• Nested VApps in vcloud Director

  Is it possible to create the vapps nested within vcloud Director?

  Nesting vapps won't happen in vCD.  They will be parallel vApps.  Is not stop you from writing a tool/site Web automation, which would show you have there.

  vRA will address finally that, but they do not use vApps.  all virtual machines just became machines to manage without the concept of being part of a paralytic.  It will be that you have a plan of several computers that uses two other plans several computers (a DB level on the application layer).

• VApp on vcloud Director console

  Hello

  I have a little problem with vcloud Director.

  When I access the console of vapp, a window will appear, but it is completely black...

  I tried to access the machine with the vsphere client and it works... but I want to access my computer via the web console.

  You have an idea?

  Thank you

  It means something between the IP address of the client/Psoxy, pr cell/ESX is blocked, there is a bad road, or you have a load balancer to do SSL unloading on certificates of proxy requiring passthrough.  nfortuately one of the eanc thos create the connection problem.  You must ensure that all the pieces are in place one by one.  You may need to test each connection separately.  There is further discussion on this topic as well.

• Get the object of StoragePod storage profiles [vCloud Director]

  Hi all

  I'm automating DTS stuff for the creation of new vApps in vCloud Director and I want to integrate and use the workflow to Change Storage DRS by virtual machine configuration , but to do this I need to provide him with an object of type VC:StoragePod...  I have worked out how to get the default storage of each virtual computer profile, but may not know how to get to the StoragePod that it covers.

  Don't laugh, but I only managed to get this far before getting stuck:

  var vms = vApp.getChildrenVms();
  for each (var vm in vms) {
   storageProfile = vm.storageProfile;
   ....
  }
  

  Can someone show me how to get a StoragePod of a profile of storage object ideally default virtual machines?

  Thank you!

  Have you had the opportunity to see this thread: http://communities.vmware.com/message/2147437#2147437 - it seems debating what you are interested... The catch here is that you are trying to do from the side the cloud... I can't look at this right now, but I suspect that you MUST have access to the underlying infrastructure to do what you ask... in this case, you will need to extract the object from VC:VirtualMachine of your vCloud:VM object, then the thread above can deepen assistance.

• Only Super users can see the hierarchies created by collector vCloud?

  I recently installed 1.5 Chargeback and the Director vCloud data collector.

  The collector seems to work great, it creates hierarchies of vCloud Director organizations and gathering usage statistics.

  I noticed however that only the Super user role assigned users can see hierarchies created by vCloud Director, even users with administrator role apparently do not have enough privileges.

  Someone at - it using vCloud Director met with a similar problem? I'd love to hear about how you went to solve...

  Thanks in advance,

  Mason

  Hi Matty,.

  Your observation is correct. By default, only users with superuser role can see vCloud hierarchies.

  The reason for this is that internally vCloud Director collector of data uses chargeback API to create hierarchies of vCloud using chargeback super-admin (the user created during installation of chargeback) credentials. That is why chargeback super-admin is owner of all the hierarchies vCloud. The role of super-admin chargeback is the superuser, any other user who has superuser role can also see vCloud hierarchies.

  The question in front of you can be resolved by forestry as a chargeback super-admin and giving the rights with the appropriate permissions on the vCloud hierarchy to any other user. Go to the 'Users and roles '-->' permissions' tab to do this.

  I hope this helps.

• vCloud Director cannot deploy VAPP sysprep to error

  I had errors with WinServer 2003 deployment in our test environment, I didn't know that I had missed the sysprep package. Now, I have installed the package of sysprep by KB Article: 1026313 I downloaded the files on the Microsoft site and they etc. extracted then moved in the vCloud linux host. Now I get a new error:

  vCD creates a non-root user, vcloud, which is what most of the services is running as. There is a small component that runs as root in order to use the privileged TCP ports (80, 443), but everything else is actually happening in the non-preferred process.

  So you can have a problem with permissions on the sysprep cab file or the directory it is located in (especially if you have changed your umask default RHEL).

  As root:

  CD $VCLOUD_HOME

  chown-r vcloud:vcloud guestcustomization

  chmod 550 guestcustomization

  chmod 550 guestcustomization / *.

  If you need to rebuild the sysprep files in the future, you can a mode of 770 instead, but the vcloud user doesn't have write access to anything in this directory.

  Without restarting the cell is necessary. Just try to customize an another TIME.

• vCloud connector - cannot copy VAPP vCloud Director to vSphere

  Evening,

  Try to copy a paralytic to vCloud Director on vCenter 5.5 5.6 using vCloud connector 2.7.

