It is all green in the Configurations tabs...

Installation Order

HALOTEQ — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:56:58 GMT

Hey all,
we just loaded ESX on 2 hosts, installed VMware 3.5 (waiting for 4.0). This is our first installation.

Can someone provide a software installation order when adding the other plug-ins. I want to be sure not to miss any prereqs and do not want to load out of order

Thanks!

e.g.

ESX
VMware 3.5
Update Manager
Orchestrator
etc......

Can't login in to Orchestrator - clean install

imitationman — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:43:58 GMT

This is a new installation of Orchestrator. I installed Orchestrator with the default ports on Windows Server 2003 and I've created an Instance for VMware in the local installation of MS SQL 2005.

I've successfully configured Orchestrator (green dots next to all sections) and tested my login information in the configuration page but when I go to login to Orchestrator, it says cannot connect to host. Going to https://localhost:443/sdk prompts that the page cannot be found. https://localhost does pull the "Welcome to VMWare Vsphere 4" page. The stats.log file keeps repeating this:

I've checked the registry and the string for 2 is blank just like the error in the stats.log file states.

http://HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VirtualCenter\DB

"1"="vCenter"
"2"=""
"3"=""
"4"="SQL Native Client"
"5"="10"

I'm stuck. What should I look at next? Where did I mess up in the install? What should be in the blank strings in the registry?

Orchestrator setup/config question

ouch — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:39:41 GMT

I have a brand new vCenter install, and want to get Orchestrator up and running. The documentation tells me to

"Log in to the Orchestrator Configuration interface form Start > Programs > VMware > vCenter Orchestrator
Web Configuration and change the default password."

This menu item opens a browser on http://localhost:8282/ and IE says the page cannot be displayed.

I have not used this product before, so I really don't know what to expect, so I'm stuck.

Plugin error after changed login user

cbader — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:01:19 GMT

I had a running VMware Orchestration installation. We needed to change the user used to login into vSphere from VMware Orchestration. We noticed after the user change Orchestrator was still using the old user. We restarted the Orchestrator service and now can't connect to the vCenter 4.0 plug-in. We changed the user back and restarted the service and still can't connect to the plug-in. Is there somewhere I can look to figure this out?

VMO Cannot Create New Workflow

walloutlet — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:30:09 GMT

Much like the other postings around the Internet, I am logged in to th Orchestrator client v4. In the bottom left it says I am connected as me and in brackets Administrator). I am assuming that means I am part of the Administrators group that I created on install and VMO is properly applying my credentials.

The problem is half of my options seem to be greyed out. I can't create new workflows, I can't even add a new category.

Researching this problem it seems the same question gets asked and then the solutions just sort of drift off, there was however one response that indicated that my license may play a factor in this. It was my impression that Orchestrator came free with vSphere but perhaps not really.

The systems I am running this is on is currently licensed as vSphere 4 Essentials, could this be the problem. I am having a hard time finding documents and information about Orchestrator so I was hoping that someone here could answer this question.

Thanks for your insight.

Getting a virtual machine

sh230388 — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:02:11 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to "do" something with a virtual machine via Orchestrator workflows. I see there's many workflows in place to help out but the issue I have is that they all require an input parameter like VMware3:VirtualMachine, VMware3:HostSystem, etc. When I run the workflow, the GUI allows me to click on the appropriate object.

What I want is to be able to enter these values as strings rather than selecting the objects, eg, To get a virtual machine, I want to enter a string and it will return me the VMware3:VirtualMachine object. How can I do this?

microsoft wmi plugin error

rgardnerS1 — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:01:24 GMT

After installing the microsoft wmi plugin it shows up in the configurator as functional, and I can look through the actions under com.vmware.library.microsoft.* and in workflows->library->microsoft, but under inventory when I expand microsoft it says "Error in plugin"

ch.dunes.model.sdk.SDKFinderException
Exception: SDK session 'SDKSession123424234242425' doesn't exist or was destroyed!

Any ideas?

How to move workflows from one orchestrator server to another

rgardnerS1 — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:33:10 GMT

I initially setup orchestrator as part of a test roll out and setup some workflows, now I've rolled out the real setup and would like to move the workflows I did in the original test setup over to my current server. Any ideas?

Exporting performance graph

Missing Action "vim3WaitTaskEnd"

wurzelwaldi — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 07:54:31 GMT

Good morning!

