You configure multiple Orchestrator servers to work with a vCenter Server instance that is connected to your vSphere Client. A default Orchestrator server is automatically configured to work with the vCenter Server instance, unless you configure one manually. Otherwise, a default Orchestrator server is automatically selected.

Prerequisites

Verify that you have configured at least one Orchestrator server to work with the same Single Sign-On instance to which vCenter Server is pointing. You must also ensure that Orchestrator is registered as a vCenter Server extension. You register Orchestrator as a vCenter Server extension when you specify a user account that has the necessary privileges to manage vCenter Serverextensions. For more information, see Installing and Configuring VMware vRealize Orchestrator.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the vSphere Client as a member of the Administrators group.
  2. In the object navigator, click vRealize Operations.
  3. In the Manage tab, click the Servers subtab.
    A table appears that lists the available vCenter Server instances. Each row of the table contains a vCenter Server and the Orchestrator server that manages it.
  4. Click Edit configuration.
  5. In the Edit vRealize Orchestrator connections dialog box, select the default Orchestrator server to manage your vCenter Server instance.
    • Select the Fixed IP/host name option and enter the IP address of the Orchestrator server.
    • Select the Registered as VC extension option and from the drop-down menu, select the URL address of the Orchestrator server.
  6. Click OK.

Results

You successfully configured a default vRealize Orchestrator server in the vSphere Client.
