Syntax

Description

The Add-vROvCenterServer cmdlet invokes the workflow in VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator to add a vCenter Server. The cmdlet connects to SDDC Manager using the -server, -user, -password, and -domain values to return the workload domain vCenter Server details from its inventory and then:

  • Makes a connection to the Cloud Extensibility Proxy VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator instance using the -apiToken.
  • Verifies the workflow exists.
  • Adds the vCenter Server instance using the -serviceAccount and -servicePassword values.

Examples

Example 1

Add-CEPvCenterServer -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -domain sfo-w01 -apiToken <string> -environment staging -extensibilityProxy sfo-vmc-cep01.sfo.rainpole.io -serviceAccount svc-vro-vsphere@sfo.rainpole.io -servicePassword VMw@re1!

This example adds the vCenter Server instance from the "sfo-w01" workload domain to the Cloud Extensibility Proxy VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator instance.
