In this recipe, we will look at the vAPI plugin that comes with vSphere 6.
This recipe is broken up into two parts just work though them in sequence.
We will now create a vCenter vAPI endpoint and import the metadata:
Run the workflow Library | VAPI | Add vAPI Endpoint.
The vAPI endpoint is the
https://[FDQN
vCenter]/api
.Using SSL is always a good idea.
If you are using self-signed certificates you can import them without warnings.
Use a user that will be the connection between Orchestrator and vCenter:
We now need to import the metamodel of the vAPI endpoint. Run the workflow Library | VAPI | import vAPI metamodel.
The inputs are the same as with adding the endpoint.
