Hi,

Can some one help me with powercli script to call API to initiate VM deletion workflow in VRO, it has to take list of VM's input from CSV file.

Thanks in advance.

We're getting started with Orchestrator and have identified a need to track our last SQL backups. We've got the query to pull the info and have a test workflow created that is executing successfully and retrieving several rows of data. How do we import the data from the the workflow to create a dashboard or report in vROPS?

We're currently using VRA 8 and vROPS 8. VMware vRealize Orchestrator Mgmt pack 3.1.14 is also installed.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have a need for a scheduled task/cron job on the vRO server to reach out to an external system using cURL, retrieve a value and write it to a configuration element.

I know you can update resource elements in this manner. Does anyone know if it can be done for configuration elements?

Many thanks,

Has anybody written the code for secure mail in order to send password to users over mail ??

is there any plugin or workflows available for the same ?

Hi,

I am working with scripting objects in vRO. 

In a presentation to prefill objects -> I call a scripting object -> which calls a VSO method in a VSO object. 

Now inside my VSO method, I use REST to fetch some details and wrap them in a Scripting object. With each of these Objects I associate a unique idAccessor. 

Now, my problem is, VRO is making huge number of calls to PluginFactory to fetch these scripting objects. Every time I need to make a corresponding REST API call as well to return the same instance of the object.

Say, I have a predefined list of 1000 Scripting objects, this transforms in 1000 x 2 (atleast, at times even more) calls to PluginFactory!! == 2000 API calls in 1 field of a workflow!!!

Is there any way we can eliminate this or I could get away with the REST API call? What are the best practices with idAccessor? 

Thanks

I am wondering if there is a way to tell in a VRO Scriptable task whether the previous item had an error, or if it was a success.

I have an extremely complex workflow.  I also have 2 VRO clusters set up, which I keep in sync through packages, or just the built in synchronize functionality.  With this particularly complex workflow, it has gotten to the point where I can no longer synchronize.  I'm currently using 7.5, and so its the Java client.  In order to synchronize this workflow, today I had to use the jnlp instead of the installed client, and I had to edit the jnlp file to adjust the heap size from the default 1024m (I could only go as high as 1332m, otherwise the client would never launch fully).

One problem I have that I think would help this issue to some extent, is that I try to keep track of errors encountered during the workflow, and update a checklist with the success/failure of the various steps.  In order to facilitate this right now, after each action/sub workflow I have a branch: I go to a "System + Server error" step if the step ended in error, and a scriptable task if it ended in success, I log everything appropriately, and then converge back to the next step

I could get rid of a lot of workflow elements if I could just have a scriptable task that knows the exit status of the previous element.  One idea for this is to write the errors to a variable, which I would then process, and null out during the scriptable task; but I was hoping there was something more native that could tell me the exit status/which path the previous step came down.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi All,

I am new to developing workflows, I have a requirement to create a workflow to list all the snapshot files which are older than a month residing in a NAS datastore. Could someone kindly let me know how which components to use in coding part

Hi,

I have a workflow to find out how many VM's are in poweredOff state. VC has more than 7000 VM's and the workflow takes lot of time to produce the result as it has to loop through each of these 7000 VM's to find those VM's which are in powered off state.

So just wondering if there is any other way to achieve the result much quicker.

var vms = VcPlugin.getAllVirtualMachines()
var poffvms = 0
for each (vm in vms){
if (vm.runtime.powerState.value == "poweredOff"){
poffvms = poffvms + 1
}
}
System.log(poffvms);

I was using the vcenter MOB browser to help me find what I needed for host networking and whenI tried to use it it vro, the values I got didn't match what the MOB browser showed.

For a VcHostSystem called host I found what I wanted here:

host.configManager.networkSystem.networkInfo.proxySwitch

I had 3 items in the MOB browser but when I ran a for each loop against it I was only getting two items. When I did a .length against it I was getting a value of 2 instead of 3.

I found the same proxySwitch via this path:

host.config.network.proxySwitch

This network section seems to be about the same as the one above but using this version of proxySwitch I was getting my 3 objects and .length returned 3.

I thought that maybe I needed to trigger the refreshNetworkSystem() method to get the right info but that didn't help.