  The scenario:

  -vCloud Director fully configured with one Org, an Org vDC and a catalog.

  -The catalog is entirely filled, shared and published.

  -Org and catalog are configured to allow the publication to external organizations;

  -vCenter and vCloud Director have been added to vCloud connector via vSphere Client plug-ins;

  -vCloud plug connector is able to see the entire structures of vSphere and vCD (org records, catalogs, vApps, models, etc.).

  Reproduce the error:

  -Using the vSphere Client, click on the Org vCD;

  -Go to the tab vApps.

  -Select a VAPP off engine;

  -Click on copy.

  -Select Catalog (it is marked as shared and, curiously, unpublished);

  -Select vCenter as the target;

  -Select the clusters, folders, data store, formatting the drive and so on;

  -Power On TIME after deploying (or not, does not matter);

  -Validate (managed);

  -Finishing.

  Task starts and fails in a minute (or less) with the following message:

  "Export OVF has failed. Failure when copying data to the clouds: https://< vcloud_director_fqdn >. Reason: [0e65fbc1-4e04-4924-ae06-c4377dfc97af] there is no catalog in the organization. »

  Looks as vCloud connector, for some reason, is unable to locate the catalog during deployment (although it may be perfectly visible during the Copy Wizard and in his inventory).

  I tried searching for it and can't find anything similar to this error.

  Maybe it s a vCD configuration error, but how would be? I ve already selected all types of option to allow editing of catalogue and sharing, and nothing has changed.

  I published also successfully catalog VCDs to vCloud connector content library, so nothing else makes sense to me.

  Solved.

  Created a new catalog and IS NOT published. Used for the copy. Went well.

• Cannot create the vCloud Director VDC

  Hi all

  Need help with my proof of concept of vCloud implementation Director. running on 5.1 vCloud Director unit. Just to give you an idea, I followed the VMware vCloud Director 5.1 Assessment Guide that we find on the VMware Web site.

  Note: My setup does not contane VXLAN although we have the network VLAN supported to improve network performance.  Of the vExpert mentioned to create a dummy VXLAN right in the vCloud Director and I'm not sure how to do this in vCloud Director console. (I noticed a default VXLAN is already created, I understand vCloud 5.1 has this feature is enabled by default)

  Installation succeeded in creating the Org VDC failed with error 'cannot create the VDC' found this disabling and re activation will release the Red 'X' I think it's false positive because it shows us that everything is perfect even if we get an error message in the logs ' status: error "and with" details: Internal Server Error' find the home images below.

  
  

  " In any case when it comes to download media after having created the catalogue for Org VDC we get the error message cannot complete the operation because the current organization VDC"Demo-Org-VDC"is disabled or is not ready '.

  I also noticed that we get an error message on vcenter Server vcloud (cell) cannot create the folder name already exists check the last my vcenter Server error message.

  also attached the logs in the images below.

  I found two post, which there is not yet of resolution and the other said its solved but does not have the fix.

  Any help to point me in the right direction will be appreciated.

  I will be happy to provide you with newspapers if necessary.

  Thank you

  I was not talking about data warehouses.  I refer to the view in the vSphere Client.

  Open the vSphere Client... and go to the computers view models and virtual (c# = Home button at the top, then models and virtual computers)

  In this perspective, there is a number of record Blue icons. Make sure that none have the same name as you describe.

  This is directly related to the error message in the client image vSphere that you took in the original post "cannot create folder. "PNG"

  vCloud produces an error because of something that happens in vCenter.

• Cannot create a subscription to notifications vCloud Director (Server.setCustomProperty routine-cursor)

  Hello

  I'm having a problem when you use the workflow of subscription vCloud Director notification.

  When you try to add an AMQP broker using the workflow ' To create a subscription for notifications vCloud Director ' I get the error messages: "Value can not be supported by the custom property".

  The broker and the recipient are created.

  After doing some research, I see that the error occurs at the end of the workflow to the 'Set prop' custom task scriptable during the procurement of:

  If (routingKeyAtt! = null) Server.setCustomProperty (subscription, "routingKey", routingKeyAtt);

  No idea why I can't set this specific CustomProperty?

  no idea who to work around this problem?

  Thank you!

  All - I've updated the package of Notifications for 5.1 file found here: vCloud Director 5.1/5.5 blocking tasks and notification using AMQP package -please try this version, it should now allow the subscription as well as adding custom properties successfully create.

  UPDATED March 11, 2014: update to "Create a vCloud Director notifications subscription" workflow for working with vCloud Director 5.5. The change IS backward compatible with vCloud Director 5.1.