I want to clone a VM in vmware Orchestrator. By now, I try this by using the existing "Clone VM" Element in my own Workflow.

But every time I start my script i get a errormessage wich told me "Action 'vim3WaitTaskEnd' not found in module : com.vmware.library.vc.basic".
If I look into the vCenter I can see the clone task started right. In the Actions in Orchestrator "vim3WaitTaskEnd" isn'r findable.

with kind regards

wmi plugin

rgardnerS1 — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 19:47:45 GMT

I've installed the wmi plugin, but it looks like it's mainly good for pulling information about the VM's and thats it.

I need to change the hostname of a vm, and then do a few other tasks on it. I thought the wmi interface would let me do this much like the VC plugin allows me to control the vm's. It looks like all the attributes are read only from the wmi plugin in the api explorer. I've currently got a c# program that uses wmi to rename the hosts after I clone them and do a few other things, but it would be nice to be able to implement this all from vsphere. Am I going down the wrong path here?

If this is possible, anybody have any example code on how this could be done?

Thanks,

Where do I get Orchestrator?

esnmb — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:22:19 GMT

I'm told it comes with vCenter, but I don't see it. Does it come with VC 2.5 or just vSphere?

Change network link on virtual nic

wurzelwaldi — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 07:53:48 GMT

Hallo,

since a few days i try to get a script working in orchestrator.

here my script:

System.log("Start SetNics");

// virtualDeviceConfigSpec1 = new VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec();
virtualDeviceConfigSpec1 = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.vm.spec.config").getVirtualDeviceConfigSpec(nic1,null,VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.edit)
// virtualDeviceConfigSpec1.device = nic1;
Server.log("Set NIC2 ("virtualDeviceConfigSpec1.device.deviceInfo.label") to ConfigSprec");
virtualDeviceConfigSpec1.device.backing = new VcVirtualEthernetCardNetworkBackingInfo();
virtualDeviceConfigSpec1.device.backing.network = network1.reference;
Server.log("Set Network1 to backing");
// virtualDeviceConfigSpec1.operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.edit;

var virtualMachineConfigSpec = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
virtualMachineConfigSpec.deviceChange = new Array();
virtualMachineConfigSpec.deviceChange.push(virtualDeviceConfigSpec1);

tempVm.reconfigVM_Task(virtualMachineConfigSpec);

the script should change the network a nic is connected to.

the variables are:

tempVm = VirtualMachine
network1 = Network
nic1 = VcVirtualPCNet32

i hope someone could help

with kind regards

orchestrator vcenter inventory - critical issue

KyleWeir — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:02:37 GMT

Okay, I have orchestrator setup and everything seems like it is working/good, I can do the AD authentication and all of the other bells and whistles. Now the only problem I have is that under inventory in the client the vcenter if I understand it correctly should have your vcenter and the servers as sub items. At the moment my vcenter doesn't show up in there, there is an icon that says "vCenter 4.0" but nothing else I have restarted the services and the server. deleted and re-instated the ssl cert as well as the vcenter connection. And have had no luck yet, it does connect to one of my esx servers via ssh, but that only gets me so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated ASAP!

Non of the workflows work because it can't find anything in the inventory to work with.

vcenter orchestrator configuration challenge using sqlserver

gharouff — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:43:31 GMT

I keep getting "Database configuration successfully updated, but the configuration is in error" message.

Things I tried:

Went to ODBC clicked on system DSN tab / clicked on configure

Check to make sure I was on the correct SQL server (MBOEVMCONSOLE1\SQLEXP_VIM

Clicked next

Tested the connection and passed.

But when I click on apply changes I get the above error message.

This is SQL 2005 that came with the software

In the orchestrator configuration I have the following

Username:backup

Password:

Hostname or IP: localhost (tried IP address also)

Port:1433

Database name: SQLEXP_VIM

Instance name (if any): tried VIM_VCDB and (blank)

Domain: mentorschools.org

I have the following database error : -- Cannot connect to jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost:1433/SQLEXP_VIM;domain=mentorschools.org;instance=VIM_VCDB. Connection error was: Server localhost has no instance named VIM_VCDB.

Or I get -- Nothing listening on port - SQLServer probably down

Any suggestions

Multiple AD Domains

IOWDave — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:58:09 GMT

Good Afternoon,

Does anyone know if it is possible to configure Orchestrator so that users in multiple child domains of a single forest can access the application? I have tried setting my LDAP paths to the root domain, but it only appears to work if I set my paths to the child domain in which the accounts are defined.

Any help appreciated,

Dave.

orchestrator standalone

rbihlmeyer — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:35:47 GMT

I was a bit stumped by the instructions to "Download the vCenterOrchestrator.exe file." in the vco Installation and Configuration Guide. I couldn't find it anywhere on vmware.com.

Turns out the installation package with this name is on the vCenter server CD in vpx\vmo.

Maybe this saves some time for other people that first search the web and then their local computer

Orchestrator configuration help

olegarr — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:58:12 GMT

Hello:

I have few basic vCenter Orchestrator questions and hope someone will help me...

I installed Orchestrator now trying to configure it. I configured General, Network, LDAP, Database, Certificate, License, Mail and SSH... All tabs are green except Plug-ins and Startup Options...

My biggest questions are as follow:

My plug-ins tab is red and I cannot figure out what username/password I should provide that is a member of vCO Administration group. What username/password should I use? vmware/vmware does not work neither my admin's password..

If I am reading the doc correctly there should be some option to install vCO server as a service' but I do not see it (it's not in the License tab)... So, now I am using only vCenter Orchestrator Configuration, but not vCenter Orchestrator itself... How can I install and run vCO server (or just start it, because looks like I have it installed already)?

Thank you very mcuh for your help.

Plug-In Error - Bad credential for plugin installation ch.dunes.login.ldap.LdapOrganizationalUnit

jheppner — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:56:21 GMT

So I am at i believe the last step to get Orchestrator up and running and I have this error. Some background, I am using our production AD for authentication so I did not create any groups or IDs. I am using my ID and the users group for authentication. My question is do I need to create a vCO-Admin group to get past this or can i use one of our existing groups?

Any help would be appreciated.

Orchestrator Web config Problem

MarcelF — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 10:39:07 GMT

Hello all,

I am trying to setup an Vcenter.

When I am in the web configuration of Orchestrator, I get all green, except for Vcenter 4.0.

I keep getting errors like : Login failed, 'Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password.'

I have tried a lot of usernames and passwords, but it just won't work.

Can anyone tell me how to configure that option? (Vcenter 4.0)

Regards, Marcel

Where is the Microsoft plug-in?

fjpena — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:58:32 GMT

Hi all,

I am trying to find the Microsoft plug-in for Orchestrator. The documentation says it is available as a "separate download", but I have been unable to find it anywhere in the VMware web page.

Any hint? Thanks in advance,

Certificate Error importing Solar System example Package

BlueDevilDan — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:45:09 GMT

Finally getting back to trying this plugin thing

I successfully installed the plugin and restarted the service as required.

Then, from the Orchestrator client I went to the Packages section and selected to import the file com.vmware.documentation.examples.package from the example.

I got an error popup stating "pkg-signer found but no certificate found for name : C=CH,OU=VMware Inc,O=VMware Inc,CN=VMware" and the package did not import

What am I missing ?

"getFactoryJndiNameForUser" error in consuming webservice

mino98 — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:54:23 GMT

Hello,
I'm trying to access to the VCO webservices from PHP, which should be trivial since there's a good documentation in the "developer manual" and since the WSDL is available.

However, I always get the following server-side exception (here is after a find("VC:Virtualmachine", ...), but I get the same error regardless of the called method):

Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [soapenv:Server.userException] java.rmi.RemoteException: find(); nested exception is: 
	ch.dunes.util.DunesServerException: Unable to invoke method 'getFactoryJndiNameForUser' in /path/test2.php:5
Stack trace:
#0 [internal function]: SoapClient->__call('find', Array)
#1 /path/test2.php(5): SoapClient->find('VC:VirtualMachi...', NULL, 'user123', 'password123')
#2 {main}
  thrown in /path/test2.php on line 5

the code I'm using is a minimalist 2-liner, just a "proof of concept":

$vso = new SoapClient("http://url:8280/vmware-vmo-webcontrol/webservice?WSDL");
$result = $vso->find("VC:VirtualMachine", null, "user123", "password123");

What I am doing wrong?

how does file i/o work with this?

pwyzorski-wyzguy — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 04:40:25 GMT

I am basically trying to read a properties file off of the VMO servers local hard drive. I tried a Properties.load command with a valid filepath, but it didn't seem to work. I then resorted to the filewriter object giving it an explicit filepath on the VMO server. For example: "C:\myfile.txt", but it didn't work either. What am I missing here?