In the end I just changed to the config.network.proxySwitch path but why would I see the correct info in the MOB but vro returns only partial info? Is there a timer where I need to wait x number of minutes before I get the correct data?

Hello Community,

I have a "little problem" with time configuration in vRO 8.0.1.

I configured the Appliance as follows:

root@vrotest [ / ]# vracli ntp status

vrotest.test.dom:

----------------------------------

systemd configuration:

      Local time: Tue 2020-03-10 13:59:59 CET

  Universal time: Tue 2020-03-10 12:59:59 UTC

        RTC time: Tue 2020-03-10 12:59:59

       Time zone: Europe/Berlin (CET, +0100)

Network time on: yes

NTP synchronized: yes

RTC in local TZ: no

----------------------------------

eSXi NTP configuration: disabled

----------------------------------

I test with a tiny workflow to check the date/time:

Input:

so far so good. 03/10/2020 2:07 PM

Variables in the workflow run:

still okay, seems to be CET ;D

Logs:

Time is now in GMT?!

Do you have any idea whats going wrong here?

many thanks in advance!

I am recieving a 406 error when executing a GET against the vRA 8 REST API.

When executing in POSTman I get a response in JSON and I have set the default content type.

I am passing the bearer token in the headers string array variable and it seems to be accepted.

The 406 error suggests a not acceptable from the sever - what format should the header be in with the bearer token?

Hi,

How do we declare/create Array of Virtual machines parameter in javascript code (instead of creating it as input or output paramater in VRO).

Please help.

Hi Community,

actually I am validating vRO 8.0.1 for a test environment.

I imported and configured the appliance and can access the client and the Control Center as expected.

So far, so good. When using the configured DNS Alias, I get a 404 page not found

Is there any additional configuration to do?

Many thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Dex

Hello all,

has anyone had similar issues/knows how to fix the issue ? I want to try out the new orchestrator, i have a tiny lab 2 hosts + 1 vcenter 6.7.

I am deploying vRO via ova, answered all the questions, used fqdn, right ip/dns/mask etc, i can login to vRO machine, it can resolve via name/ip vc/esx/vro.

If i open the vRO website i get: 'bad gateway', when i login to the vro box itself i see that vco container is not running, any idea how to go from here?

Installed from O11N_VA-8.0.1.7355-15296158_OVF10.ova  i  installed it from extracted ova as well, same result.

appliance console look:

All i did is just deploy from ova nothing more. i also did the same thing at different environment but i deployed it to VC 6.0 and it worked there, i don't see any reason why it should not work deployed to 6.7 build 10244857

i have completely now i idea how to troubleshoot it, i found /var/log/containers and i can correlate those logs to containers name

the containers that are in failed state last lines of logs

I have another 8.0.1 running in different environment and it looks like there is something wrong with tou /data/vco mount

Left is working 8.0.1 installation (1-2 days old, also fresh) and right one is the one that is failing.

Hello,

is this supposed to work, to have Orchestrator plugin running on webclint in VC 6.0 having vRO 8.0.1 ? I did as per documentation:

Configure vRealize Orchestrator Plugin for vSphere Web Client

Uploded the plugin into 8.0.1 appliance

root@vrz-p-vro001 [ /data/vco/usr/lib/vco/downloads ]# ls -l

total 15580

-rw-r--r-- 1 kube docker 8891510 Dec 11 11:03 migration-tool.zip

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   7025307 Mar 13 09:35 vco-plugin.zip

drwxr-xr-x 6 kube docker    4096 Mar  9 16:03 vco-repo

I did run the workflow to register it

I have rebooted the VC 6.0, and the plugin is not working in webclient Flex/Html.

I checked interoperability matrix, it says that is is supported to have 8.0.1 and vc 6.0

Any idea what i am doing wrong?

I also gave it a try on VCSA 6.7 appliance (psc+vc simple installation).

What i dont understand is why this is getting inside the plugin urlo 10.244.0.xxx , in field  when running register webclient workflow External address to advertise this Orchestrator.

This 10.244.0.XXX is the container ip .

