Workflow Name	Description
Disable FT	Deactivates Fault Tolerance for a specified virtual machine.
Enable FT	Activates Fault Tolerance for a specified virtual machine.
Extract virtual machine information	Returns the virtual machine folder, host system, resource pool, compute resource, datastore, hard drive sizes, CPU and memory, network, and IP address for a given virtual machine. Might require VMware Tools .
Find orphaned virtual machines	Lists all virtual machines in an orphaned state in the Automation Orchestrator inventory. Lists the VMDK and VMTX files for all datastores in the Automation Orchestrator inventory that have no association with any virtual machines in the inventory. Sends the lists by email (optional).
Get VM by Name and BIOS UUID	Searches virtual machines by name and then filters the result with particular universally unique identifier (UUID) in order to identify a unique virtual machine. This workflow is needed when DynamicOps calls Automation Orchestrator workflows having input parameters of VC:VirtualMachine type in order to make the correspondence between a particular DynamicOps and Automation Orchestrator virtual machine.
