The vCenter plug-in workflow library contains workflows that you can use to run automated processes related to the management of vCenter. What to read next Batch WorkflowsBatch workflows populate configuration elements or run workflows on a selected vCenter object. Cluster and Compute Resource WorkflowsWith the cluster and compute resource workflows, you can create, rename, or delete a cluster. You can also activate or deactivate high availability, Distributed Resource Scheduler, and vCloud Distributed Storage on a cluster. Configuration WorkflowsThe Configuration workflow category of the vCenter plug-in contains workflows that let you manage the connections to vCenter instances. Custom Attributes WorkflowsWith custom attributes workflows, you can add custom attributes to virtual machines or get a custom attribute for a virtual machine. Datacenter WorkflowsWith datacenter workflows, you can create, delete, reload, rename, or rescan a datacenter. Datastore and Files WorkflowsWith the datastore and files workflows, you can delete a list of files, find unused files in a datastore, and so on. Datacenter Folder Management WorkflowsWith datacenter folder management workflows, you can create, delete, or rename a datacenter folder.

Virtual Machine Folder Management WorkflowsWith virtual machine folder management workflows, you can create, delete, or rename a virtual machine folder. Guest Operation Files WorkflowsWith the guest operation files workflows, you can manage files in a guest operating system. Guest Operation Processes WorkflowsWith guest operation processes workflows, you can get information and control the running processes in a guest operating system. Power Host Management WorkflowsWith power host management workflows you can reboot or shut down a host. Basic Host Management WorkflowsWith the basic host management workflows, you can put a host into maintenance mode and make a host exit maintenance mode. You can also move a host to a folder or a cluster, and reload data from a host. Host Registration Management WorkflowsWith the host registration management workflows, you can add a host to a cluster, disconnect, or reconnect a host from a cluster, and so on. Networking WorkflowsWith networking workflows you can add a port group to distributed virtual switch, create a distributed virtual switch with a port group, and so on. Distributed Virtual Port Group WorkflowsWith the distributed virtual port group workflows, you can update or delete a port group, and reconfigure the port group. Distributed Virtual Switch WorkflowsWith distributed virtual switch workflows, you can create, update or delete a distributed virtual switch, and create, delete, or update a private VLAN. Standard Virtual Switch WorkflowsWith the standard virtual switch workflows you can create, update, or delete a standard virtual switch, and create, delete, or update port groups in standard virtual switches. Networking Virtual SAN WorkflowsWith Virtual SAN workflows, you can configure Virtual SAN network traffic. Resource Pool WorkflowsWith the resource pool workflows you can create, rename, reconfigure or delete a resource pool, and get resource pool information. Storage WorkflowsWith the storage workflows, you can perform storage-related operations. Storage DRS WorkflowsWith the storage DRS workflows, you perform storage-related operations, such as creating and configuring a datastore cluster, removing a datastore from cluster, adding storage to a cluster, and others. Storage VSAN WorkflowsWith the Virtual SAN workflows, you can manage non-SSD disks and disk groups in a Virtual SAN cluster. Basic Virtual Machine Management WorkflowsWith the basic virtual machine management workflows, you can perform basic operations on virtual machines, for example, create, rename or delete a virtual machine, upgrade virtual hardware, and others. Clone WorkflowsWith clone workflows, you can clone virtual machines with or without customizing the virtual machine properties. Linked Clone WorkflowsWith the linked clone workflows, you can perform linked clone operations such as restoring a virtual machine from a linked clone, creating a linked clone, or others. Linux Customization Clone WorkflowsWith Linux customization workflows, you can clone a Linux virtual machine and customize the guest operating system. Tools Clone WorkflowsWith the tools clone workflows, you can obtain customization information about the operating system of the virtual machine, information required to update a virtual device, and others. Windows Customization Clone WorkflowsWith the Windows customization clone workflows, you can clone Windows virtual machines and customize the guest operating system. Device Management WorkflowsWith the device management workflows, you can manage the devices that are connected to a virtual machine or to a host datastore. Move and Migrate WorkflowsWith the move and migrate workflows, you can migrate virtual machines. Other workflowsWith the workflows from the Others category, you can activate and deactivate Fault Tolerance (FT), extract virtual machine information, and find orphaned virtual machines. Power Management WorkflowsWith the power management workflows, you can power on and off virtual machines, reboot the guest operating system of a virtual machine, suspend a virtual machine, and others. Snapshot WorkflowsWith snapshot workflows, you can perform snapshot-related operations. VMware Tools WorkflowsWith VMware Tools workflows, you can perform VMware Tools-related tasks on virtual machines. Parent topic: Using the vCenter plug-in
