Starting vCenter Orchestrator Service
Once you have all the coni gurations you want updated and exported, it is time to start the
actual vCenter Orchestrator engine. You can accomplish this two ways. You may wish to use
the Windows services console if you'd like to set the service to start automatically. Keep in mind
that starting the vCO Server service may take several minutes.
To start the service through the Windows services console, follow these steps:
1.
From the Start menu, choose Run.
2.
In the Run dialog box, type
services.msc
, and click OK.
3.
When the Services window opens, scroll through the list of services in the pane on the
right until you see the VMware vCenter Orchestrator Server service.
4.
Right-click the VMware vCenter Orchestrator Server service and select Start. Wait
patiently.
5.
Verify that the service started correctly by ensuring that the Status column for the
VMware vCenter Orchestrator Server service lists Started.
6.
Set the service to start automatically by right-clicking the service name and choosing
Properties.
7.
Change the startup type to Automatic.
To start the service through the vCenter Orchestrator Coni guration page, follow these steps:
