Objective Overview
Objective 6.1: Configure Advanced Service Designer
- Determine the appropriate vRO server deployment according to a deployment plan
- Assign the Service Architect role to a user or group
- Configure an external vRO server to run workflows
- Create a vCO endpoint to enable vRA to communicate with an external vRO server
- Configure advanced endpoints in ASD (vCenter, AD, SOAP, REST, PowerShell)
Objective Prerequisites
The following prerequisites are assumed for this Objective:
- A fully deployed vRealize Automation Solution (See Objective 1).
Objective Breakdown
Determine the appropriate vRO server deployment according to a deployment plan
I believe this Topic is talking about whether to use the embedded vRO, a single External vRO (Windows or Appliance) or a External vRO Cluster.
Whilst the recommendation has changed in vRealize Automation 7.x. I believe the general recommendation in vRealize Automation 6.x was to use an External Orchestrator in anything but POC or Development environments.
Whether you need a vRealize Orchestrator 6 Cluster or a Standalone Server comes down to the availability and the number of concurrent workflows you would like to run.
Also, within a true multi-tenant environment (where the tenants are different organizations) from a security separation point of view, I don’t think Orchestrator Folders are going to cut it, so a vRO instance per tenant would be the recommendation.
Obviously the Appliance is always preferred over the Windows version!
Assign the Service Architect role to a user or group
I believe I have sufficiently covered the topic of assigning a Role to AD Users, AD Groups and Custom Groups in Objective 2.1
Configure an external vRO server to run workflows
I believe I have sufficiently covered the topic of configuring an External vRO Server in HOWTO: Deploy the vRealize Orchestrator 6.x Appliance for vRealize Automation . Specifically Step 8 which is Configure vRealize Automation to use an External Orchestrator
Create a vCO endpoint to enable vRA to communicate with an external vRO server
I believe I have sufficiently covered the topic of configuring an External vRO Server in HOWTO: Deploy the vRealize Orchestrator 6.x Appliance for vRealize Automation . Specifically Step 9 is Create an Orchestrator Endpoint in vRealize Automation.
Configure Advanced Endpoints in ASD (vCenter, AD, SOAP, REST, PowerShell)
