Loss of Server Logs
You might experience loss of logs if you use the vmo.bat file to restart the Orchestrator server.
Problem
If you start the Orchestrator server as a service and you then restart the Orchestrator server by running the
vmo.bat file directly, you can experience a potential loss of logs.
Cause
Logs can be lost if you start the Orchestrator server as a service and restart it by using the vmo.bat. This behavior
can cause the server to run with different permissions.
Solution
1 Right-click My Computer on your desktop and select Manage.
2 In the Computer Management dialog box, expand Services and Applications and select Services.
3 In the right pane, right-click and select VMware vCenter Orchestrator Server > Restart.
Maintaining the Orchestrator Database
After your Orchestrator database instance and Orchestrator server are installed and operational, perform
standard database maintenance processes.
Maintaining your Orchestrator database involves several tasks:
n
Monitoring the growth of the log file and compacting the database log file, as needed. See the
documentation for the database type that you are using.
n
Scheduling regular backups of the database.
n
Backing up the database before you upgrade Orchestrator. See your database documentation for
information about backing up your database.
