Host Registration Management Workflows
With host registration management workflows, you can add a host to a cluster, disconnect or reconnect a host
from a cluster, and so on.
You can access the host management registration workflows from Library > vCenter > Host management >
Registration in the Workflows view of the Orchestrator client.
Add host to cluster
Adds a host to the cluster. This workflow fails if it cannot authenticate the SSL
certificate of the host.
Add standalone host
Registers a host as a standalone host.
Disconnect host
Disconnects a host from vCenter Server.
Reconnect host
Reconnects a disconnected host by providing only the host information.
Reconnect host with all
information
Reconnects a disconnected host by providing all information about the host.
Remove host
Removes a host and unregisters it from vCenter Server. If the host is part of a
cluster, you must put it in maintenance mode before attempting to remove it.
Networking Workflows
With networking workflows you can add a port group to distributed virtual switch, create a distributed virtual
switch with a port group, and so on.
You can access the networking workflows from Library > vCenter > Networking in the Workflows view of
the Orchestrator client.
Add port group to
distributed virtual switch
Adds a new distributed virtual port group to a specified distributed virtual
switch.
Attach host system to
distributed virtual switch
Adds a host to a distributed virtual switch.
Create distributed virtual
switch with port group
Creates a new distributed virtual switch with a distributed virtual port group.
Distributed Virtual Port Group Workflows
With distributed virtual port group workflows you can update or delete a port group, and reconfigure the port
group.
You can access the distributed virtual port group workflows from Library > vCenter > Networking >
Distributed virtual port group in the Workflows view of the Orchestrator client.
Connect virtual machine
NIC number to
distributed virtual port
group
Reconfigures the network connection of the specified virtual machine NIC
number to connect to the specified distributed virtual port group. If no NIC
number is specified, the number zero is used.
Delete distributed virtual
port group
Deletes a specified distributed virtual port group.
