Prerequisites

For this task, when you use the console, you need to have Smarts administrator credentials to open the Configure menu where you specify the Orchestrator credentials.

Procedure

  1. At BASEDIR/smarts/bin, type the following command: 
    ./sm_edit conf/esm/esm-param.conf
  2. Enter the following line for Orchestrator
    # If the Orchestrator is VELOCLOUD then usertype must be provided in the below format 
    VCO_USERTYPE-xx.xx.xx.xx operator|enterprise|MSP

    For Example: VCO_USERTYPE-xx.xx.xx.xx operator

  3. Restart the ESM server if it is already running to take above configuration changes into effect.
