Using vRealize Orchestrator

By using vRO with ASM integration, you can perform the following actions:

• Add a new ASM Appliance object to the vRO inventory

• Deploy a new service to vRA

• Add a server to an existing service

• Teardown a service with selected resource types

Adding a New ASM Appliance Object to vRO Inventory

For using ASM vRO plugin, the best way is to utilize the vRO workflows which are packaged with the

plugin. The following instruction explains how to add an ASM Appliance object to the vRO inventory:

1. Add ASM Appliance workflow from the Configuration Workflows folder on the left pane, then click

the Start workflow button on the right pane.

2. Enter the values for the name and the server URL under Common Parameter. Either enable or disable

the setting to trust all SSL certificates from the server.

3. Click Next, and set the values for the authentication domain (ASMLOCAL by default), username and

password.

4. Click Submit.

The workflow should run successfully. To validate whether the configuration has been added or not,

go to the Resources view, expand the folders and locate the new resource item.

5. Select the Viewer tab to cross-check the values that were used as input parameters for the workflow.

The password is encrypted.

The user should be able to see the inventory objects for this ASM appliance server. Any templates or

services already present in the ASM environment are also displayed.

Deploy a New Service to vRO

After adding the ASMAppliance object as a vRO resource, you can start running the workflow to deploy

and update Services. In this example, the following steps describe how to deploy a new Service using

vRO.

1. In run mode, click Workflows view, navigate Library → Dell Acive System Manager → Sample

Workflow → Synchronous → Deploy Service → Start Workflow (which allow vRO workflows to call

ASM for infrastructure).

NOTE: The Synchronous workflow is used for demonstration.
