Most likely the first thing that you want to do with your Orchestrator, is to add your vCenter instance to your Orchestrator, so you can run workflows against it.
To do that, let's log in to your Orchestrator HTML5 Client.
Go to workflows. We need to search the right workflow for us. Use two keywords, "add" and "vcenter", and we should be able to find a correct workflow
Click "RUN" on "Add a vCenter Server instance" workflow to start it.
Give your vCenter IP or FQDN to form. You might also want to check "Do you want to ignore certificate warnings? If you select Yes, the vCenter Server instance certificate is accepted silently and the certificate is added to the trusted store", at least if you are using self-signed certificates.
Go to "Set the connection properties" tab, and give username and password that are used to connect to vCenter.
Click "Run", and wait for workflow to run.
If everything goes as expected, you should see that status is "completed".
You can now go to Administration -> Inventory, and you should be able to see your vCenter inventory from here:
We have now succesfully added our vCenter instance to Orchestrator!
