VRO USING TELNET TO TEST PORT CONNECTVITIY
vRealize Orchestrator has a TelnetClient scripting class that you can use to test port connectivity. This is far easier to use than dropping to a telnet client on a cli and test connectivity that way. Together with using the TelnetClient scripting class and a workflow that would loop and wait for the port to be open, fail gracefully or continue the workflow but notify that connectivity wasn’t available, the options the TelnetClient scripting class gives you are very handy. Here a screenshot of what the scripting class looks like in the API browser: The constructor looks like this: var telnet = new TelnetClient(string) The parameter is a string and takes a terminal type, which be default is VT100. Other terminal types would be ANSI, VT52, VT102, VTNT and so on. VVT stands for video terminal so mostly you can use the default value of VT100. Here is some simple code to test telnet connectivity: var port = 22; // number var target = ...