• 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.

• Cannot access vCloud Director VM console

  Hello

  We´re in the face of a very strange problem when you try to access a console virtual machine via the vCloud Director 5.6 Web Portal.

  Let me describe the environment:

  1 - 2 vCloud Director cells;

  2. load balancer 1;

  3 - 1 VIP for the proxy console; 1 VIP for the web portal;

  4 - certificate of CA-signed 1 with wildcard characters (*. < domain >) instead of certificates 2 ordinary host (http. < domain > and consoleproxy. < domain >).

  5 - the following procedure was used to create the keystore of Java and to be able to import the certificate even twice (each time with a different alias):

  OpenSSL pkcs12 - in /keystore/ < company > .pfx-out /keystore/ < company > .pem

  OpenSSL pkcs12-export - in /keystore/ < company > .pem-inkey /keystore/ < company > .key-out _http.p12 /keystore/ < company > - name "http".

  OpenSSL pkcs12-export - in /keystore/ < company > .pem-inkey /keystore/ < company > .key-out _console.p12 /keystore/ < company > - name 'consoleproxy '.

  keytool - v - importkeystore - srckeystore /keystore/ < company > _console.p12 - srcstoretype PKCS12 - destkeystore /keystore/ < company > .ks - deststoretype JCEKS

  keytool - v - importkeystore - srckeystore /keystore/ < company > _http.p12 - srcstoretype PKCS12 - destkeystore /keystore/ < company > .ks - deststoretype JCEKS

  6 race "keytool-list - keystore /keystore/ < company > .ks - stores JCEKS" shows two aliases in the keystore.

  7 - vCD installer not to complaint about it.

  8 - certificate is loaded correctly when accessing the web portal

  Now the question:

  1 - the gate opens as it should;

  2. each type of action is possible and works very well;

  3. when we open a VM console for the first time, it opens normally;

  4. If we close it and try to reopen, or if we try to open a second console, it won´t open;

  5 - according to the browser:

  5.1 - console remains black. State begins to 'connection '. Changes to "Offline" after a short time;

  5.2 - console remains empty. Status hangs on "Loading"; He sometimes goes to "disconnected";

  6. If restart us the two cells, it begins around (able to open the first console, cannot open the rest);

  7. same behavior if the access using the VIP (with load balancing) or directly (using the internal IP address of cells).

  I ve seen some issues with what seemed like the same problem but no conclusive answer.

  Any help on this would be appreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  The fixed.

  1 - upgrade of vCD 5.6.3 to 5.6.4.

  2 - something with virtual machines, we had deployed for testing. We have erased their and the new have no behavior.

• How to create the Clone VM using VCO plugin to vCloud Director?

  Hello

  Vcloud Director I can do a right-click option to copy of VM use for cloning. However, vCenter Orchestrator 5.1, I don't see the copy method in the VclVM object.

  How to write a stream VCO to clone a virtual machine that is customized?

  Kind regards

  Danie

  In vCD you need to recompose a vApp to clone a virtual machine in a paralytic.

  Here's some code I created for the vCD 1.5

  var recomposeVAppParams = new VclRecomposeVAppParams();
  var vmItem = new VclSourcedCompositionItemParam();
  if (vmName != null) vm.name = vmName;
  vmItem.source = vm.getReference();
  vmItem.sourceDelete = false;
  vmItem.instantiationParams = new VclInstantiationParams();
  
  //var numNetConnections = vm.getNetworkConnectionSection().networkConnection.size();
  
  var networkConnectionSection = vm.getNetworkConnectionSection();
  vmItem.instantiationParams.section.add(networkConnectionSection);
  
  recomposeVAppParams.sourcedItem.add(vmItem);
  return vApp.recompose(recomposeVAppParams);
  

  If you want to just clone the VAPP then it is a workflow of clone in the library of vCloud.

• Cannot delete the storage policy to vCloud Director 5.5

  I'm trying to delete the storage policy to vCloud Director 5.5. I did in several vCloud Director organization VDC but stuck with one on the same instance of vCloud Director. I migrated all the VMs, the media and the VAPP model to another storage strategy. I checked in vCenter as there is no VMs who belong to this policy. Always in the vCloud Director, I see 30MB "asked" to this strategy of storage for this VDC.

  Any ideas what I need to check? How can I find what always uses this storage strategy?

  The problem has been resolved. Failed ISO image was only visilble in Administration and media & other only. After it has been removed, we were able to delete the storage policy.
