12.0 Configuring vSphereUpdate Client and Monitoring Jobs

Typically, all VM management occurs from within Cloud Manager. The Cloud Manager Orchestration update infrastructure uses the Orchestration vSphereUpdater tool to synchronize events and changes made outside of Cloud Manager in your vSphere vCenter system to the Orchestration Server, which in turn, notifies the Cloud Manager Application Server.

The Cloud Manager Orchestration update infrastructure consists of two main components:

  • The vSphereUpdate monitor job, which starts the vSphereUpdate Client component and ensures that it runs when necessary.

  • A vSphereUpdate Client component, which is executed by the Orchestration Agent.

For a list of the changes that the update infrastructure currently detects and synchronizes, see vSphere Server Changes Synchronized to Cloud Manager by vSphereUpdater in the Cloud Manager Administrator Reference.