Getting started guide - 'hello world' in Orchestrator

chrisy — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:18:03 GMT

When someone manages to get Orchestrator running, it's far from clear what to do next, or even if it's worth proceeding. Is there a document that explains, with clear specific examples, how to make Orchestrator do something?

Is there, for example, something that tells you how to run a workflow? Even if it just prints 'hello world' somewhere it would be a major start! The installation guide gets the product set up, the admin and developers guide go into great detail but they seem to assume you know what the product's all about and what it can do. An expert would find them an indispensable reference but there's not much there for a beginner.

I would have thought that there would be plents of blogs discussing useful things you can do but I've not found anything?

At this stage I'm not looking to do any particular task; a step-by-step guide with screenshots, starting from when initial setup is just complete and ending with a sample workflow running would be perfect if such a thing exists?

Decision statement pulldown list

mino98 — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:08:11 GMT

I'm using vOrchestrator 4.0.0 build 4240, and I've noticed what i think it's a bug:

if I open up the Schema tab, select a "decision element" and try to edit the "Decision" tab, I can add/edit/delete properties but the decision statement pulldown list always remains empty. Explicatory image :

This problem is reproducible 100% of times, regardless of the variable type.

I've already tried uninstalling/reinstalling vorchestrator, is there anything i should do? am i doing anything stupid? is it a known bug, by any chanche?

Plugin for Virtual Infrastructure3

mino98 — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 14:32:57 GMT

Disclaimer: this may be a lame question... but still I couldn't find an answer

I read from vOrchestrator's release notes:

Orchestrator's vCenter 4.0 plug-in is fully supported for use with vCenter 4.0. However, using the vCenter Server 4.0 plug-in with vCenter Server 2.5 is not supported. To use Orchestrator 4.0 with vCenter Server 2.5, you must install Orchestrator's Virtual Infrastructure 3 plug-in.

Where can I download this plugin from? I checked everywhere in the download section of vmware.com without results...
Thanks!

Default Email Workflows not happy

wildedave — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 06:28:02 GMT

Hi Peoples

I am having an issue with the default email Workflows. As I understand it, and I may be wrong, when I execute one of the email Workflows I am presented with a form which enables me to enter such information as my mailhost, To and From addresses etc. The only required field I need to complete is the To address as the rest of the information required is pulled from the information that I have Pre Filled in the Mail Tab of the Orchestrator Configuration.

That being the case, the workflow fails. Looking at the logs and I see a buch of empty fields where the pre fill info should be, along with the error:

Cannot send mail : 501 Syntax error, parameters in command "MAIL FROM:<me@.there.com.au>" unrecognized or missing

Executing the Workflow and submitting all of the information on the form at the time of execution results in the Workflow succeeding.

So to me that indicates that the Workflow is not pulling the required info from the Configurator (ir vice-versa).

Any thoughts before I raise a SR??

Thanks in Advance

How to deploy a VM from a Template from Orchestrator

pwyzorski-wyzguy — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 01:16:51 GMT

Hey,

How do I deploy a VM from a template using a customization spec or launching a customization script on a Linux host via Orchestrator? The JavaScript function seems non-obvious to do this so a bit of sample code would be nice. Also, if I attempt to do so using a PlugIn what are my athentication rights? The same as the logged in user?

Create vlan for esx host

joeheyming — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 23:51:05 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to learn how to use orchestrator and I thought a good project would be to create a workflow that allows you to create a vlan for an esx host.

What I would like to do further with this is to create a vlan on a bunch of hosts at a time, like say: for this folder of esx hosts, create the vlan id on it if it doesn't exist.

Any tips on how to add a vlan to an esx host?

Sorry, I meant, can I use the vmware api to create a portgroup with a specific vlan ID for the main vswitch of an esx host.

convert an object reference to VimManagedObject

irene_zimmermann — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:58:18 GMT

Hi,

I would like to set a Custom Attribute to all VMs that contains information about HA Restart Priority. If it is set to high I want the Attribute to be "Yes" otherwise it is "No". I loop trough all clusters and get the VM specific HA Setting (Cluster default ist Medium). The Problem I have ist with converting the VM Managed Object Reference to an Object to make operations on. "convertToVimManagedObject" needs as first input the "managed object holder". What does that mean and what would it be in the code below?

