vCloud Director 5.1 install OS Question

• vSphere 5.5 hosts appear under "Hosts" in vCloud Director

  Hi guys.

  I had a problem with my cell of vCloud Director and re-installed completely.

  On the vCD fresh installation I have no problem adding vCenter 5.5 but no host show at all.

  I tried to remove and re - install agents on host computers, vCD reset my vCenter inventory 5.5 database, restart the hosts, but nothing is.

  Any thoughts on this topic?

  Thank you

  Attach a vCenter is not enough, you must create a provider vDC then.  It is the association of a cluster for the vCloud instance.  Once this is done, guests who are part of the cluster should appear in the list of guests to prepare.

  Clusters must be active DRS.  Do not disable DRS on a cluster, it is attached to vCloud Director.

• vCloud Director agent 1.5 and 5.0 ESX install

  So I was stuck on this problem all day. I have install a LABORATORY VC, vCloud Director on ANY 1.5 and imported the vShield device. 2 guests can see both the same two LUN 1 TB. In VC is all looks good, but the question is now, I cannot prepare my 2 hosts. I have rebuilt the 4 times each. Both hosts are in an active cluster with DRS. I get the following error in vCloud Director:

  "Cannot prepare host."
  

  
  

  Failure occurred during the preparation of the host 'esxi2 '.
  -esxi2
  -esxi2

  I tried to force a manual installation:

  / var/log # esxcli software install--force d /opt/vmware/vcloudagent-1.5.0-453916.zip vib
  Result of the installation
  Message: The Operation completed successfully.
  Restart required: false
  VIBs installed: VMware_bootbank_vcloud - agent_1.5.0 - 453916
  VIBs deleted:
  VIBs ignored:

  But then goes to vCD, it is not ready... I tried everything I can think of.

  Logfiles which I need to sift through on the host to submit more information about why the TI of fails?

  Thank you!

  even if you manually install the VIB, you always run the step 'prepare' vcloud Director.  VIB itself is just a module, and it will be not configured correctly until you run the action to prepare vcloud.

  Please make sure you have a persistent scratch location, if it was a compact installation.  If you are on an SD card or a USB storage, make sure that it happens soon enough to process the download and install it in a minute or two... or it's a timeout.

  either elsewhere newspapers that you would need to look at are the vcloud-container - debug.log (from the time of the State of the error), and perhaps the esx host logs in case there is a Setup error.

• Director of miniature console unavailable question vcloud

  Since we have updated the vCloud, I am experiencing an intermittent problem of "VM console miniature unavailable question vCloud Director."

  Screenshot can be controlled with http://t.co/tWkkIHyxYl

  We have had this problem several times. In our case the support VMware clearly had us on inventory data that vCD maintains in its database as it gets vcenter. It seems that this may become corrupted or out of sync but by turning off the tables in the database force a re-synchronization complete. vCD uses these inventory information to create a REST API query to get the sticker in vCenter.

• VCloud Director displays do not Vcenter data.

  Hi guys,.

  I installed VCD 5.5, vsheild Manager and vcenter on a single ESXi 5.5 . I am facing problems with VCloud Director.Although I have attached the Vcenter Sucessfully in VCD, vcenter data not poping upward into Vcd. So the list of hosts is empty. No resouce pool are coming in Vcd.

  Here are my questions coming in my mind... I think I might get hurt

  1 then I installed VCD 5.5, vsheild Manager and vcenter on a single ESXi 5.5 host?

  2. is it a problem with the license... Although all of them are allowed until 2015. ?

  3. do I need to manually install the agent Vcd on ESXi... Although I think that this should be done automatically? If yes how to do this.

  Please tell me where I can be wrong.

  I have attached snapshots of Vcenter and VCD. Please review those and help out me

  All responses will be appreciated.

  Thank you

  You must create a provider vDC for nothing appear.  This requires some DRS to be on (if you don't have it already done) and requires usually two hosts in a cluster.  This is because you need to spend in maintenance mode to install the agent correctly and can vmotion powerd on the VMS of a host while the other prepares.  It's all part of the installation and Administrator's guide.

• Director of cloud pre-sales question

  Hello

  We must go to VMware of Hyper-V, precisely because VMware supports the video standard OpenGL 2.1.  I have read a lot about VMware and have received assistance from large on their part, but I have just a few more questions. [Think about the character of Peter Falk "Lieutenant Columbo" ]

  Today, we have a server in our test lab.  We want fast prorvisioning and free service for creating virtual machines.  Users need create virtual machines, self-service portal is a 'lack '.  Commissioning quick is a 'lack' because we need non-technical users to test our software in SMV isolated.

