VMware vRealize Orchestrator Cookbook

Chapter 2. Optimizing Orchestrator Configuration

In this chapter, we will explore how to optimize the Orchestrator installation and look at the following recipes:

  • Tuning the appliance
  • Tuning Java
  • Configuring the Kerberos authentication
  • Configuring access to the local filesystem
  • Configuring the Orchestrator service SSL certificate
  • Orchestrator log files
  • Redirecting Orchestrator logs to an external server
  • Backup and recovery
  • Control Center titbits

Please also note that in the workflow package that comes with this book, there are several workflows that will configure Orchestrator.

Introduction

As in all production environments, you should consider using dedicated service accounts for connections between different services. For Orchestrator, there are several connections that we should have a look at.

The connection between Orchestrator and PSC/SSO will only be set up once with an SSO administrative user, after that Orchestrator will use the solution user.

The connection between Orchestrator and vCenter depends on how you would like to handle the role and rights management between them. You can either use one administrative connection between Orchestrator and vCenter, or choose to limit access by the role and rights of the logged-in Orchestrator user. We have already discussed this a bit in the recipe Connecting to vCenter in Chapter 1, Installing and Configuring Orchestrator and we will discuss it a bit more in the recipe User management in Chapter 7, Interacting with Orchestrator.

The connection between clients (desktops and application servers) and Orchestrator is...

Tuning the appliance

In this recipe, we will learn how to tune an Orchestrator appliance. This includes changing IP settings as well as switching off unused services to get more performance out of the appliance.

Getting ready

We need a configured and running Orchestrator appliance as well as a web browser and an SSH tool (such as PuTTY).

How to do it...

There is a lot that could be done to tune the Orchestrator appliance.

Virtual Hardware

When you deployed the Orchestrator appliance, it came in Virtual Hardware Version 7. The best thing to do is to upgrade the Virtual Hardware of the appliance to the most current version. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open the vCenter vSphere Web Client and find the Orchestrator VM.
  2. Right-click the VM and select Compatibility.
  3. If your VM is running, use Schedule VM Compatibility Upgrade, if the VM is powered off, choose Upgrade VM Compatibility.
  4. Acknowledge the upgrade and select the compatibility you wish to use. Use the highest Virtual Hardware setting.
  5. If your...

Tuning Java

This recipe shows how to increase the Java heap size so that Orchestrator performs better by making better use of the allocated memory resources.

Getting ready

First of all, we need more virtual memory allocated to the VM on which Orchestrator is running.

You also need SSH access to the appliance.

How to do it...

This how-to is for vCO 5.5 and higher, for versions 5.1 and lower please see kb.vmware.com/kb/2007423:

  1. Log in to the Linux operating system of your Orchestrator.
  2. Stop the Orchestrator service with service vco-server stop.
  3. Make a backup of the file with cp /usr/lib/vco/app-server/bin/setenv.sh /usr/lib/vco/app-server/bin/setenv.sh.bak.
  4. Type vi /usr/lib/vco/app-server/bin/setenv.sh.
  5. The vi command opens up and displays the contents of the file.
  6. Move the cursor to the line that starts with MEM_OPTS="-Xmx2048m.
  7. Press I and remove 2048. Enter your desired heap size in MB.
  8. Press Esc and then type :qw to exit and save. If you want to exit vi without saving, enter :q! instead.
  9. Start...

Configuring the Kerberos authentication

This recipe shows how to configure the Kerberos authentication with Orchestrator. The Kerberos configuration is only needed for special plugins, such as PowerShell.

Getting ready

We just need administrative access to the Orchestrator operating system. You need to make sure that the clocks are in sync between Orchestrator and the KDC. See the Tuning the appliance recipe in this chapter. The domain in this example is called mylab.local and the AD server (KDC) is called central.mylab.local.

How to do it...

