What to do next

Verify that the vRealize Operations Manager management pack is fetching workflows.
  • In the Solutions page, verify that the Collection State column and Collection Status are green under Configured Adapter Instances. The Collection Status displays Data Receiving after the first collection cycle. The default time for a collection cycle is five minutes.
  • In the top pane of vRealize Operations Manager, click the Administration icon and click Inventory. Verify that the vRealize Operations Manager workflows are displayed on the table and sort by the Adapter Type column or filter by name of the adapter instance if necessary.
  • Optionally, discover additional packages to configure workflows.

Ensure that the instance of vRealize Operations Manager where you are configuring the Management Pack for vRealize Orchestrator has an instance of vCenter with vRealize Orchestrator configured. If this is not configured, an alert is displayed in vRealize Operations Manager. You can add a vCenter instance to vRealize Orchestrator to remediate this alert.
