As part of one of our projects, we deployed vRealize on one of our servers (Server 1). We also have in our infrastructure, a PowerShell Server (Server 2) and a Solarwinds Server (Server 3).
What we would like to implement is a vRO workflow that runs on Server 1 and calls the PowerShell script on Server 2. The PowerShell script needs to connect to Solarwinds and run a query. For connecting to Solarwinds, we are using Orion SDK.
The PowerShell script connects to Solarwinds using the following command:
#Connect to the SolarWinds Server
$Swis = Connect-Swis –V2 -Trusted -Hostname $Server
#build the SWQL query
$Query = "SELECT R.Address as SubnetAddress, R.CIDR, R.FriendlyName, R.PercentUsed, (SELECT TOP 1 I2.IpAddress FROM IPAM.IPNode as I2 WHERE I2.Status=$($IPStatusAvailable) AND I2.SubnetId = R.GroupID) AS FreeIpAddress FROM IPAM.GroupReport as R WHERE R.CIDR='$($CIDR)' AND SubnetAddress = '$($Network)'";
#retrieve the IP
$AddressesWithSubnets = Get-SwisData $Swis $Query;
There are two scenarios we tested:
• Someone connected using Remote Desktop on the PowerShell server and executed the PowerShell script. Everything went well, and the script returned the results we were expecting.
• Someone executed the VRA workflow (which connects to the PowerShell server and runs the script).
The script fails with the following error:
- System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: The socket connection was aborted. This could be caused by an error processing your message or a receive timeout being exceeded by the remote host, or an underlying network resource issue. Local socket timeout was '00:00:59.9530496'. ---> System.IO.IOException: The write operation failed, see inner exception. ---> System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: The socket connection was aborted.

Some things we did to troubleshot the error:
• Ensure the users have access on Solarwinds
• Configured WINRS
• Opened all the port on Solarwinds server
Our investigation revealed that Solarwinds resets the connection for some reason.
Could you please help us troubleshoot this problem?
