• #AVCA vCloud AIR and private Cloud

  If our customers have a few SDDC (private Cloud) in its data center if there's opportunity to create the DR site in vCloud Air and replicate all virtual machines to the cloud.

  If after that a disaster in SMV primary location should be available for the customer? (I predict customer should have a specific configuration and product for the replication of all virtual machines of their datacenter to vCloud Air?)

  Hi Sebastian,.

  Yes, vCloud Air Disaster Recovery allows to easily backup and catering for your workloads cloud virtualized (and not virtualized using one of our third party partners), using management tools you already use on-Prem when your customer subscribes to vCloud Air Disaster Recovery, they will be able to select vCloud Air as a backup destination for their VMs within vCloud Director (see link below for a tutorial video demonstration of this action).  vCloud Air Disaster Recovery using vSphere replication to manage failover and failback of the virtual machines.  It does not require a separate, purchase everything necessary to facilitate backup and restore is included in the price of subscription vCloud Air Disaster Recovery.

  If the client experiences a disaster, they will be able to turn the virtual machines that they were back up to the cloud (up to 15 minutes RPO), in the Air of vCloud.  They have 30 days to use their ability subscribed free of charge, with the possibility of adding more resources, if necessary.

  I am will broadcast a webcast tomorrow, March 3, at 11 am PST to talk about DR based on a cloud and vCloud Air if you want more information: Cloud Computing Webcasts | Air by VMware vCloud

• Web service for private cloud OPA connectors

  Hello

  1. is there a pre-configured for Oracle HCM web services connector? The documentation (which is a web service connection?) specifies that "predefined web service connectors are available for some Oracle applications."

  2 are PL/SQ skills necessary to query and update the data source (Oracle), or the structure of connectors contains of classes/methods/etc, that to do this at a higher level (i.e. just by specifying the details of db connection & fields)?

  I am aware of the example of project (that I'll study in parallel), but just ask quickly here as well.

  Thanks in advance,

  Razvan

  I'm not aware of a web services connector pre-built from Oracle for HCM, but it is possible that there is something developed by a partner of Oracle.

  The structure of connectors is really an architecture and a set of definitions of the web services any connector must support. It is possible to build a connector that uses the JDBC API, PL/SQL, other Java API, or call other web services. The main requirement is that it should provide a mapping to something that resembles the structure of the Table/column/line/field expect web services of the OPA.

• identification of the Director of virtual cloud into vCloud API

  Hello

  VCloud API, we can try to identify a computer virtual questioning his AdminVMRecord and by comparing these attributes:

  • AdminVMRecord.id
  • AdminVMRecord.vc
  • AdminVMRecord.vdc
  • AdminVMRecord.org

  I think it's safe to uniquly identify each VM in the vcloud, but what happens if I have two different sets of vcloud, which means I have two separate virtual-cloud-Director?

  Is it possible to acquire information of identification-virtual-cloud-Director via vCloud api?

  Thanks for comments in advance.

  To uniquely identify a virtual machine or any object in an instance of vCloud Director (several cells), at least in VCD 1.5, you must use its ID (format URN)

  for example urn: vcloud:vm:71d5b81a-f82d-495a-9e58-4b95a645c841

  If you need identify different vCloud Director forums, you can always use the same ID, but you'll want to capture the href that includes the host name of the VCD instance and if you break the href you will see that it includes the ID of the object as well.

  for example https://vcd1/api/vApp/vm-71d5b81a-f82d-495a-9e58-4b95a645c841

  You can also take a look at these articles for more information:

• Connector for Siebel for OPA Private cloud 12.1.0

  When is the expected release date of Siebel connector for OPA Private cloud 12.1.0?.

  The plan is for comparable features available in future releases of Siebel. Note that the mapping is built directly in to OPA 12.x, a separate connector may no longer be necessary.

  More information on this approach will be available by releasing Siebel 15.4.

• Y at - it no vCloud API Java, who can give me the pool of the external IP address list for a particular network of org. ?

  Hello

  I've implemented vCloud Director on my network, when I create an organization network that is NAT-Routed I give him a pool of external IP addresses.

  My Question is that when an organization network is deleted what is happening with this pool of IP, how can retrieve us these IP address.

  Y at - it no vCloud API Java, who can give me the pool of the external IP address list for a particular network of org. ?

  Kind regards

  SachinJ

  Check the examples 6-10 and 6-11 in the vCloud API Programming Guide ("' an Administrative organization network overview").

  Although the 6-11 is abbreviated, 6-10 seems to suggest that the AllocatedIpAddresses element may contain what you are looking for.

• vCloud Director for 5.6.3 - level storage disk virtual machine profiles service provider

  Hello

  A new feature has been ad with vCloud Director for provider 5.6.3

  Profiles of storage disk virtual machine level:

  Unlock loads such as databases and e-mail servers that require different levels of a single VM disks to balance the cost of storage with performance.

  Can someone show me how I can do?  When I try to add a second disk to a virtual machine I can not change the storage for that specific disc profile!

  Thank you

  It is a unique feature of the API.

