The use of vCO (vCenter Orchestrator) to control the use of clusters

I use Distributed Power Management (DPM).  Suppose that a host is in sleep mode and has been turned off by DPM because it has low utlization on the cluster.

Then, use picks up once again.  DPM should eventually turn on the host return when there is enough demand for cluster resources.

However, using VCO, I want to check every 5 minutes, and what use gets above x %, make sure that no host ESXi is always off.

That way if a host is turned off power and application quickly, spikes and DPM is not enough fast, or if a host fails to power back on when it should be for a reason, I use VCO to check that.

Someone did he do something like that or have a recommendation on how to impliment it?

Thank you!

Of course there is. Here's a sample:

var mailMessage = new EmailMessage();
mailMessage.smtpHost = "smtp.domain.com";
mailMessage.fromAddress = "[email protected]";
mailMessage.toAddress = "[email protected]";
mailMessage.ccAddress = "[email protected]";

mailMessage.subject = "Mail Subject";
var mailText = "
This is an automated mail don't reply.


"; mailText += "Here could you place your advertising ;-)

"; mailText += "Regards,
"; mailText += "Your vCO Admin
"; mailText += "VMware vCenter Orchestrator @ Domain.com"; mailMessage.addMimePart(mailText,"text/html"); mailMessage.sendMessage();

You can create a script to task with her, but she to code I recentry posted or built a function with it. You are free to choose

Kind regards

    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.

  • Cannot get the value of capacity or free space with vCO vCenter plug-in 5.5.1


    Hi all

    As indicated in the title, as I migrated my devices vCO to vCO 5.5.1 (connected to 5.0 vCenters) 5.1 (connected to 5.5 Server devices vCenters) capacity and freeSpace from a given data store fields always show 0GO as value (although the provisonnedSpace displays a correct value).

    I tried to use the datastore.summary.capacity and datastore.summary.freeSpace properties, but they always return a value of 0.

    Are these properties obsolete or unusable with the 5.5.1 plugin?

    Thank you for your help.

    BZ

    Usually resolves such issues with lack of properties or values not updated, you should:

    1. take the latest technical preview of the plugin by (Version of technical overview of VMware vCenter Orchestrator plug-in for VMware vSphere 5.5.x)

    2 disable the inventory service in setting the property "com.vmware.o11n.vim.useInventoryService" to "false" (in vmo.properties).

    • Ability to disable the use of the service of inventory by setting the value of the java system property "com.vmware.o11n.vim.useInventoryService" to "false" (in vmo.properties).

    It will be useful.

    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.

  • vCenter Orchestrator 5.5 has no vCenter workflow in the library.

    Hello

    We simply configure vCenter Orchestrator in our vCenter Server to familiarize themselves with it.

    In vcenter Orchestrator client and vSphere Web Client, we do not have the vCenter workflow in the library.

    vCo Client.JPG

    We have the same thing in the Web Client vSphere.

    Remove the vCenter Plugin and install it again and it does not work either. In the newspapers of vCo, we have nothing that speak the vCenter, PlugIn, except for installation.

    In our configuration page, everything is green:

    Configuration page.JPG

    Anyone have any idea?

    Thanks for your help.

    Under plug-ins in your vCO Configuration page, make sure that the plug-in vcenter is actually active. Also, go in the troubleshooting of Setup page tab, and then in the right pane, click on the link that says "Reset current version". Once you have done this, restart the vCenter Orchestrator Server service. The restart should trigger a re - install the plug-in that is supposed to give rise to import the package for each plugin so that you have all the workflows library in the vCO Client

  • 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.

  • 4.1 Data Migration tool - "error: failure of the backup of the configuration of the vCenter Orchestrator.

    While following this KB article, I came across an error.  I googled a bit but it is really not a lot on that.  This process took me the better part of a month to get to this day.  Now all I have to do is migrate my databases and settings...  However, as with everything else I came against from 4.0 to 4.1 (and building a new server to do), nothing seems to be going my way with this project.

    Anyway, I executed the script of backup.bat several times and each time, it failed in the same place.  The error given is "error: failure of the backup of the configuration of the vCenter Orchestrator."  The log file has been attached.  I rebooted, made sure that all VMware services have been arrested and still no joy.

    Any help would be great!  If this isn't the case, I'll have to make another call to the support team.  I played with VMware products for years and I've never had to call until this project came.  In this month alone, I opened 4 tickets!

    I'm almost certain that this can be ignored without risk, especially if you do not use Orchestrator.  I recently made a 4.1 migration to another server and got the same error - I had any issues at all.

  • vCenter Orchestrator HTTP API: POST request error 400 1032

    I'm trying to start a workflow via a POST request to the vCenter Orchestrator API. When I run the same workflow with a GET request, there is no problem and I get the following result in the localhost_access_log.current_date.txt:

  • VCenter Orchestrator certificates

    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.

    Dear team,

    I hope it would be only certain types of admins/helpdesk do PW reset because you must connect to the WebView in order to run the workflow... in any case, you can follow this tutorial for a Webview based in vCO:

    http://www.vcoteam.info/articles/learn-VCO/107-create-a-simple-VCO-self-service-VM-provisioning-Portal-part-3.html

    Regarding the other prerequisites:

    vCO must have the ad plugin installed and configured to use SSL when communicating your AD environment. It is a requirement for users created with passwords and resetting passwords.

    When you get to the step of the tutorial for mapping a workflow, you'll want to use the workflow to "Change password". This is a workflow of library Active Directory that are available after the installation of the plugin AD and the vCenter Orchestrator Server service restarts.

    1. There are hundreds of workflows available for vCenter vCenter plug-in turned in vCO. If there is not a workflow that does what you need, then you can probably write your own or use some of these workflow library in combination to do what you need.
    2. Yes, you can use the workflow operations or the plug-in of SSH to connect to the guest Linux OS and run scripts. Customization of Linux is also supported for the operation as Clone/customize, and material of the add/edit like any other virtual computer.
    3. See the documentation of official response please. vCO Server can run under Linux (vCO device) or 64-bit Windows operating system. VCO Client can be run on Linux, Windows 64 - bit or 32 - bit, and OSX. As has been pointed out by Techstarts, are taken care of according to VMware (vCenter) guest operating system.
    4. There are many plug-ins available for vCO, allowing it to automate many different systems. See http://solutionexchange.vmware.com and click on Orchestrator Plug-ins to see what is available. Those who come to add plug-ins provided with vCO.

    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.
