• vCloud Director network configuration external network

  Hi all! For the configuration of external network within vCloud Director, I have a vDS configured with several groups of ports.  Each port group has a tag of vlan specific and no trunking.  My question is when I create the external network I can use the port group specific enumerated or what I need to set up a completely separate portgroup for this?  Also, if I can you my existing port groups that are specifically for each company in our environment, when I continue to configure the external network and click on finish, or if it cause a breakdown to the virtual machines currently in this group of port?  Thanks in advance for all help!

  If you use directly connect external Org network, then the existing portgroup will work.  If you use an external org routed network, then edge will be created using the portgroup you specified for the external network and creating a new portgroup for the routed network ext org portion.

• 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).

• 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...

• vCloud Director: the SSL creation

  Hello

  I am beginner in vmware. I installer 5.1 esxi, vcenter server 5.1 and Manager vshield. When I try install vcloud director, I stuck to the creation of the certificate SSL.car the Uzhgorod/opt/vmware/vcloud-director is not found!.

  How Doi - I do?

  Thank you

  The first part of the installation is to install the vCloud Director application (e.g., RPM).  This process should create a path on the Linux system:
  / opt/VMware/vCloud-Director.
  Once this operation is completed, ask you if you want to run the script 'configure '.  Before that, you must have created the SSL certificates.  Therefore, you will need to refuse to run the script 'configure' right now.
  There are steps in the manual to create certificates.  See:
  http://pubs.VMware.com/VCD-51/topic/com.VMware.ICbase/PDF/vcd_51_install.PDF
  Page - 17
  You will need to make a file of keys with two certificates, one with the alias "http" and the other with the alias "consoleproxy".
  Once you have the key file build, make sure that the user name "vcloud" cannot read this file.  This can be done with the command 'chown' Linux.
  Now, we can try to run the Setup script:
  / opt/VMware/vCloud-Director/bin/configure

• 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.

• vShield Edge 5.1.2 load balancing HTTPS health check possible?

  Hello

  We expect configure edge gateway Load Balancing Service using vCloud Director 5.1.2 and vCloud network and security 5.1.2

  Is it possible to configure health checking with HTTPS and configure the URI to use for the control?

  Best regards

  jmarschall

  Hello

  You have 3 options to check on the edge of health:

  1 TCP: checking the simple TCP connection

  2 HTTP: sends HTTP GET using either the default value {/}, which is accessible by default on almost any server, but may be changed to any other URI.

  3 HTTPS: sends hello SSLv3 client messages and check the server Hello coming from the virtual machine. No URI is included.

  If you CAN do health checks for HTTPS, but NOT for any custom URI. Instead, it checks for valid SSL beyond the normal TCP communications.

• vCloud Director 5.1 with vco 5.5 plugin configuration

  I installed the plugin for vCloud director 5.1 in vCenter Orchestrator 5.5, the plug-in installed very well with the certificate that I imported from the url. However, configure the plug-in is another story, when I go to set up the plug-in of the customer or in the page web configuration, I get "failed to connect with the user name. My authorization of vco is configured with LDAP, so is my vCloud Director. In the client workflow 'Add link' vco for vCloud director, my selections are the url to vCloud, port 443, active, max 600 connections, the connection times out 20000 ms, session mode by user, the use and organization system SAML authentication Session. I followed the instructions of the Plugin VMware vCenter Orchestrator Documentation Centre . I tried to configure the plug-in as a shared user and I get the same error. I tried to configure the plugin in the web configuration page and it excludes the host that is the url to vCloud, but I do not see an inventory after that restart services vco and vco customer return logging. My vCloud infrastructure is set up with 2 cells and her sitting behind a vShield load balancing.  If I try to configure the plugin to go directly to one of my cells the workflow times out. I have a request of service opened with vmware, but I hope someone else has experienced this problem or might have a few suggestions that will point me in the right direction.

  Thank you

  Changing the IP of my vco did the trick. When I set up the server of vco, I put it on the same subnet as my vcd cells. While my load balancer was on a separate subnet. Assigning the vco server an ip address on a different subnet allowed transmitted traffic of the vco through the load balancer, solve my problem of time-out.

• vCloud Director vCloud connector installation

  I can access my vCloud knot web server interfaces and fine, but when I try to register that a node with the server is just completely turns off. The VCC server can ping the SCR node with the NATed IP of 192.168.60.24.

  If I go to the server and I click the button on Client vSphere or cloud.vmware.com I see this error and that doesn't look good.

  I have completely open ports in firewall for these two vApps and not *'s everywhere, and it always shows the same errors.

  I was able to complete the vCloud connector install with zero problems when I just did a normal vSphere OVF import save it on my server vCenter. This isn't a problem with the OVFs.

  Thanks for any help.

  I have not tried.  Of course in my setup, my NŒUD is vCloud with a NAT address and which works very well.  It is the SCR is the issue because it needs access to vCenter Server.  You can try to use an external live... or just move right in vCenter

• 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.

• 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.

• vCloud Director 5.5 device - limits

  Hi all

  Is there any vmware document that specifies the boundaries of the vCloud Director 5.5 device? I know it is trial / PoC and should not be used in a Production Env, but I am interested in a CEP more complex and has been reading here: the vCloud Director unit. VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs limitations:

  Now the vCloud Director device it has some limitations.  As it is only intended for vCloud Director assessments, the scale of the deployment is limited to:

  • A cell of vCloud Director
  • Two vCenter servers
  • 10 VDC organization
  • 100 virtual machines
  • Up to 11 GB of information stored in the database shipped

  Being a former link, I'm sure that is more up-to-date and these limitations have increased, but would like to find something about it.

  I know it supports CentOS, but unfortunately in this PoC I do not have a Windows Server (will also use the vCenter device) and any database.

  Thanks in advance for any comments.

  We produce is no longer the device.  One of the limitations would be so you don't have updates for it.  The limits are generally the same as what you posted.

  CentOS support any really, since the device is produced as a black box.  SuSE or CentOS according to what version it is.  The embedded DB have size limits.

  If you do a CEP more complex, I suggest to use the BIN on CentOS Installer and have at least 2 vCloud Director of cells in a load balanced configuration.  Several cells is something you just can't do with the device.

• How VPN from my PC at home to my network of vCloud Director?

  Greetings.

  I would like to than VPN from my home to my vCloud network office. I have a vDC on vCloud Director 1.5 (offers my provider, I know it's outdated), and it is connected to the internet with a static external IP address - 203.59*.x.x. The vDC has 2 virtual machines.

  -J' did some reading and found where to configure VPN site to site network properties. After clicking on "Activate VPN site-to-site", what do I do next? If I add > remote network, I'm supposed to fill my 'peer IP' - that is the IP assigned randomly my ADSL modem gets to the internet service provider? It feels useless, because it changes whenever I'm in again. What is my "door of peers"? Is it my home router, 10.1.1.1?

  -In addition, how one configures the VPN dialer on the desktop itself? When I tried it, it prompted me to add a user name and a password, but there was no requirement these when I enabled VPN on vCloud Director.

  The documentation, I found online about this reference to vCloud Director 5.1, which is not what I use, or difficult for me to understand. A guide step by step would be great. Long story short, I have no idea of what I'm doing and could use some help. Thank you.

  Site to another looks to fill two networks via VPN.  This config page you are looking at is saying connect this vShield edge gateway to another VPN device at a remote location.  the? is the IP at the remote location configuration.

  I don't think it's like a PPTP or OpenVPN connection as you would get on DD - WRT or something like that.  It's just a site to join sites, not Client Server (the server, you are the customer).  Although it may be possible, I did not do.
