Custom scripts in Recovery Orchestrator

[mjm599]

Hi All,

I have been reading this document: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vro/u ... tml?ver=70

I can see that running scripts inside Linux OS is not supported, however wondered what the capabilities are in Recovery Orchestrator.

For example, can Recovery Orchestrator run scripts on VMware vCenter, VMware ESXi Hosts, etc?

So if we wanted a script to remove a disk from a VM in vCenter, could Recovery Orchestrator do that?

Could Recovery Orchestrator be set to run a script to create a VM in vCenter and attach a disk?

Or can Recovery Orchestrator only run scripts against VBR, Orchestrator and inside Windows VMs?

Thanks,

Hi!
If you install the VMware PowerCLI or ESXCLI on your VRO or VBR server,you will have PowerShell cmdlets that can perform many operations on vCenter/ESXi such as create VM, remove disk, connect network etc.
Then you can create scripts, and VRO can trigger such scripts as Custom Steps and pass in parameters that could be useful. Just import your script to VRO and execute it on the VRO server.

Also check out the community at VRO Heroes Den , they have quite a few example scripts.

Hope that helps!
