Configure the Default vRealize Orchestrator
If you have congured more than one Orchestrator server to work with a vCenter Server instance that is
connected with your vSphere Web Client, you must congure the default Orchestrator server to use with the
vCenter Server instance.
You cannot run workows on the objects in a vCenter Server instance if it is not added as a vCenter Server
host to the Orchestrator server.

Log in as a member of the Administrators group to be able to congure the default Orchestrator server.
Procedure
1 Log in to the vSphere Web Client.
2 In the object navigator, click vRealize Orchestrator.

vCenter Server and the Orchestrator server that manages it.
4 Right-click a row of the table with the available vCenter Server instances and select Edit .

Managing Associations of Workflows with vSphere Inventory Objects
If you want to see more workows displayed in the pop-up menu when you right-click a vSphere inventory
object, and run these workows on more object types, you can associate workows with the dierent
vSphere object types.
You can add and edit associations, as well as export and import XML les containing the associations of
workows with vSphere objects.
Workows associated with inventory object types are listed in the pop-up menu that appears when you
right-click the inventory objects and in the Actions menu.
Only users from the Orchestrator Administrator group have the rights to manage the associations of
workows with vSphere inventory objects.
Associate Workflows with vSphere Inventory Object Types
You can associate workows with a vSphere object type to run the workows directly on the inventory
objects of that type.
Workows associated with inventory object types are listed in the pop-up menu that appears when you
right-click an inventory object, and in the Actions menu.