var clusters = VcPlugin.allClusterComputeResources;
var newValue="No";
var restartPrio;

for (var cluster in clusters){
var config=clusterscluster.configuration;
var dasVm = config.dasVmConfig;
for (var das in dasVm){
var tempVMMO=dasVmdas.key;
var tempVM = VcPlugin.convertToVimManagedObject(+object holder+,tempVMMO);
restartPrio=dasVmdas.dasSettings.restartPriority
if (restartPrio.toLowerCase()=="high"){
newValue="Yes";
}
System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.customattribute").setOrCreateCustomField(tempVM, "HA", newValue);

}
}

Thanks and regrds,
Irene

call workflow from within vSphere client?

ekuzmack — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:55:06 GMT

Is there an easy way to call a workflow from within the vSphere client?

For example, I have a workflow that creates a VM and does a few other things (like send an email, etc...).

I want to call that workflow from the vSphere client where it prompts me for the required data (vm name, etc...).

Is there an easy way to do this?

thx.

Manipulate vCenter Permissions with vCO Workflow

irene_zimmermann — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 06:37:49 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to change user permissions and roles in vCenter with workflows.

For example, I want to copy the permissions from one folder to another. I found the correct object and method: VcAuthorizationManager.setEntityPermissions().

The problem is that I can't find a way to access the AuthorizationManager. AuthorisationManager is access via the content property of the ServiceContent Object and that object is returned by "RetrieveServiceInstance"-Method according to the documentation: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.ServiceInstanceContent.html#field_detail

How do I call this mehtod? The documentataion does not make any sense to me since there is no ServiceInstance-Object in vCO and the ServiceContent-Object has no such method.

I would appreciate an example on how to use these objects.

Thanks,
Irene

Strange behavior with the Task Recurrence set to Every Weeks

bzjeurd — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 10:43:40 GMT

Hello guys,

Using VMO 3.2 I get a strange behavior with the Task Recurrence parameter when set to every weeks. If I check Mon Tue Wed the task will be executed on each days selected, but if I add one of the following days (Thu Fri Sat or Sun), the task will be executed only starting the last four days selected. In fact, the three first days of the weeks are skipped... This is clearly mentionned in the "Next execution" field.

Someone got this issue ?

I had to split in two tasks (one for the 3 first days of the week and the second for the 2 last working days of the week) in order to execute a task schedule for the five working days of the week.

Regards.

Bz.

Orchestrator Compatible with HP Service Center?

mark.chuman — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 17:03:05 GMT

Is it true that Orchestrator can interact with change ticketing software by checking if a change ticket is approved and then executing a workflow? Anyone use Orchestrator with HP Service Center? Anyone use Orchestrator for automated ESX patching with VUM?

how to create multiple virtual machines?

mightycjo — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 09:03:39 GMT

Hi,

i designed a workflow wich build a single virtual machine. In the beginning the user can choose the number of virtual machines to build. My workflow only runs one time and build one virtual machine. Is there a way to build multiple machines with generating a name (like vm0001, vm0002, vm0003)? is there any example of a workflow like this?

thanks!

Stuck with SQL server configuration

v_potnis2001 — Wed, 27 May 2009 23:29:05 GMT

I have SQL server running and I can login using user, password. Now the same user, password combo doesn't work for Orchestrator. Any reasons why?
What should be the hostname or IP?

CustomFields complete set

mcsadi — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 06:58:32 GMT

Hi,

i've tried to get the complete set of CustomFields including their keys and names. It is not possible to get this list from CustomFieldsManger (property field cannot get directly).

How can I get a list of defined CustomFields in VC with their names and paired keys?

For example: if I want to set a customField of a VM, I need the key to set the value. But I only have the name of the customField. If I read the customField of a VM, i only get the paired key-value and so I cannot display the name.

regards, Andreas

Grow disk in VMO

irene_zimmermann — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 09:01:02 GMT

Hi,

I'm using VMO to clone and sysprep VMs.

The workflow works fine but now customers requested larger os disks.

The clone from template task will create a 20GB Disk (Harddisk 1) and sysprep.inf is customized to extend os partition (ExtendOEMPartition=1). When I pause the workflow and grow the disk manually using vmkfstools -X or the vCenter API and then restart the workflow I end up with a larger os disk, just as I wanted.

How can I do the disk resizing part in vmo to automate the whole workflow again?

