to its local filesystem, or use the default /var/run/vco
directory. Refer to the Configuring access to the local filesystem recipe in Chapter 2, Optimizing Orchestrator Configuration.
If you want to connect to the appliance itself (127.0.0.1
) you need to enable SSH access as shown in the Tuning the appliance recipe in Chapter 2, Optimizing Orchestrator Configuration.
We split this recipe into three parts: SSH access, SSL key access, and SCP usage.
