vCD 8.20 - VAAI Check-box Grayed Out
Hi,
I need someone to explain to me how VAAI works in vCloud Director.
In our vCloud Director 8.20 the check-box for "Enable VAAI for Fast provisioning" is grayed out for my Datastore Cluster?
All the ESXi 6.0 hosts support HW Acceleration in our environment.
The Storage array is HPE 3PAR 8440.

vROPS Tenant vApp - VM names in billing?
I have integrated vROPS with vCD, and everything is working fine as expected, however I notice that bills that are generated have VM names that reflect the names in vSphere and not the names in vCloud Director:
Other parts of the Tenant App shows the names from vCloud Director:
Is this particular to my setup, or does anyone else also experience these problems?

Feature Request: Add vApp/VM owner to VMs
In vCloud Director, it's hard to see who within an organization owns a specific VM or vApp.
This is the default view, and an overview of which columns we can choose:
I would suggest adding "vApp Owner" or "vApp Creator" to the available columns for easier filtering.

Change default sizes for VMs?
Hi,
Is it possible to change the default values when creating new VMs?
There's Small, Medium, Large at the moment, and we'd like to modify the configurations these VMs have.
Any suggestions?

Use VPN tunnel as default route for all traffic
Hi All,
We have a provider that hosts a vCloud environment where we run production servers.
We have a separate provider for a centralized hosted firewall where we manage our public internet traffic, VPN tunnels, etc.
What I'd like to know for discussing with our vCloud provider: Is it possible to create a VPN tunnel in the vmware environment and route ALL vDC traffic (remote sites, public internet traffic, everything) across the tunnel to be handled by our hosted firewall?
From what I've heard back so far this is not possible as the VPN will not accept 0.0.0.0/0 in any form as a remote network on the tunnel but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
Thanks,
Jared

Deleted VDC-Error
Hello!
I Have vCloud Director 8.20, I have several VDC with the same errors. Screenshot attached.
VDC with errors was created, VDC does not exist in vSphere. Deletion leads to errors, but no action takes place on the sphere. How can I remove VDC from vCloud?

a call for help
Hey VMWare community (I'm hoping I chose the correct community to post this), my company Vista Net inc. is currently assisting in recovery efforts for victims of the Camp Fire in northern California. I've sent a few Tweets and FB posts regarding our situation, but haven't heard from anyone yet, so I thought I'd give it a go here. Essentially we are looking for datacenter equipment (switches and servers- preferably ready nodes, but will work with anything) to build up separate stacks in our VCPP cloud systems at our data-center to allow for temporary low/no cost hosting and recovery alternatives for our colleagues who have lost their businesses in the fire. If anyone has, or knows of anyone that might have, "old/decommissioned/retired demo/shiny new/willing to part with" equipment to assist in our efforts, please message me. We can return the equipment once we have secured all of the networks back on their original systems.
Thanks!

Quick tip when SAML suddenly fails for tenants
So, I just encountered an error where vCD suddenly would not authenticate our SAML users with ADFS SSO.
After some troubleshooting, I found this in vcloud-container-debug.log:
org.opensaml.xml.validation.ValidationException: Signature is not trusted or invalid
org.opensaml.common.SAMLException: Response doesn't have any valid assertion which would pass subject validation
As it turns out, our ADFS servers had recently issued new self-signed certs for token-decryption and token-signing, and today they started to use these new certificates causing the vCD SAML connection to fail. In order to resolve this, I had to download SAML2 metadata XML file again and import it in Federation setting on vCD for this tennant. After doing so, things started to work properly again.
Just a quick tip if anyone else runs in to this issue..
This guide was used to set up the SAML2 from start:

Big thanks to that author!

Unable to greate Edge Gateway as OrgAdmin
Hi,
My users that are assigned the Organization Administrator role are unable to create Edge Gateways both on HTML5 and FlexUI.
However, as System Administrator I can create Edge Gateways.
Is this a known restriction, and is there any way to circumvent it?

vcloud director 9.5 setup question
Hi Team,
Setup:-
vcloud director 9.5 setup with 2 VCD cells.We are going to use NSX edge service for load balancing.Whenever customer access from internet,load should be balanced between the below 2 cells.
We are going to install VCD 9.5 on 2 cells(cluster setup).
VCD1--> 10.1.1.10
VCD2--> 10.1.1.13
My doubt is about VCD http & console proxy.Should i use separate IP address for http & console proxy ? or single IP address is fine to configure ? I mean only VCD ip address only(10.1.1.10 & 10.1.1.13)
VCD1--> 10.1.1.10
http-->10.1.1.11
Console proxy--> 10.1.1.12
VCD2--> 10.1.1.13
http-->10.1.1.14
Console proxy--> 10.1.1.15
Please clarify. We have 50 customers and all the customers will access through web.

Getting confused because of below statement.

I have a newly deployed vCloud Director 9.1. All seems to be fine, but I cannot enter into the console with FQDN (like https://vcloud.mycompany.local) but works ok using the IP (https://10.1.0.100).
Could someone point me in the right direction?