Here's the code I was working on, the replace and edit operations throw errors in VC (the workflow ends successfully):

var devices=vm.config.hardware.device;

//getting OS disk

for (i in devices){
var device=devices+;+
if (device.deviceInfo.label == "Hard Disk 1" && System.getObjectClassName(device)=="VimVirtualDisk") {
var disk=device;
+System.log("Disk: " + disk);+
break;
}
}
+
//create spec

if (device != null) {+
var configSpec = new VimVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
var deviceConfigSpecs = new Array();
+var deviceConfigSpec;

var capacityInKb = parseInt( "" + (capacityInGB*1024*1024) );+
disk.capacityInKB = capacityInKb;
+System.log(disk.capacityInKB);

deviceConfigSpec = new VimVirtualDeviceConfigSpec();+
deviceConfigSpec.device = disk;
deviceConfigSpec.fileOperation = VimVirtualDeviceConfigSpecFileOperation.replace;
deviceConfigSpec.operation = VimVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.edit;
+deviceConfigSpecs[0] = deviceConfigSpec;

// List of devices+
+configSpec.deviceChange = deviceConfigSpecs;

// Launch the reconfigVM task+
+task = vm.reconfigVM_Task( configSpec );

}

Error in VC either "Invalid operation for device '0' " or "Invalid configuration for device '0' ".

Thanks for help.+

a user guide to configuring vCO

siayiu — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 11:51:30 GMT

Given the number of questions on the configuration of vCO, someone wrote up a quick guide on how he configured his vCO install.

I think most of the got-yous are covered here. Some pretty good feedback to the product team, I guess.

Get around with patchHostManager

juststormY — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 14:33:22 GMT

Hello together,

i've some problem to get around with the patchHostManager of the Orchestrator.

The following i want to do at the start of the concept:

I have a database which includes black out schedules (maintenance time) for the ESX hosts . The workflow should do the following:

You enter the ESX Host and select a VUM baseline. After this the workflow retrieves the blackout schedule (just a SQL query) for this host, schedule a workflow for this time and stage the patches of the chosen baseline. To the specified time the host shut down his guest VMs, enter the maintenance mode and start patching. After a reboot, the host should exit maintenance mode and restart the VMs.

Now after some help i know that it won't be possible to select VUM Baselines in the Orchestrator (it is not implemented - hope it is at the next release). But i think should be no problem so far, i hope i can create a metadata.zip file and get around with this.

But now my question is "how" to start my workflow? I did not found any description or example how to use the patchHostManager class. Does anybody can give me a start oder a quick example how to get what i want?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Greetings!

Orchestrator 4.0 LDAP Config

jim1096 — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:54:23 GMT

PLEASE HELP! My sanity is at risk...

I am trying to configure LDAP in Orchestrator but keep getting the error: LDAP connection successful but no users found. Please check LDAP paths.

my user lookup base is: ou=users,DC=SG,DC=com

I read in an earlier post that changing the ou to CN in front of Users helped but that hasn't been the case for me.

The OU Users certainly exists and I created the a group VMO_Administrators and added the administrator to that group.

I am stumped!

Configuring vCenter Orchestrator 4 Everything configures correctly but the Network. Can't Save the config

Chamon — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 19:08:35 GMT

I am going through my first vCenter Orchestrator configuration. I Started out following the configuration directions in order. I logged into the vCenter Orchestrator Web Configuration utility. One of the first things to do is set the network on the server. I have gone into the Networking tab and clicked on the drop down to select the host IP address. It is there along with 127.0.0.1. I selected the servers IP address and it correctly fills in the DNS Name field with the fqdn. Now there is supposed to be an Apply Now button that comes up............ but it doesn't.

I have left all of the port settings on this page to the default. I can click on the SSL tab and am able to import the certificate from the vCenter server without issue. All other aspects of the configuration have been completed (LDAP, Database, Server Certificate, License) but I can not get it to save the network configuration and bind to the NIC. So I am stuck. This is the last portion of the initial configuration that will not complete. Any help would be great.

The Apply Now button has been available on every other necessary location during the install.

This is a VM with Server 2003 Enterprise R2 SP2, SQL 2005, 2GB RAM, and 1vCPU

Nothing else installed on this server

BlueDevilDan — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 19:03:21 GMT

VMO Configuration Issue with LDAPS

bussdw — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:00:14 GMT

I'm trying to get VMO working with our Active Directory environment, which only acceps LDAPS connections. When VMO tries to connect to AD, I receive the following error: "Unable to connect to LDAP server. Simple bind failed <server ip:port>"

A few questions:

1. When connecting to AD, the username can follow the same format as if one were logging into Active Directory normally, right? (i.e. using the format of <username> as opposed to ~~username@domain~~)

2. Do any SSL certs need to be imported into VMO in order for binding to occur successfully when using LDAPS?

Any assistance would be appreciated. The wall in my cube is starting to get a dent from where my head keeps banging against it.

vCenter / Orchestrator configuration problem

Martell — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:06:52 GMT

Hi,

While setting up vCenter Server and configuring Ochestrator, I have got into trouble to finish it. I am not able to find any user that is a member of the vCO Administration group for completing the Plug-ins section that is needed for Startup Options. On the other hand Orcestrator Server cannot be run for adding a user into the Administration group (assuming that this is the place it should be done from) wihout completing first the Startup Options section in the Web Configuration.

The Orchestrator Installation and Configuration Guide dos not make clear how to make a user a member of the Administration group before the Administrator has been started, however, it says "Enter the credentials for a user who is a member of the Orchestrator Administrator group". I have tried the default user (vmware), the user I configured in the AD for running vCenter Server service and the local administrator but it keeps giving the error "Bad credential for plugin installation. Cannot login user : vCenter, user unkown"

Any help is appreciated how to go on with that situation.

Excited

ullbergm — Sun, 31 May 2009 23:36:47 GMT

So is anyone else as exited as i am that Orchestrator is part of vCenter Standard?

We are in the process of "operationalizing" our environment and Orchestrator is the perfect way to do that. If we can define workflows for all the tasks we do then the day-to-day stuff will be golden.

I know that LCM has some of the things we need but a custom workflow for out shop will be awesome.

Workflow that emails you the available free space on a datastore

siayiu — Thu, 28 May 2009 12:22:50 GMT

You can import this workflow and schedule it to run at regular intervals.

I haven't gone through the work, but you should also be able to modify the workflow to include all the datastores in your environment.

Please read the description in the workflow before you run it.

VMO communication with VC

malorr — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 13:35:50 GMT

Hi,

There seems to be a few posts on this subject but nothings that helps so I think I'm missing something. I configure my VC connection in Orchestrator to use the VC admin user with a "Session per user" , I have installed the certificate from the VC server and I can test the connection and all looks good and it goes green in orchestrator but when I try and register anything or import anything in LCM I dont see anything below the VC when I browse for a resource. In addition in orchestrator I get some permission erors shown below, I am using the LCM appliance out thebox so no changes to the LDAP schema and I didn't think I needed to as the admin user has all the required privildges! any thoughs?

LDAP Test Login vmware Orchestrator Configuration

mysza78 — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 18:34:19 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to configure VMware Orchestrator Configuration for Lifecycle Manager. I am having some problems with LDAP Test Login. I am finally able to connect to AD so my status is "green." However, I cannot succesfully run Test Login. I see the following error:

Error: ch.dunes.login.ldap.LdapElementsGeneric

What does that mean? Therefore, I have issue with Plugins. I cannot install anything. I am a bit confused what credentials to use there anyway. I tried Administrator (which is domain admin as well as vmware which I added to administrators group). It's all on localhost. I installed AD just for a purpose of LCM.

So 2 questions - how do I fix the issue with Test Login under LDAP and what user I use to enable plugins. I am not sure who is a member of VMP Administration group. How can I check?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

LCM SOAP API examples?

jswager1 — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:53:24 GMT

Are there any examples of the LCM SOAP API? There is the API document at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmo_api.pdf, but the document contains only the barest description of the methods and objects. For example, the "find" method indicates it can be used to perform queries, but there is no details on how to perform the queries. There is just a string parameter called Query. But there are no guidelines, instructions, or anything regarding what to put into that parameter.

Is this the wrong group for such a question?

If the LCM web pages use the SOAP API, and there's a way to intercept the SOAP messages, then I guess I could sort of reverse-engineer my way through the various commands. But I'm not certain that the LCM web pages use the SOAP API and I'm not sure how I would get the webserver to show me the SOAP messages.

Configuring VMO to use OpenLDAP

ViCoS — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 11:50:34 GMT

Hi,

In the lifecycle manager installation document it mentions that the appliance runs OpenLDAP (slapd) version 2.3.35. How can I configure VMO to use this rather than the AD? Is there any document that details this? I cant find any info in the install guide on this. Ideally I do not want to have to rely on the AD.

thanks,

Chi