  I think that this should be the right section of the API schema: http://pubs.vmware.com/vcd-56/topic/com.vmware.vcloud.api.reference.doc_56/doc/types/DiskType.html

• Using the vCloud on hosted iland Director vCloud API

  Hi all, I'm new to vCloud so please forgive me if I ask a stupid question. I am currently developing a solution of automation using vCloud API (.Net), and I have at my disposal a vCloud hosted on iland.

  I am trying to run the .net SDK samples and I see that I must provide the "vcloud" url to connect. For example, the command to get a list with all current VM is the following:

  ListAllvApps VcloudUrl user@organization password

  The thing is that I don't really know what is this "vcloudurl", I tried to use the value that appears in "URL for the default organization" on the parameters of the Organization (see screenshot), but I got an error in the response (rather than get a xml, I get an element html with text "Page not found" or something similar in the body).

  Can someone help me on this?

  Thank you very much

  Jorge

  

  I don't use iland, so I can't test it for real... but I did a few tests with what I could.

  URL of the API:

  https://dal01.ilandcloud.com/API

  API version: 1.5 (5.1 I tried, but it seems that they are not on this version yet)

  Example command to run with curl (most linux boxes can work and windows with Cygwin)

  curl-i k h ' Accept: application / * + xml; " version = 1.5"test@test:test u x POST https://dal01.ilandcloud.com/api/sessions

  This should connect and give you a token of permission-vcloud-x.  If you know that the RestAPI can connect.

  Hope it gets you going, wish I could do more but I do not have a full account to test with their services.

• Get 'Access denied' vCloud API client after the time-out period

  The .NET tool we build against the API for vCloud strike sometimes a timeout, which will essentially all subsequent calls (at least for the namespaces for example VAPP, Vdc and VM) fails with an access denied message. There is no doubt that this is because a timeout, because that happens only after a certain amount of inactivity.

  Now, I want to try and detect this "timeout" somehow and act accordingly, for example automatically trigger a disconnection and the client connection (instead of making mistakes). The other option is to have a thread keep alive session by calling some resources very, but really, I don't like the idea of ever having any connected clients.

  Any thoughts on how I can detect that the time-out has hit? I can't count on the fact that "Access denied" mean timeout...

  Thank you!

  It's a good suggestion, only that I do not directly use the services REST, but the VcloudSDK and the vCloudRestSchema DLL to in .NET... What would be the equivalent of/api/sessions?

  I'm not sure.

  I'm not a .NET programmer (and don't see anything useful in the .NET SDK documentation), but I don't know that the Java development kit has a RestUtil class with a method 'get' that runs on a URL specified by the arbitrary appellant that could be called "/ api / sessions" to do something in this direction in Java. The .NET development kit may have a similar utility class with such a method?

• How to use the api to query / vcloud api to filter records by ID AdminVAppTemplate?

  I tried the following REST calls:

  
  Here, I tried to use the href of the vAppTemplate:

  https://VCD.dDEV/API/query?type=adminVAppTemplate & Filter = href is https://VCD.dDEV/API/vapptemplate-ed8aa4df-64be-454a-9acc-48ad25248092

  This means "com.vmware.vcloud.api.rest.parser.QueryParseException: Bad request: href unknown property name.

  Here, I tried to use the ID of the vAppTemplate (preferred method):
  https://VCD.dDEV/API/query?type=adminVAppTemplate & Filter = ID is urn:vCloud:vapptemplate:ed8aa4df - 64be-454-bis-9acc-48ad25248092

  Any thoughts on how I can sort by ID?  or same href?

  Hi jarhorn,

  Currently the query Service does not support filtering based on the href or id property, but you can use the entity resolver to help you since you already know that the property ID take a look at this article for more details - http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/05/entity-resolver-in-the-vcloud-api.html

  FYI - we are aware of this limitation today with the query Service and it will be fixed.

  Thank you

• Impossible to connect to the vCloud API - not allowed

  Hello

  We are new to vCloud environment and we are currently generating some POCs to become a vCloud provider.

  I'm suppose to integrate vCloud Director with our company portal, but I am currently struggling to connect to the vCloud API. It always throws an error "unauthorized". With the same credentials I can log into the vCloud Director without a problem.

  http:// < server_ip >/API/versions works very well for me, but http:// < server_ip > /api/v1.0/login message "unauthorized."

  I followed a few threads on the same discussion, and I give my user/pass in the following order.

  User@system

  < password >

  Appreciate help on this for me to pursue further away that I fight to achieve this for the last two days.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You can try with another tool - for example curl?

  Curl for example connection command: curl k u @System: /api/v1.0/login https:// (k option must ignore SSL certificate errors, as appropriate).

  In addition, you can try with a user in a different Organization (non-system).

  Can you also send the contents of the container-vcloud - debug.log after unsuccessful login (it is under/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/logs).

• How to get host real cpu/mem using vCloud API?

  I try to get the actual use of the processor and memory for the host esxi with the vCloud API. Until know I figured out how to get total cpu/memeory available. However, I don't find a way to get use. Is this possible?

  You must use the vSphere API to retrieve that:
