• What is the smallest model of VAPP available that can be used with vCloud Director?

  Hi all

  I was on the hunt to find the smallest operating system which can be used for demonstration purposes.

  I want to be able to quickly create vApps so a small footprint would be ideal.

  What guys do you use?

  I found this customization for operating system support invited into vCloud Director 5.5 (2058524) | VMware KB

  I always look for a 'micro' distribution that supports customization of comments.

  What is the smallest available?

• What are Service Packs? Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free? If yes how? If I update it will help or hinder my system? Any pack is better than another?

  Windows Vista Service Pack (basic information)

  Hello

  I know this may seem a simple/stupid question, but I do not understand what are "Service Packs".  I don't know much about computers.

  I have restored my laptop to the factory setting today and I reinstall my programs again.  I am trying to install a new program as well (Autodesk Inventor 2012).  The installation says I can't because I need Service Pack 2 and I only have Microsoft Vista Home Premium (Version: 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001).

  What are Service Packs?  Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free?  If yes how?  If I update it will help or hinder my system?  Any pack is better than another?

  Thanks for the information and assistance that you can give.

  AstoriaBoro

  You can install Service Pack 2 very simply - go to Windows Update and check for new updates - then install all available updates.

  Once they are complete, return again (after a reboot) and do the same thing - repeat until there are no left.

  Along the way you will be installed Service pack 2 :)

• Where can I find the package libXdmcp vCloud Director 5.1 RPM installation?

  Hi all

  I have installed my first vCloud Director and am not a Linux
  Guy at all. In any case my RedHat 6 operating system does not include the RPM libXdmcp
  package. I downloaded and installed several RPM packages on the web,
  but none of them does not seem to fix the problem. vCloud Director always told me
  the package is not installed. I think that am downloading and incorrect installation
  RPM. Can someone please point me to a URL where I can download the right file?
  I went to many Web pages with hundreds of links to libXdmcp
  downloads, but I don't know which one to choose from. Also if you can tell me the
  good way to install this would be great!

  Thank you in advance for your help!

• Can't no hierarchy of vCloud Director

  Hi all

  I have configure vCenter Chargeback 1.6 (1.6.0.0 - 351155) and vCloud Director 1.01 (1.0.1 - 356485), two of them are the last version that I downloaded from the vmware Web site.

  I installed vCloud Director Collector but Chargeback cannot load the vCloud Director organization hierarchies.

  Is there anyone, who successfully of Chargeback configuration with vCloud Director?

  I have attached the log file of vCloud datacollector.

  Thank you

  Can you try a connection in the chargeback database or database vCloud by using a client?

  The log shows, connect to the oracle database is not set because of the limited number of connections.

  Might help, check out this link--> http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=898395.

  In short:

  Select * from v$ session;
  ALTER SYSTEM SET PROCESSES = 500 SCOPE IS SPFILE;.
  ALTER SYSTEM SET SESSIONS IS 500 SCOPE = SPFILE;.

  This should be, but to be able to connect as sysdba or system, you must restart the listener, only if you are not able to connect.

  Make sure you are able to connect to a database using sqlplus or sqldeveloper clients, and then restart the data collector.

• MCAK for vCloud Director 5.1

  Hello

  We use the most recent MultiCloud since vCloud Director but now look at upgrading to vCenter vCloud Director 5.1.

  I had seen a mention of help soon with version 5.1 of vCD, but did not see if it is available, or in what version it will be.

  Would you be able to give an indication of support for this version, please?

  Kind regards

  Paul

  You should have no problem with the latest version of MCAK vCloud Director 5.1. All the features of the IAC has been verified. What is not yet supported is 5.1 VCD API, so you would not be able to take advantage of the new features of the product/API with the adapter IN VCD (although you can always write your own custom using HTTP requests process to call the new REST API directly).

• VMware vCloud Director with the NSX Manager installation process.

  Hello world

  I recently planned to deploy VMware vCloud Director (so NSX Manager will be deployed, as part of the process) on an existing environment (existing virtual machines running, virtual switches,...).

  Customers use their virtual machines because they are in production.

  I was wondering if the deployment / installation of NSX Manager would cause no downtime or disturb the workflows running or even break the VM interconnections?

  Thanks in advance,

  Lawrence B.

  I looked at many tutorials, and indeed nothing should happen so that deploy a controller or something else. My concerns were about this "else", as the virtual switches and so on. I guess that the NSX will show existing resources such as the existing virtual switches (and so forth) already configured with vCenter?

