• Cannot save the vCO with vCenter WebClient

  Hi all

  I have a strange situation that I hope you can help me with.

  Basically, I am fighting to save the vCO with vCenter WebClient device, when I try to add in the web interface of vCenter, the test connection fails.

  The vCO device has been configured to use AD authentication and the vCenter plugin seems to be set up correctly. In fact, I can run all workflows from it interact successfully with the vCenter.

  I followed the troubleshooting steps in similar positions, but none of them have worked:

  Re: impossible to integrate vcenter orchestrator with WebClient

  Re: Can't save orchestrator in vsphere client of web (v5.5)

  I can see the extension of vCO through the https://vcenter1.xxxxx.com/mob . I have also not saved and put it back with the same result.

  I also tried with different versions of the device to vCO (5.0, 5.5.1 5.5.2...) but no joy with any of them.

  I want to emphasize that I used a device registered with vCenter, vCO which has been deleted. After checking the mob site, I discovered that the extension pointing to this previous vCO was still in place, so I recorded. But the issue has not been resolved.

  vCenter 5.5.0 build 1750785

  vCO 5.5.2 build 1951762

  Any other ideas?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  In order to use the vCO within customer web vSphere vCO must use SSO authentication and SSO used must match the one used by web vSphere client.

  What happens is this user log in vSphere client and web based on as user token credentials is generated.

  This token is presented to the vCO and vCO is not able to check (because in LDAP mode or using different SSO server or...) vCO rejects the request.

• vCO and vCenter Linked Mode

  Hello!

  are there problems to wait when connecting vCO to a vCenter which is in bound mode?

  Thank you!

  see you soon,

  Joerg

  Hello

  with the exception of the limitations known to vCenter Server and vCenter Orchestrator, I think that there are no problems with this solution. You will need a vCO by vCenter Server instance in enterprise environments. In smaller environments, you can connect several Server vCenter vCenter Orchestrator.

• vCO - adding vCenter

  When you add a 5.5 Server vCenter Orchestrator 5.5u1 I get the error:

  InternalError: java.security.cert.CertificateException: certificate is not consistent with the constraints of the algorithm (Workflow: import a certificate from URL / validate (item1) #6)

  The vCenter server has been upgraded to 5.5 of many previous versions of vCenter.

  Any suggestions on how I can add this server?

  The machine Google references SSL, MD5 compatibility issues.

  Thoughts?

  ~ Alex

  Maybe some of the certificates has key too short, or uses an algorithm that is no longer supported. You try to ease some of the restrictions.

  Look for a file named java.security (vCO device, it is /usr/java/jre-vmware/lib/security/java.security. Open it with a text editor and look for the jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithmsproperty. Its default value is something like

• What can you do with vCO in vCenter Foundation and Essentials?

  Hello!

  When you have a Standard license for vCenter, you have a complete Orchestrator platform, you can develop your own workflow...

  In vCenter Foundation, you have an orchestrator of 'read only', so you can only run existing workflows, but you cannot create your own little ones.

  Is it possible to import (3 suppliers of party for example) packages and run the workflow in these packages?

  What vcenter Essentials, what's possible here?

  Thank you!

  See you soon,.

  Joerg

  Hi Joerg,

  Installation and Config Guide, p59 (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vco_410_install_config_guide.pdf):

  Essentials: "you're reading privileges on all the Orchestrator. You can run the workflow, but you cannot modify them. »

  Normally, with the Foundation, you should be able to import, execute and modify workflows of 3 packs of part.

• time zone problem schedule vCAC Advanced Service Blueprint, VCO Linked Clone Workflow, setting

  If I have problems when you request a catalog from a VCO workflow built-in VCAC article.  I use the workflow VCO "Linked Clone, with a single NETWORK card and Windows credentials" located in VCO under vCenter > > Clone > > Clone bound > > customization of Windows.  I can go through the workflow very well in VCO, but I want to make it available via vCAC.  When I try to download a virtual machine using workflow, the application process fails using the form in the time zone of the form section.  There seems to be a problem with vCAC questioning vCO for doing the research for the appropriate time zone setting.  The application works very well since within vCO, but not inside vCAC.  Thoughts?

  Jeremy

  I ended up using a vCenter customization specification to achieve this.  It turns out that the specification is as a safety net that will configure everything that is defined in the specification, unless there is a custom property configured on the action plan for this setting.  If this is the case, the custom property takes precedence.

• Get specific references for all controls

  Using slightly modified code from here, I'm generating a table of references of control on my main façade which is then transmitted to a number of subVIs. Although this feature does not work, it would be preferable to obtain specific references to controls (for example, Boolean RefNum instead of RefNum of control).

  Get these specific references seem possible using constants more specific class and the class specifier. However, the storage of data becomes a problem because I can use is more tables (because they are a different type of data). I don't know if there is another way to transmit these data. I experienced casting the RefNums in the variants, but to get the data of the variant, I need to know what type of RefNum I'm waiting order, of defeats the purpose of making it in the first place.

  A secondary problem is the names of references. The RefNums of control do not have names associated with them, and I do not know how to assign names to them. I tried again using variants and using the function name of the OpenG value data, but this block LabVIEW without indicating why.

  I have attached a version of my code that tries to assign names by using the name of the OpenG value data and build an array of variant. To run it, simple addition the VI as a Subvi has VI that has some Boolean controls on the front panel. My apologies for the crude State of the code - I'm still trying to find how to run things are a bit messy.

  I don't know if you're going to get much better.  There is really no way I know to have a completely flexible way to the building called cluster of references based on any set of given façade, Subscribe to this.

  I tend to do things the manual way (as there are also a bunch of references to elements of façade, that I wouldn't need).  I would like to do all the work for the grouping in a Subvi.

  I am attaching a zip file that contains the key to VI (unless I missed something) on the first project where I really tried to resume on the reference building.  The files are LV9.

  My main VI, I have the Sub - VI soon called to build the interface user of VI references during an initialization phase.  I pass the reference to the main VI in this sub - VI that generates all the references.  I worked on it as a master cluster that contains items that are arrays of references to related controls.  It uses an other sub - VI, called get references and names of labels that I created to help find witnesses.  I still need to use more specific class to get the property references, but I put only once at the beginning.  I then move this thread to cluster out and anywhere in my VI which should have access to references of the façade elements.

  I use arrays of strings to supply the names, I need to build and group references.  This allows me to ignore the controls, I don't care.  The drawbacks to my system, is that if I change the name of a command, I need to update the name in the Subvi.  And if I want to add all controls, not only do I need to add the label to search functions names, I also need to update my cluster typedef (and you absolutely want it is a typedef) to add a place to store the new reference.

  I hope that gives you some ideas.  It worked for me and I will probably use the scheme on another project (or even rewrite other projects using this diagram.)  If there are ideas of improvements, I'd be happy to hear.

• How to stop a particular vCenter alerts

  Hello

  I know that I have asked a few questions simple and stupid these days, but believe me, I got this tool foglight for installation in our environment that I have no idea, but no other no appointment... must be done. so tried my ways.

  Scenario 1:

  I have 3 guarded vCenters currently in my FVE 8, we will do a normal maintenance on a vCenter, how can I stop all alerts for this specific vCenter. What I have to edit each rule or is it possible to stop the agent that collects the data... something like that.

  Scenario 2: I want to add a new environment of vCenter for my tool existing Foglight, how this can be achieved.

  Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.

  Thank you

• vRealize device Orchestrator 6.0.3 and vCenter 5.5 5.6 U3/vCloud Director

  Hello world

  I have a few questions on the compatibility between vRO 6.0.3 and vCenter vCloud Director 5.6 and 5.5:

  In vCenter Orchestrator 5.5.2 I plugin to connect the vCO to vCenter (version 5.5.2.1875635):

  

  1. in new vRO 6.0.3 for configuration I can not find this plugin, but when I checked the news of plug-ins I found a plugin vCenter (version vCenter Server 6.0.2.2995112). But how can I connect vRO 6.0.3 vCenter 5.5 (only by the workflow?).

  

  2. a supplementary door on vSphere Web Client integration with vRO. To do this properly first of all I must use SSO authentication mode? It won't work with LDAP authentication?

  3. anyone know if vRO works closely with vCloud Director 5.6? I found 5.5.1.2 plugin, but using this plugin, I can not connect to vCD (in vCO 5.5.2 I have no problem).

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Hello

  (1) Yes, plugin configuration is workflow (this is the approach recommended new plug-ins; the old configuration of Web UI is deprecated and will be removed at some point).