  Another "want" is the ability to script the creation of machines "quickly put into service.  We test a large legacy application and every feature or bug fix is isolated in its own branch of source control.  Once tested and approved, we merge the machines at the main branch of software.  It is for us to script to create a virtual machine in our process of generation, in this way, we create a "quick commissioning" VM, installing our software on this subject, end users can test without having to install every time like that.

  So, my questions are:

  • I know that Director/vsphhere/vcenter cloud should not all be on the same host, but it is for our QA software test lab and is not a critical situation of the mission.  The machine is a Dell R710 with 128 RAM.  This would probably be ok for our application?
  • What is the minimum I need to purchase?  Should I have the Suite Enterprise cloud to get the self-service portal and fast commissioning or is there a cheaper version?
  • I can script the creation of VMs fast-provisioned?
  • How can I search Subforums here?

  Thank you!

  We demand that the DRS is turned on.  You will need to create a cluster (regarless of who in need), put the host in this cluster, enable drs in manual mode.
  Put vCenter/vCloud at the origin of the cluster to use these resources.
  Make a pool of resources and reserves (minimum values) the value to something substantial.  This will eventually become your pool of resources 'Provider', and you want to make sure that your minimum is guaranteed once you put it into vCloud Director.
  Recognize that the left all the resources of this pool are what vCenter/vCloud must work with.
  • What is the minimum I need to purchase?  Should I have the Suite Enterprise cloud to get the self-service portal and fast commissioning or is there a cheaper version?

  It would be better to talk to a sales representative.  If you buy the "vcloud suite" of any teir, it will let you install and use vCloud Director.  I think all versions will give you quick commissioning and the portal (vCloud Director himself).

  You will always need a Red Hat operating system license to install vCloud Director for deployment supported, or CentOS to a deploymnet not supported.  The vCloud unit would also work, but it's only for the proof of Concept (last I heard).

  If you do not use the device, you must also support Oracle or MS SQL DB Server to host the database of vCloud.  SQL Express to vCenter won't work (default) because it only supports local connections and other limits (total size of DB)

  The difference in versions will affect what you get with it... once again talk about sales exactly what you need.   But I think the standard should be suitable for you.

  • I can script the creation of VMs fast-provisioned?

  You just enable rapid Provisioning on the vDC organization, assuming that it is supported.  Once that done, all operations which should make a clone related shall be a linked clone.

  • How can I search Subforums here?

  Go to the forum you want to search for and use the search box.  Do not hit enter or anything like that.  You should get quick results with options, and there is a link "Search only.  Then see all the results.

• Could not access vCloud Director with IE

  Hi, I installed vCloud Director 1.5 on my CentOS 6.3 in my lab. I used a Microsoft SQL database. During installation, I tried to set all the parts correctly. Everything was fine and I can launch my Internet Explorer browser and connect to the vCloud Director. I set it up without any problems. I run my lab on vmware wrokstation 8. I closed the CentOS down and all my virtual machines. The next day when I started my VMs and tried to connect to vCloud Director whit IE browser I could not. According to KB: 2005819 my IE is 32 bit, I have JRE and Adobe Flash Player.

  Hello

  I have attached the file vmware-vcd-support to this post and log files

  Please provide the logs.

  There is an error in the file which indicates what could be the problem. I will quote the message at the end of this post in case anyone is looking for a solution to a similar problem in the future.

  This error indicates that the encryption information in the configuration file of this cell does not match the information that was used to configure (and encrypt the information contained in) your database. For example, when the cell tries to decrypt the information contained in the database, the encryption algorithm fails (which is where the strange sounding "javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: receipt final block not well padded ' error message comes of).

  It is most frequently observed in an environment of several cell when you do not use the response.properties file when you run/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/bin/configure on additional cells. The correct procedure to follow for vCD 1.5 is documented in the 'Installation software vCloud Director on other servers' section on page 31 of the installation and Configuration Guide.

  However, in your case, I suspect the problem that we see here is actually the result of your attempts to debug what was your original problem. When you have installed vCD for the first time, you have run/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/bin/configure (or said 'yes' to a prompt end installation that is in order) which produces an encryption key used to encrypt the different pieces of information in your database. After meeting the initial error, looks like you uninstalled vCD system and re-installed. If you don't have keep the encryption key or empty the database when you do, the second run/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/bin/configure would have generated a different encryption key, which does not allow to read the information stored in the database by the first system.

  At this point, you have two options. If you have the contents of the directory/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/etc of the first installation, you can use those to recover the encryption key and configure the current installation to use this value. If you do not, you can completely clear the database (for example by delete and recreate) and re - run/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/bin/configure which will create a fresh database schema, encryption of sensitive data (new) with the current encryption key. When you do that, you would be able to start the cell (but you can still run in what was your original question).

  Once you are able to start your cell, a person must be able to help debug your problem with IE (assuming that it has not been resolved by the relocation process).