I tried now with https://FQDN  no ports etc. just fqdn

Now the when i login with flex client i see a change, i see the orchestrator icon but nothing is inside

So i am stuck again, And this is on 6.7 VCSA appliance, not 6.0 windows.

while on VC console i can execute

wget https://vro.infralab.local/vco/vsphere-web-client/vco-plugin.zip --no-check-certificate

and plugin zip is being downloaded

Is this supposed to work with flex client  ? The plugin is not visible in html5 client at all (anyone else has it there?)

Hi,

When creating the workflow, it adds an "action element". It gives it actions, e.g. createAdminOrgParams, thanks to which I have some input data that I can use. I create a variable for the name from this level.

The variable that is created in the previous step appears where type is an upper letter.

In Input form, it is not possible to enter text after adding a field.

When you change the variable type from upper case to lower case, the variable disappears from configuration „action element”

In case the variable type is a capital letter, the workflow does not work. In case the variable type is lowercase, it is not visible in the element configuration.

Somebody has known where is the problem?

Hello,

can anyone check what i am doing wrong ? I want to test if my newly installed vro can receive snmp traps. Steps i have taken:

1. Install vro 8.0.1

2. Auth via vc sso

3.Added a device (192.168.1.97) - my laptop

4.Ran workflow - Wait for a trap on all devices , wait for a trap on a snmp device(pointing to my laptop , port 4000).

When reunning wait for a trap o nall devices i am assuming that is awaiting for a trap on port 4000 as this is the default, when running via a snamp device i have sent snmp device port 4000, public.

i run from my laptop:

C:\SnmpTrapGen>SnmpTrapGen.exe -r:192.168.1.150 -t:10 -c:"public" -to:.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 -p:4000 -v:2c

SnmpTrapGen v1.1 - Copyright (C) 2009 SnmpSoft Company

[ More useful network tools on http://www.snmpsoft.com ]

OK

The workflow is still waiting.

I have also ran a python script directly from the vRO 8.0.1 appliance itself

root@vro [ ~ ]# cat sendsnmptolocalvro4000.py

from pysnmp.hlapi import *

from pysnmp import debug

debug.setLogger(debug.Debug('msgproc'))

next(sendNotification(SnmpEngine(),

     CommunityData('public'),

     UdpTransportTarget(('192.168.1.150', 4000)),

     ContextData(),

     'trap',

     # sequence of custom OID-value pairs

     [ObjectType(ObjectIdentity('1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0'), OctetString('my string')),

      ObjectType(ObjectIdentity('1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0'), Integer32(42))]))

Also nothing happens. The workflow is not being interrupted in anyway, indicating that he has received the trap.

I have set up a trap receiver on other node in the network and those 2 script are sending it ok. from vRO appliance the python script can trigger the trap on my windows machine running snmpb.

Any idea if i have missed anything ? I checked 2 books, few tutorials and i think i am doing exactly what others but its just not working. Firewall is not the case since the python is even running locally from the vRO + its flat home network , no fw/gw.

I can send snmp trap from vRO to my laptop snmpb

I have also configured vcenter vc01.greg.labs to send snmp traps to the VRO + my laptop with snmpb

VC alarm is triggered when VM is created. IT sents 1 trap to my laptop +1 trap to vRO. And VRO is not handling it .

vRO trap host configured with port 4000 and is listening

Trap Host (Online)

Edit: I have also deployed vRO 7.6, same config, everything 1:1 as in 8.0.1 case , and here it worked all as expected, waiting for traps on 4000 port, and i have generated one from my laptop using snmptrapgen and workflow has triggered (listen for snmp trap on all devices). So is there something i should know about 8.0.1 ? Some extra steps in order to configure it ? Are we supposed to use 8.0.1 ?

Question :

Can't get exporting content to work from an embeded vro using mvn.  Is there any updates on how to use this?

I've just started looking at vRO v8.0.1, specifically at the tagging of workflows.

How does this affect the working of Server.getConfigurationElementCategoryWithPath?

In our workflows we've made extensive use of this in the package we've developed, for example, we instruct a user to duplicate a configuration element then run a workflow to configure the element's attributes (they select the target element from a drop-down), this no longer works.

I'm guessing this will simply no longer work with v8 (or is my issue that a web-root tag is also created)? What's the alternative?
