3 In a text editor, create a file that contains the lookup port value.
ch.dunes.net.jboss-server.port=
new_lookup_port_number
4 Save the file as vmo.properties.
5 Repeat the procedure for every Orchestrator client instance.
You can connect to the Orchestrator server by using the Orchestrator client without adding the lookup port
number to the Orchestrator server DNS name or IP address.
Uninstall a Plug-In
You can disable an Orchestrator plug-in from the Plug-ins tab, but this does not remove the plug-in file from
the file system. To remove the plug-in file, you must log in to the machine on which the Orchestrator server is
installed and remove the plug-in file manually.
Procedure
1 Log in as an administrator to the machine on which the Orchestrator server is installed.
2 Navigate to the Orchestrator installation folder.
Option Action
If you installed Orchestrator with the
vCenter Server installer
Go to
install_directory
\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-
server\server\vmo\plugins.
If you installed the standalone
version of Orchestrator
Go to
install_directory
\VMware\Orchestrator\app-
server\server\vmo\plugins.
3 Delete the .dar archive that contains the plug-in to remove.
4 Restart the vCenter Orchestrator Configuration service.
The plug-in is removed from the Orchestrator configuration interface.
5 Log in to the Orchestrator client.
6 Click the Packages view.
7 Right-click the package to delete, and select Delete element with content.
NOTE Orchestrator elements that are locked in the read-only state, for example workflows in the standard
library, are not deleted.
You removed all custom workflows and actions, policies, Web views, configurations, settings, and resources
that the plug-in contains.
Activate the Service Watchdog Utility
Orchestrator provides a watchdog utility that checks whether the Orchestrator server service is running. The
utility pings the Orchestrator server service periodically, and restarts it if a certain timeout period is exceeded.
By default, the watchdog utility is deactivated.
You can activate the service watchdog utility by setting the timeout period for the service's response to the
ping from the utility. You can set the timeout period for the response from the Orchestrator server service in
the wrapper.conf configuration file. The wrapper.conf file defines the wrapping of the Orchestrator server in
the host system.