• vCloud Director 1.5 device console connection is not displayed

  I have deployed vCloud Director 1.5 device in the private network. At is the configuration of the network. I ping the IP of the vCloud Director, I can access the console running on port 5480.

  https://192.168.2.38:5480 / It works.

  However, based on the rating guide, I guess to be able to do the initial Setup by access via:

  https://192.168.2.38/

  This connection cannot be configured. I have the connection to the device command line console, and run netstat - year, I don't see any process listening on port 443.

  Did I missed?

  It's strange, like the vCD device is virtually a plug-and-play operation.  Just deploy it and connect.  A couple of thoughts here...

  First, we focus on the IP addresses, you use when you configure the vCD device...  The deployment of the device, it will ask you for two IP addresses for the "network 1" and "network 2". "."  The lesser of these two IP addresses, this is what will be used for your HTTP and the higher numbered IP address will be for the Proxy of the Console.  Your right, however, it will specifically prompt you for one or the other.

  Second, if you use the device, you should not run the script configures.  The unit will take care of this for you.  Only, you would run the script configures if you were installing the binary real VCD.

  Finally, regarding your inability to you connect...  What it's like, you have the operational services.  You could also check this by using the chkconfig--list command.  From there, I try and divide the question to determine if it is a problem with connectivity, services that run on the device, or maybe even your browser.  To begin with, I would try using a different web browser than what you using your.  Normally, this should not be a problem, but it excludes the case where you have made any browser specific configurations that will be impossible to connect.  Since you know that the process of vCD are rising and running and you can access the host, then I would check to see if maybe that's a problem with just the SSL connectivity.  Once again, it would be strange if you were using the vCD device, but it's just another step to validate, right?  I know how make this the easiest would be to use openssl (which you can get for Windows or Linux).  I would just try a command like:

  #openssl s_client -connect vcd_ip:443

  and see if your able to establish an SSL connection with the cell of vCD.  Of course, you can always check the logs too.

  Hope some of these ideas help...

• 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.

• 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):

  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.

• vCloud Director or vRealize Automation?

  Hello

  I was hoping I could get some advice regarding the choice between vCloud Director and vRealize Automation. We have set up a test environment for vCloud Director however read some articles, it seems that it is a product that reaches the end of life for businesses, but not for service providers.

  So my question is a service provider should us be implementation vCloud Director or vRealize Automation? We do not want to be in a position to migrate off vCloud in a year.

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Chris

  I can't make any kind of recommendation between the two, because I don't know what you want to do with the products.

  Addressing the availability of the product and the support of it:

  vCloud Director just won't be available to independently purchase and withdrew the license of the Suite from 6.x.  You must purchase the license 5.x to get it (assuming that it is available)... This aspect, if not suite your needs right now until mid-2017 (when vCloud will end support for users of the company).  From 2017, you have to make a decision as to what will replace vCloud or continue to use vCloud Director, even if we will not offer support for it.

  VRealize Automation will meet your needs?  I do not know without knowing your use case and requirements... that is for discussion of a VMware sales representative.

  Apart from all this: VSPP is the VMware service provider program.  A version of vCloud Director will exist for them, but it is precisely for them (members of the VSPP program).  Unless you work for a member of the VSPP program, the statements above concerning vCloud Director are what you think.

  If you are Member VSPP, vCloud Director for the providers of services (5.6.x) is available as the direct vcloud Director 5.5.x successor.  Then by all means we will continue to support these versions, and it can be used to manage resources like a Cloud provider.

  I had a number of people say they are service providers, which is very beautiful.  Be a VSPP means being in a specific program of VMware, which gives access to certain things (which AFAIK is vCloud for Service providers).

  I'm not trying to be harsh or terse here, but I want to just make sure we do differentiation key on what is available to whom and how.

• Management Pack for vCloud Director (vROps) connection problem / authentication adapter?

  Hello

  I'm trying to configure the Management Pack for vCloud Director (Cloud Management Marketplace |) Solution Exchange) and I seem to be having trouble with the simplest thing. I have the Solution installed and configured for most, but for some reason usually reach out and join the vCD server, or have a kind of authentication problems. When I test the map with appropriate powers (local and LDAP in vCD), I get the error:

  Cannot establish a connection on the target system. Logon failed! using Host = < FQDN > User = < adminuser > @System

  The adapter puts the @System after him, or is this something so simple, that I'm more thinking than he. I'd be happy to post any kind of newspapers if needed, let me know what you need.

  Thanks a ton!

  You HAVE to put @system, as it should work with or without. the base public REST API URL is assigned within vCloud Director? See the manual page, installation 28...

  Have you checked for ports Firewall open between the machine virtual analytical and vCloud Director host?
