Change the Default Configuration Ports on the Orchestrator Client Side
If you change the default network ports in the Orchestrator configuration interface, your changes are applied
only on the Orchestrator server side. To connect to the server with the client, you must change the configuration
of all Orchestrator client instances or connect to the server by using your Orchestrator server DNS name or IP
address followed by the new Lookup port number.
The main port to communicate with the Orchestrator server is the Lookup port. The Orchestrator client
discovers all other ports through this port. If you change the default lookup port value in the Orchestrator
configuration interface after you install the Orchestrator client instances, you can add a vmo.properties
configuration file for each Orchestrator client instance and define the new Lookup port by adding the
ch.dunes.net.jboss-server.port system property.
Prerequisites
Log in to the server where the vCenter Orchestrator Client application is installed.
Procedure
1 Navigate to the apps folder on the Orchestrator client system.
Option Action
If you installed Orchestrator with the
vCenter Server installer
Go to
install_directory
\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\apps.
If you installed the standalone
version of Orchestrator
Go to
install_directory
\VMware\Orchestrator\apps.
2 Create a file that contains the lookup port value.
ch.dunes.net.jboss-server.port=
new_lookup_port_number
3 Save the file as vmo.properties.
4 Repeat the procedure for every Orchestrator client instance.
