Configure the Connection to a View Pod
You run the Add View Pod workflow to provide the appropriate credentials for all workflow operations to
be performed by the View Connection Server instance.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the fully qualified domain name of the View Connection Server instance can be resolved
from the machine where the Orchestrator server is running.
n
Verify that you have administrator credentials for the Orchestrator server. The account must be a
member of the vRealize Orchestrator Admin group configured to authenticate through vCenter Single
Sign-On.
n
Verify that you have the credentials of a user that has the View Administrators role. The users and
groups that have the View Administrators role were specified in View Administrator when the View
Connection Server instance was installed and set up.
Procedure
1 Log in to Orchestrator as an administrator.
2 Click the Workflows view in Orchestrator.
3 In the workflows hierarchical list, select Library > Horizon > Configuration > View Pod Configuration
and navigate to the Add View Pod in Configuration workflow.
4 Right-click the Add View Pod in Configuration workflow and select Start workflow.
5 Provide a name for the pod.
6 Provide the fully qualified domain name of the machine on which the View Connection Server instance
is installed.
7 Provide the credentials of a user that has the View Administrators role.
8 Verify and accept the SSL certificate information.
9 Click Submit to run the workflow.
After the workflow runs, you can click the expander button to see the status.
What to do next
Add a delegated administrator.
Updating View Pod Connection Information
If the user credentials for a View Connection Server instance change, or if the members of a replicated group
of View Connection Server instances change, you must run the corresponding workflow in
vRealize Orchestrator.
You can navigate to the folder that contains these workflows by using the Orchestrator Client and going to
Library > Horizon > Configuration > View Pod Configuration.
n
If the credentials for the View Connection Server instance ever change, run the Update View Pod
Credential Configuration workflow.
n
If the names of the servers or the number of instances in the pod changes, run the Refresh View Pod
Connection Server List workflow.
