Accessing the vRealize Orchestrator Configurator Service in vRealize Automation 7.x

In vRealize Automation 7.x, the vRealize Orchestrator Configurator service is not automatically started by default. This means that in order to access the Configuration interface, you must manually start the service after deployment. In this blog post, we will go over the steps to start the vRealize Orchestrator Configurator service and access the Configuration interface in vRealize Automation 7.x.

Step 1: Log into the vRealize Automation Appliance

To start the vRealize Orchestrator Configurator service, you must first log into the vRealize Automation appliance using a Secure Shell client such as PuTTY. To do this, open PuTTY and enter the IP address or FQDN of the vRealize Automation appliance in the Host Name field. Then, select Open to connect to the appliance.

Step 2: Verify the Status of the vRealize Orchestrator Configurator Service

Once you are logged into the appliance, run the following command to verify the status of the vRealize Orchestrator Configurator service:

“`

sudo vco-ctl status

“`

If the service reports “off”, proceed to the next step. If the service is already running, you can skip this step and go directly to Step 3.

Step 3: Enable Automatic Restart of the vRealize Orchestrator Configurator Service

To enable automatic restart of the vRealize Orchestrator Configurator service when the appliance is rebooted, run the following command:

“`

sudo vco-ctl set-service –name=vro-configurator –state=started –restart=true

“`

This will ensure that the service is automatically restarted whenever the appliance is rebooted.

Step 4: Start the vRealize Orchestrator Configurator Service

To start the vRealize Orchestrator Configurator service immediately, run the following command:

“`

sudo vco-ctl start –name=vro-configurator

“`

Once the service is started successfully, you can access the configurator service at the URL below and log in using the root username and password.

Note: If you are running multiple vRealize Automation appliances in a cluster, ensure you run these steps on all appliances to ensure consistent configuration.

Conclusion

In this blog post, we have covered the steps to start the vRealize Orchestrator Configurator service and access the Configuration interface in vRealize Automation 7.x. By following these steps, you can ensure that your vRealize Automation deployment is properly configured and ready for use.
