Installation Order

HALOTEQ — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:56:58 GMT

Hey all,
we just loaded ESX on 2 hosts, installed VMware 3.5 (waiting for 4.0). This is our first installation.

Can someone provide a software installation order when adding the other plug-ins. I want to be sure not to miss any prereqs and do not want to load out of order

Thanks!

e.g.

ESX
VMware 3.5
Update Manager
Orchestrator
etc......

Plugin error after changed login user

cbader — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:01:19 GMT

I had a running VMware Orchestration installation. We needed to change the user used to login into vSphere from VMware Orchestration. We noticed after the user change Orchestrator was still using the old user. We restarted the Orchestrator service and now can't connect to the vCenter 4.0 plug-in. We changed the user back and restarted the service and still can't connect to the plug-in. Is there somewhere I can look to figure this out?

SSH plugin login problem and solution

siayiu — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 14:16:02 GMT

Setup:

3 SSH Servers

ESX 4
OSX 10.6
SUSE

Workflow to run: "SSH Execute command"

connect using password

Result:

ESX4: success
OSX 10.6: failed with error:

Connecting with password

Unable to execute command InternalError: Auth fail (Workflow:SSH Execute command / Execute SSH Command (item6)#14) (Workflow:SSH Execute command / Execute SSH Command

SUSE: failed with above error

Fix: SUSE & OSX sshd_config had keyword PasswordAuthentication no

Commenting it out (or change it to yes on SL) and reloading SSHD fixed it

Certificate Error importing Solar System example Package

BlueDevilDan — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:45:09 GMT

Finally getting back to trying this plugin thing

I successfully installed the plugin and restarted the service as required.

Then, from the Orchestrator client I went to the Packages section and selected to import the file com.vmware.documentation.examples.package from the example.

I got an error popup stating "pkg-signer found but no certificate found for name : C=CH,OU=VMware Inc,O=VMware Inc,CN=VMware" and the package did not import

What am I missing ?

siayiu — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 16:07:09 GMT

did this in haste with only 20 min of work. It works, but might require some clean up.

Orchestrator 4.0 LDAP Config

jim1096 — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:54:23 GMT

PLEASE HELP! My sanity is at risk...

I am trying to configure LDAP in Orchestrator but keep getting the error: LDAP connection successful but no users found. Please check LDAP paths.

my user lookup base is: ou=users,DC=SG,DC=com

I read in an earlier post that changing the ou to CN in front of Users helped but that hasn't been the case for me.

The OU Users certainly exists and I created the a group VMO_Administrators and added the administrator to that group.

I am stumped!

LCM SOAP API examples?

jswager1 — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:53:24 GMT

Are there any examples of the LCM SOAP API? There is the API document at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmo_api.pdf, but the document contains only the barest description of the methods and objects. For example, the "find" method indicates it can be used to perform queries, but there is no details on how to perform the queries. There is just a string parameter called Query. But there are no guidelines, instructions, or anything regarding what to put into that parameter.

Is this the wrong group for such a question?

If the LCM web pages use the SOAP API, and there's a way to intercept the SOAP messages, then I guess I could sort of reverse-engineer my way through the various commands. But I'm not certain that the LCM web pages use the SOAP API and I'm not sure how I would get the webserver to show me the SOAP messages.
