Configuring the
vCloud Automation Center Plug-In 2
You add vCloud Automation Center hosts and IaaS hosts to configure the plug-in.
Configuration Workflows
You can use the workflows in the Configuration workflow categories to manage
vCloud Automation Center hosts.
vCloud Automation Center Hosts
You can access these workflows from the Workflows view of the Orchestrator client, in the Configuration
subdirectory of the plug-in library.
Workflow Name Description
Add a vCAC host Adds a vCloud Automation Center host to the plug-in inventory. For tenant management
and administration tasks, you can use the Inventory view to run workflows on each tenant.
To use the full function of the plug-in for a tenant, create a dedicated
vCloud Automation Center host for each tenant.
Add a vCAC host using
component registry
Adds a vCloud Automation Center host to the plug-in inventory with a Per User Session
connection. You must be logged in to the Orchestrator client with the credentials of the
vCloud Automation Center system administrator.
To use this function with an external vCenter Orchestrator server, you must register the
Orchestrator server in the vCloud Automation Center component registry. To do this
registration, you must run the Register vCO in vCAC Component Registry workflow and
restart the Orchestrator server.
Add the IaaS host of a
vCAC host
Adds the IaaS host of the selected vCloud Automation Center host to the plug-in inventory.
Remove a vCAC host Removes a vCloud Automation Center host from the plug-in inventory.
Update a vCAC host Updates a vCloud Automation Center host in the plug-in inventory.
Validate a vCAC host Validates the vCloud Automation Center host and the connection to it.
NOTE If your vCenter Orchestrator server is registered in the vCloud Automation Center component
registry, a vCloud Automation Center host with the name Default is automatically added. The Default host
is using Per User Session connection to the default tenant. The embedded Orchestrator server in the
vCloud Automation Center installation is registered in the vCloud Automation Center component registry
by default.
vCloud Automation Center IaaS Hosts
You can access these workflows from the Workflows view of the Orchestrator client, in the Infrastructure
Administration > Configuration subdirectory of the plug-in library.