Network Pool not attaching to vDS in vCD
Hey guys,
I've been working on this issue for the past few days with Support and it's not getting anywhere. Was hoping someone here could help.
We added a new Resource Pool to our pVDC. This is an L3 spine/leaf environment and the cluster is on a dedicated vDS. This cluster has been added to the same Transport Zone as the other clusters. In vCloud Director (9.1.0) I am able to see the new vDS, and I am able to import the Resource Pool into the provider vDC. However, when viewing the vDS under "Switches & Port Groups", the vDS shows it's part of 0 Network Pools. vCD won't allow VMs to be created in this Resource Pool when they are attached to any of the existing port groups. If I create a VM with any networks, the VM will be created, but vCD errors when I attempt to power on the VM after attaching an existing network.
If I migrate a VM to the new Resource Pool via vCenter, that VM is able to communicate with the other VMs in the port group. This leads me to believe it is not a NSX issue.
Some steps we've tried already:
* Reconnecting vCenter to vCD
* Destroying the vDS and recreating
* Redeploying all NSX components
* Adding Resouce Pool as a new Provider vDC - During the add process it does not show any of the existing network pools
* Rebooting and doing a re-prepare on all hosts
Has anyone ever seen this issue and/or have any ideas to try to resolve this issue?
Thanks

Cannot connect to vCloud Director Web Console after changing IP
Hello
I was build vCloud Director v5.5.
Then I changed network information for management our environment.
But I cannot Cannot connect to vCloud Director Web Console after changing IP with the error below.
===
"The page cannot be displayed"
===
When vcloud director build, the network information were wrote to database. Is this correct?
I think the issue's cause that I changed network information after build vcloud director, the information has no consistent.
If my thinking is correct, please tell me how to resolved the issues.

VM migration to vCloud director
Hi Guys,
I have few doubts about VM migration to vcloud director.
Setup:-
I have different customer vCenter servers.
VC1--> 20 VMs
VC2---> 30 VMs
VC3---->40 VMs
Im going to setup a new vCenter server ""VC4""" along with vcloud director this week.After setting up,we need move all the customer VMs to vcloud director(vCD).
How to accomplish this task ?
1) Migrate VMs from vCenter server(VC1,VC2,VC3) to vCenter server(VC4) and import it to VCD(import option is ther in vCD vapps) ? Is this best option or any other direct option is available to vCD directly ?
Please check and suggest.
Thank you guys,

vCloud Director 9.5 with PostGress
Hello
We are designing a migration from SQL cluster to a PostgreSQL.
Currently we have set-up a SQL HA cluster where we have automatic fail-over of the DB Servers.
We want to have this also in our PostgreSQL setup.
Does anyone have experience with one of these products or is there a reference architecture for this?

NSX Upgrade NSX Upgrade - 6.3.5 ==> 6.4.3 vs vCD , vCSA
Hi.
If during NSX upgrade should i enable some maintenance mode on shutdown CELLS on vCD ?
I found this sentence in documentation:
"Upgrading NSX Manager interrupts access to NSX administrative functions but does not interrupt network services. You can upgrade NSX Manager before or after you upgrade vCloud Director, whether or not any vCloud Director cells are running." - link
In my understanding i can perform NSX Upgrade ( all components) with active vCD cells.
This is true ?

Use vCD firewall to limit conversation between two VMs to certain protocols
vCloud Director 5.5.3
Hi
I have a vApp with ~30 VMs. I want to test a situation where two of the VMs in my vApp must communicate through a firewall. Specifically, I want to set up this firewall to only allow the ssh protocol to be used to communicate between these two systems.
Within the vApp, I click the Networking tab, right-click the network used to connect the VMs and select 'Configure Services...'. I click the Firewall tab, select 'Enable firewall', for 'Default action' I select Allow. When I click Ok then Apply, I see that all of my VMs can communicate with each other. So far, so good.
I again select 'Configure Services...', click the Firewall tab, and click Add to add a specific firewall rule. As an initial test, I want to create a rule that will block all access between two of the VMs in my vApp. In the 'Add Firewall Rule' page, I select/enter:
Enabled [checked]
Name: "Block access between A and B"
Source: 192.168.2.108
Source port: any
Destination: 192.168.2.125
Destination port: any
Protocol: any
Action: Deny
Log network traffic for firewall rule [checked]
I've clicked Ok on the 'Edit Firewall Rule' page, clicked 'OK' on the 'Configure Services...' page, and then clicked 'Apply' on the vApp' 'Networking' page. When I go back into 'Configure services...', Firewall tab, I see that the rule that I created has a green check in the Enabled column.
Yet, when I log in to 192.168.2.108, I'm able to ping 192.168.2.125.
As a test, I clicked the Networking tab, right-clicked the network used to connect the VMs and select 'Configure Services...'. I clicked the Firewall tab, selected 'Enable firewall', for 'Default action' I selected Deny. When I click Ok then Apply, I found that all of the VMs in my vApp could not communicate with each other. So, I see that the firewall must be functional.
What could I have done wrong to have this not work? Have I run into a defect in vCD 5.5.3?
Thanks!
