This will add Orchestrator as an additional endpoint into the vRA infrastructure. This will allow you access to plugins that are not part of the endpoints we can configure in the Adding an Orchestrator endpoint recipe in this chapter.
You need an external or internal Orchestrator as well as a user account that has Administrator rights in Orchestrator.
We are now adding Orchestrator as a vRA Infrastructure endpoint:
https://[vra FQDN]/vco
, and for an external Orchestrator it is https://[vROFQDN]/vco
. As vRA uses a proxy, you don't have to specify the port number anymore.VMware.VCenterOrchestrator.Priority
and set Value to 1
. Click on The green tick button to save this setting.
An Orchestrator endpoint lets you create additional customization and lets you use plugins that are not part of the endpoints we configured in the Adding an Orchestrator endpoint recipe in this chapter.
For some features, such as NSX, you may require an Orchestrator Infrastructure endpoint. Also see the recipe NSX integration in Chapter 11, Additional Plugins.