  (2) only the SSO mode is supported; LDAP won't work. Note that the UNIQUE authentication token is acquired in the name of the user logged in vSphere client to Web, so you must make sure that this user has enough permissions to connect to vRO.

  (3) it should be newer versions of this plugin, and compatibility matrix showing which plugin version is compatible with given the vCD. Don't know where it is, however.

• Copy comments to vCO Workflow question

  I'm having some trouble with the copy of the client to a workflow of vCO (library > vCenter > operations > files > copy of comments to vCO).  I followed all the instructions on how to configure a local access on the file system of vCO, but I can't make it work for write access (note: read is very good I can make a copy OF vCO to guest with success).  In addition, I can get this working with native directories listed in the file js - io - rights.conf (meaning, all except the two new entries at the bottom of the file js - io - rights.conf below).

  # cat /etc/vco/app-server/js-io-rights.conf

  -rwx /.

  + rwx/var/run/vco /.

  -rwx/etc/vco/app-server/security /.

  + rx/etc/vco /.

  + rx/var/log/vco /.

  + rwx/nfs/repo /.

  + rwx/repo/nfs/exports.

  The permissions are set exactly the same, for example, like/var/run/vco:

  drwx - 2 vco vco 4096 Oct 5 14:55 / var/run/vco

  drwx - 2 vco vco 4096 Sep 29 14:22 / nfs/repo

  The error I get when running workflow is "permission is denied" see below the exact error:

  / nfs/repo (Permission denied) (workflow: copy of the file of comments to the vCO / Scriptable task (item1) #10)

  Finally, I have restarted the services vRO/vCO, and in desperation, restarted the unit several times but still no go.

  Any help is appreciated!

  I checked it on the device with the same version and had no problems. You can check that the "vco" user have permissions on the folder /nfs off/nfs/repo

• Is there a way to get the list of hosts and its groups of belonging to the vCenter folder level in 5.5 web vsphere client plugin development?

  Hello

  I need to get the list of all hosts and its groups of belonging to the vcenter folder level.

  1. I created a view giving the extension point: vsphere.core.folder.monitorViews.

  2. After this step, I wrote the constraint as in my class of mediator,

  var ListConstraint:Constraint =

  QuerySpecUtil.createConstraintForRelationship ( _contextObject, 'childEntity');

  I was expecting a list of all child entities such as hosts, dc, cluster... But I have only the immediate child object which is only the Datacenter as my result.

  Is it possible to get all hosts and vCenter folder level Clusters because I need the entire list to vCenter (highest level).

  Other info:
  

  Object file has only two properties:

  1 childEntity - list of entities

  2 childType in-kind folder ('Virtual Machine', 'Data center'...)

  Is it possible to write a constraint specifying which list of childEntities I need using childType in.

  Example: Make Me childEntities that has a 'Host' and 'Cluster' childType but childType in doesn't have these two types.

  In addition, at this level, I could see the 'Associated objects' tab which has all the information I need, such as Clusters and Cluster tab hosts and host tab respectively.

  So, I think its possible to get this list to vCenter folder level.

  I have attached a screenshot representing the need. Kindly ignore the Conventions of naming in there since I edited the example comes with the sdk program.

  
  

  Query:

  1. How can I get the host and Cluster (table of relationship) list to vCenter folder level or even at the level of the vise.global.view?

  2. once I get this list, is it possible for me to manipulate that list and send the new list to IU?

  3. is there another way to do the same thing without the help of model classes and mediator?
  

  
  

  Pointers to this will be very useful.
  

  It is not possible to obtain all hosts a folder specific vCenter from a single query Data Manager.  You need to get the list of centers of data first and then get a list of data center hosts.

  It is best to make these repeated requests to the java level and return only the list that you want to the user interface.

  You can get all the objects in the host of the system with a simple query using a constraint with targetType = 'HostSystem', but you will need to eliminate those from other vCenter servers.  See how this chassis example queries all hosts the Java later in the getHosts() method: samples/chassis-app/chassisRackVSphere-service/src/main/java/com/vmware/samples/chassisRackVSphere/ChassisRackVSphereDataAdapter.java

  Another option is to use the vSphere Web Services SDK to browse vCenter. See the vSphere management forum for help on these APIs.  See this plugin of the sample using this SDK

  samples/vsphereviews/vsphere-wssdk-provider/src/main/java/com/vmware/samples/wssdkprovider/VmDataProviderImpl.java
