On a vCenter 6.7 I want to add a 3PAR VASA Storage provider. This is working fine when both vCenter and the 3PAR Management (VASA provider) are on the same subnet.
But now I'm on 2 different subnets and the vCenter connection need to go through a Proxy server to reach the 3PAR VASA storage provider URL.
However when adding this new Storage on vCenter the request is failing
com.vmware.vim.sms.provider.ProviderFactory - Error during the validation of the provi URL java.net.SocketTimeoutException: connect timed out
My question is: how can I have the vSphere storage provider adding request going through the Proxy server to reach my VASA storage provider ? Any specific additional configuration to do?
On the VCS Appliance I do have my proxy server set at the Networking menu Level.
And by the way doing a manual wget to the VASA storage provider URL though the VCSA CLI goes as expected through the proxy (and reach the destination)
Thanks in advance, Nicolas
Why would you want it to go through a proxy? Wouldn't it normally be routed traffic from one subnet to the other?
Thanks for the question.
It is for security reason. This vCenter is behind a VPN and no routing are allowed between both subnets or better say networks.
The only way is to go through those proxy (ans so limited to HTTP/HTTPS)
