Automating vRealize Automation with vRealize Orchestrator

AC.

To enable vRealize Orchestrator (vRO) to automate items in vRealize Automation (vRA), including aspects of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), the following two items need to be done:

1. Add a vRA host to vRO using the workflow

   • To do this, navigate to the vRO client and open the "Add a vRealize Automation host" workflow, which is located in the "Library" tab under "vRealize Automation".
   • Follow the prompts and enter the required information, including the vRA host's URL, username, and password.
   • Once the workflow has completed successfully, the vRA host will be added to vRO, and you will be able to automate items in vRA.

2. Add a vRO endpoint in vRA

   • To do this, log in to the vRA console as an administrator and navigate to "Infrastructure" -> "Endpoints" -> "Endpoints".
   • Click "New" to create a new endpoint, and select "vRealize Orchestrator" as the endpoint type.
   • Enter the vRO server's URL, username, and password, and click "Save".
   • Once the endpoint has been created, vRA will be able to communicate with vRO, and you will be able to automate items in vRA, including aspects of IaaS.

Option A and B are not correct, as adding an IaaS host to vRO using the workflow and editing the plug-in interface to add the vRA host information alone will not enable vRO to automate items in vRA.
