vCO Appliance Powershell Plugin

[Sirry]

I have set up a powershell server using the following webpage:

vCO PowerShell plug-in | VMware vCenter Orchestrator Blog - VMware Blogs

I am able to run the final winrm identify command on my desktop (not powershell server). Howeve,r I get a nullpointer exception when I try to add the pwoershell host to vCO. I realize this may be due to the fact that my vCO is a (Linux) appliance. Is there a guide somewhere may detail how to set this up correctly?

The procedure for setting up the PowerShell support in vCO Appliance is not that different than the one under Windows. There are some difference when it comes to configuring kerberos support. I guess for now you are trying to configure basic authentication and those differences should be irrelevant.

Could you provide more information about :

1. The error you reciecve (Probably attaching server.log file)

2. The parameters used to invoke Add a PowerShell host workflow

Regards, Ivo

i have tried two things, both which give the same error:

1. The standard Add a PowerShell host

2. A script that tries to mimic:

"actionResult=System.getModule("com.vmware.library.powershell.configuration").addPowerShellHost(name,type,hostName,transportProtocol,port,username,password,sessionMode) ;"

The script is as follows with modified hostName/URL, username and password:

(Start)

var host = new PowerShellHostConfig() ;

host.name = "us-posh";

host.type = "WinRM";

host.connectionURL = "172.16.100.11";

host.transportProtocol = "HTTP"

host.port = "5985";

host.username = "Administrator";

host.password = "password";

host.autorizationMode = PowerShellAutorizationMode.fromString("Shared Session")

host = PowerShellHostManager.update(host);

(End)

The log a few seconds before the event until after the failure (using option #2) is as follows:

I still don't see how those directions in the blog can be followed directly for the vCO appliance... for example the following commands won't work too well on a vCO appliance since it is Linux based:

• Run the following command to allow transfer of unencrypted data on the WinRM client.
  c:\> winrm set winrm/config/client @{AllowUnencrypted="true"}
• [Updated] Run the following command to enable winrm connections from vCO host.
  c:\> winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts ="vco_host"}
• Run the following command to test the connection to the WinRM service.

Sirry,

those commands would be used on the Windows host you wish to connect via WinRM.  I only use the Appliance of vCO and can confirm that the PowerShell plug-in works great on it.  I have a workflow that configures a Windows virtual machine for WinRM.  I will try to clean it up and post it later.

[Sirry]

Thank you, jc.

I can't wait!

[jcp0wermac]

I tested it to make sure it still works no issues.  The only caveat I would like to make clear, there is no encryption enabled so probably should only be used in a test environment.

Output from workflow:

[Sirry]

Thank you for the solution. It unfortunately did not work for me and returned the same error at the same spot (nullpointer exception during the Add Powershell host function [last step]).

I am wondering what other gotchas there might be... perhaps my authentication is incorrectly set somewhere? or there might be a conflicting plugin?

[igaydajiev]

One more question

What is the  version  of vCO appliance and Powershell plugin in use?

[Sirry]

Logging into the vCO Configuration states:

5.1.0 build 2725

PowerShell 1.0.0.176

[Sirry · Accepted solution]

The reply by igaydajiev in the post: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2308763#2308763 fixes the issue.
