SQL vCenter Orchestrator config problem

I recently downloaded and installed vSphere 5. I installed vCenter and added my esxi servers successfully. I'm trying to configure Orchestrator. When I connect and try to set up the database, I can not connect. I'm not sure what to put. I entered the ip address of the local computer, which is where I installed the vCenter server. When I installed vCenter he installed SQL 2008. I guess it creates the database for Orchestrator, is this correct. If this is not the case, what should I do to get this working. I downloaded SQL 2008 express manager but cannot even see that the database. How to solve this problem?

Hello

The vCenter Server Setup does not create a database for Orchestrator.

Here's what you need to do to set up the database of the vCO.

First configure SQL Server Express to the remote connection. Here are the steps:

http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-50/topic/com.VMware.vSphere.vco_install_config.doc_42/GUID-0F8AE76E-6BB0-4679-B597-973E4ECB8177.html

Then manually create the database of vCO. For SQL Server Express, you can use the osql tool (just search osql on the computer on which you installed SQL Server Express). The osql.exe file can be found here:

C:\Program Files (x 86) \Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\

or here:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\

The steps for creating a database with OSQL are:

1. start the osql tool in a command prompt.

(a) go to the installation directory.

(b) type osql.exe EI

(EI means approved connection).

2. create the database of vCO, vco, for example.

(a) on the first line type: CREATE DATABASE vco

(b) on the second line type: GO

Finally, you can configure vCO to work with SQL Server Express using the interface Configuration of the vCO. The steps to do this are provided as examples in the subject to: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.vco_install_config.doc_42/GUID841EB9F0-2CBC-44E3-9AC2-4EBAE36F6942.html

I hope this helps.

  • VMware vCenter Orchestrator Configuration problem

    Hi guys,.

    My company has just installed VMware vCenter Orchestrator and we try to create a new host to vCenter server with version 5.0.1.

    Can someone point me to documentation that shows me how to configure the web page in the print screen attached?  Or can someone please tell me what is needed in the empty fields, etc.?  When we try to enter info, we get alerts of service of red light of the vCenter Server tab and the tab startup options.  Both give us a red circle indicating a problem.

    Thank you!

    A free IP address? Oh... No, this plugin configuration is not actually CREATE a vCenter for you, it allows you to configure the vCO to speak to an EXISTING vCenter server you must already have a server vCenter configuration somewhere and you must use the FULL domain name or address IP of this server in this configuration.

  • vCenter / Orchestrator configuration problem

    Hello

    While the implementation of vCenter Server and Orchestrator configuration, I had trouble to finish. I am not able to find any user who is a member of the Group of Directors vCO to fill the Plug-ins section which is necessary to Boot Options. The other Orcestrator server cannot run to add a user in the Administration Group (assuming that this is the place that it should be done) wihout fill first the Startup Options section in the Web Configuration.

    The back Orchestrator Installation and Configuration Guide not clearly how do a user member of the management group until the administrator has started, however, it says "enter the credentials of a user who is a member of the group administrator Orchestrator." I tried the default user (vmware), the user I set up in the pub for vCenter Server service running and the local administrator, but he keeps giving the error «Bad credentials for the installation of the plugin.» "Unable connect user: vCenter, unknown user.

    Any help is appreciated how go about this situation.

    Hi Martell,

    I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems with the configuration.

    Let me see if I could erase this until relations are here.

    1. the user name that you used to connect to the Configurator is not related to any configuration in the configurator.

    2. the user of the plugin in the plugin name must be in the ad group that you specified in the LDAP tab under group admin vCO.  Here is my config of the sample for the vCO admin group: "CN = vco - admin, CN = Users, DC = pm - vco, DC = local.

    I guess that if you add the service account used by running vCenter Server to the group admin vCO listed above you will be ok.

    Let us know if it works.

    First check the configuration of the vCO application and that all green lights. If this isn't the case difficulty what the problem is.

    If everything is green, see the server.log file and look for FATAL / ERROR.

    It is the very generic error message. If you look in the server.log - vco server log file you will find more specific error information. If it is not confidential you can contact here I can take a look.

  • Change the default Web pages display in vCenter Orchestrator

    , I've been dev tests vCenter Orchestrator for BYU and have aired on a question. Recently, I ran across a tutorial posted on the website of the vCO team (http://www.vcoteam.info/learn-vco/create-a-simple-vco-self-service-vm-provisioning-portal-part-2.html). I also have a display of Web pages can I customize myself (because you can't do this at weboperator).

    The problem that I am running is the following. I've traveled MY CUSTOM web display to run a workflow (in this case to set up a virtual machine), and he asks to my e-mail to e-mail account. By clicking on review and approve the application, it automatically attempts to call the display of pages web weboperator (that I don't have published and will not be published).

    What I want to know is how have Orchestrator call MY display of webpages of these interactions, as I intend to do some customization on my display of web pages.

    Thank you!

    How to make a call from CPO to vCO (vcenter orchestrator)?

    Hello

    I am trying to create a workflow that would connect to a vCO.

    I was Expecting

    1. how to create targets for the vCO and

    2. how acess that target.

    Concerning

    Shiva

    1) there is no target for the vCO. We have a target/connection to Virtual Center (vCenter)

    (2) If you want to make vCO calls you could do, it all depends on how the API is structured. You can make calls via web services or CLI, etc.

    If you give your use case it is perhaps more to discuss. If you need an ENH or put something in, you can open a case with the TAC.

  • Connect with vCenter Orchestrator 7

    Can not find, where I can connect the camera orchestrator 7.0 can connect to the Server vcenter. There is no documentation available for this version

    can anyone help? Thank you very much

    Connect vRO 7 to vCenter, you can use a workflow now, check under \Library\vCenter\Configuration

    - Add an instance of vCenter Server <--> this workflow implements vRO to allow vRO to things with vCenter.

    - Registry vCenter Orchestrator as a vCenter Server extension <-> this workflow shows vCenter Orchestrator is available to run workflows. It is important for vSphere integration Web Client for Orchestrator. Note: vRO and vCenter MUST use the same source SSO and the user logged on to the Web Client vSphere must be a member of the Administrators group of the vRO you specified for Orchestrator.

    If I import a certificate from a vCenter Orchestrator, and then afterwards I implement PKI to give my vCenter a certificate approved, will be my workflow who fail vCenter until I have import the new certificate?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I think it will be. If you plan to change the cert of the vRO also I think that the order should be:

    -Change the certificate of the vRO. If you are using a public CA certificate that all the imported certificates will be deleted form the keystore that we create new keystore in the present case.

    -Change the certificate of vCenter.

    -Import the certificate vCenter vCO.
