c Type an integer greater than or equal to 1 in the Value text box.
Lower value means higher priority.
d
Click the Save icon ( ).
7 Click OK.
8 From the Endpoints column, point to the vRealize Orchestrator endpoint and click Data Collection
from the drop-down menu.
The data collection process takes 2-3 minutes to check whether the associated NSX plug-in is
installed on this endpoint.
9 Verify that you receive a status message that confirms the data collection process for the
vRealize Orchestrator endpoint is successful.
What to do next
Create a networking solution endpoint. See Create a vSphere Endpoint for Networking and Security
Virtualization.
Create a vSphere Endpoint for Networking and Security
Virtualization
An IaaS administrator creates an instance of a vSphere endpoint to allow vRealize Automation to interact
with a vCloud Networking and Security or NSX instance.
For a vSphere endpoint in vRealize Automation, all of the NSX related networking operations for that
endpoint must be completed on the same vRealize Orchestrator server.
You can optimize this solution for audit and troubleshooting by creating a service account on vSphere and
vCloud Networking and Security or NSX so that a clear audit trail can be traced back to
vRealize Automation.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as an IaaS administrator.
n
Verify that a system administrator installed a vCloud Networking and Security or NSX instance, and
that it is accessible.
n
Verify that an IaaS administrator created a vSphere endpoint. The vSphere server targeted by the
endpoint must be configured to communicate with the vCloud Networking and Security or NSX
instance.
n
Verify that an IaaS administrator created credentials for the vCloud Networking and Security or NSX
management console to be used as the endpoint. These credentials can be the same ones used for
logging in to vSphere.