  1. Log in to the Orchestrator operating system with root.
  2. Edit the /usr/java/jre-vmware/lib/security/krb5.conf file. You might have to create this file.
  3. Add the following lines to the file. In the following example, replace mylab.local with your domain settings. Make sure that you use the same case as in the example:
          [libdefaults] 
         default_realm = MYLAB.LOCAL 
        ...

Configuring access to the local filesystem

Here, you will learn how to set permissions for Orchestrator to access its local filesystem and make an external filesystem accessible to Orchestrator.

Getting ready

We need administrative access to the operating system of Orchestrator.

How to do it...

There are two ways to give Orchestrator access to its local filesystem.

Fast and easy

Orchestrator already has full access to the folder /var/run/vco and can read and write from it. You can place files there via SCP for Orchestrator to use or have Orchestrator write files into that directory.

Configuring access

If you need to access additional folders on the appliance then follow these steps:

  1. Connect to the Orchestrator appliance via SSH and root.
  2. Make sure that the directory you would like to use with Orchestrator is accessible for the Orchestrator user. The user or group should be vco.
  3. Edit the following file /etc/vco/app-server/js-io-rights.conf.
  4. To give Orchestrator access to a directory, simply add...

Configuring the Orchestrator service SSL certificate

In this recipe, we will have a closer look at the SSL certificate of the Orchestrator server.

Getting ready

You need a running Orchestrator server.

If you are intending to use an SSL certificate signed by a Certificate Authority (CA), you need to be able to sign a certificate request. You also need the CA root certificate, as well as any intermediate certificate, so that you can import it into the Orchestrator SSL store.

If you are creating a clustered vRO, please see the recipe Load-balancing Orchestrator in Chapter 3, Distributed Design first.

How to do it...

There are basically two kinds of certificates we can use, self-signed or CA-signed.

Self-signed certificates

When you installed vRO, a self-signed certificate has been created, but you are free to create a new one containing your details:

  1. Open the Orchestrator Control Center.
  2. Click on Certificates and select Orchestrator Server SSL Certificate.
  3. You will then see the current certificate.
  4. Click...

Orchestrator log files

In this recipe, we will have a closer look at the Orchestrator log file. Where they are and how to configure them.

Getting ready

You need access to the Orchestrator Control Center.

You also need SSH root access to the Orchestrator appliance. See the recipe Tuning the appliance in this chapter.

How to do it...

As log files are a bigger theme, this section is split up into multiple parts.

Server log in Control Center

The server log can be directly shown in the Control Center:

  1. Login to Control Center.
  2. Click on Live Log Stream. The server log is then shown.
  3. Entering a search string into the Search window will trigger a highlighting function.
  4. Click on Filter (grep) to only show entries that contain the search string.
  5. Use View full screen to show the log in full-screen mode.

    Server log in Control Center

Configuring the server log with the Control Center

We will now configure the server log behavior:

  1. Login to Control Center.
  2. Click on Configure Logs.
  3. The Log level defines the log level threshold. You select which log...

Redirecting Orchestrator logs to an external server

In this recipe, we will configure the Orchestrator server to send all logs to a centralized Syslog server. This is especially important when using Orchestrator clusters.

Getting ready

You need a Syslog server or a vRealize Log Insight Server as a target.

You may also need access to the Orchestrator appliance OS (SSH).

vRealize Log Insight

When you buy vSphere, you also get licensing for Log Insight for 25 hosts.

If you are using vRealize Log Insight then you should also consider downloading the vRO7 package. You can find some details here:

http://blogs.vmware.com/management/2016/04/vrealize-orchestrator-7-0-content-pack-log-insight.html .

We are now configuring Log Insight to access Orchestrator:

  1. Log into the vRealize Log Insight website.
  2. Click in the upper right corner and select Content Packs.
  3. Select the VMware - Orchestrator content pack:

    vRealize Log Insight

  4. Tick the install tickbox and then on Install.

How to do it...

The redirection of Syslog became much easier...