  What vCloud Director does is interact with NSX via API.  Calls are exclusive to VXLAN (vdnscope-# resources in the API) and demand to deploy or update an edge.  vCD is not 'show' resources discovered by NSX.  You configure NSX and vCD makes an API call and said ' I want a Board connected to the port groups A and B "or"I want a new vWire of this VXLAN instance.

  Is there a document with the "best practices" for the deployment of vCD?

  Yes: VMware vCloud Architecture Toolkit: Cloud Computing reference Architecture | United States

  The meddle with existing resources, must have dedicated resources for the vCD vendor (aka the cluster in vCenter).  It is better to have that then using a pool of resources to a cluster where neighbour noisy problems can arise.  vCAT above might exceed a lot of that when you read it.

• vCloud Director 5.5 does not show all comments properties define in EGGS

  Hi all

  I work with a partner who is having a problem after the upgrade to 5.5 VCD

  Problem: vCloud Director 5.5 does not show all comments properties define in the OVA. Same EGGS has worked with vCloud Director 5.1

  Comment: When you create a new TIME by using the model from EGGS, all properties are displayed.

  But even if all of the properties have been shown at the time of the creation, that some have been observed when MISTLETOE was used to view existing comments properties

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you

  Florence

  This is a bug in VCD 5.5.0 and 5.5.1. It will be fixed in 5.5.2. If you can't wait for the fix so there is a /hotpatch. If you file a support request then GSS can give you the /hotpatch

• Will vcloud Director 5.5 compatible with vsphere 5.1U1?

  Hey,.

  We vSphere 5.1U1 running in production and we look at vCloud Director 5.5 for the deployment. But VMware does not have a virtual Director 5.1 appliance and we do not want to buy a server, Redhat enterprise server (we could upgrade vSphere 5.1u1 soon, but due the Veem, we cannot now). Since VMware provides the virtual appliance for vCloud Director 5.5, so I got this question that I can't answer in VMware documents:

  Will vCloud Director 5.5 compatible with vSphere 5.1U1?

  Thank you

  / S

  Yes vCloud Director 5.5 is compatible with vSphere 5.1U1.

• vCloud Director 5.1 install OS Question

  Can I use CentOS instead of Red Hat as the operating system for vCloud Director install?  If yes what the game (if any) would be if I needed VMware support (they even would support me)?

  Thank you for your time.

  Sean

  There is nothing prevents you to install it on CentOS.  During the installation you will be told that you are using an unsupported operating system.

  All the problems that would arise from the use of CentOS instead of RHEL is not support.  We must do better to ensure that it is not a question of use/code, as well a reasonable given the suspicion that the OS is really at fault.

  Strictly speaking, being an employee of VMware, I can't close my eyes go against the recommendations of the platform supported.

  However, in more recent versions, I have not personally seen problems directly related to the operating system.  vCloud is a java-based application and is associated with a specific version of Java that is provided by the installer.  If we use even the system version of Java to create the gap.

  too long, didn't read = you can, but shouldn't.

• Invalid accept header with PHP SDK 5.1 against 1.5.1 vCloud Director

  In PHP 5.1 SDK samples do not work against 1.5.1 vCloud Director?  Any code that I am trying to write with PHP 5.1 SDK really will work against my vCD 1.5.1?  Or it will fail as the samples?  Is there something I can do for samples and all this work?

  My question seems very similar to http://communities.vmware.com/message/2142668#2142668.  I've had some success with the SDK 1.5 samples against my 1.5.1 vCloud Director.  But when I've upgraded to the PHP 5.1 SDK, all I could get was "invalid accepts header" messages, like this:

  Version switching in gross 1.5 to 5.1 API call causes the accept header message invalid, which is not surprising, now that I became familiar with the format and the requirement to accept header.
  For example, can code samples from the SDK 5.1 actually work against 1.5.1 API?
  Thank you!!!

  Hello

  PHP Fatal error: Eception exception 'VMware_VCloud_SDK_Exception' with message "POST https://vcloud.mydomain.edu/api/login failed, return code: 401 error,:, request data:"

  [Rajesh] Seems to me like a problem of password username. As it clearly says 401.

  After changing VCLOUD_API_VERSION in library/VMware/VCloud/Constants.php of 5.1 to 1.5, I get this:

  [Rajesh] SDK users should not change the code in the library. This is a bug with the SDK for not allowing users to change the version of API through the library (connection method accepts the version as well) rather than change in the library.
