Unable to integrate with vCloud Director - Compute resources data collection failed

[him_ng]

Hi,

We are trying to integrate vCloud Director with vCAC but failed.

In short.

vCD

- Organizational VDCs - Reservation Pool

When performing data collection in Compute Resources, it failed with error.

"Workflow "vCloudInventory" failed with the following exception:  Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Stack Trace

"at  DynamicOps.VCloudModel.Interface.VCloudManagementServices.GetOrgVdcNetworks(String  vdcId)    at  DynamicOps.VCloudModel.Activities.VCloudGetOrgVdcNetworks.Execute(CodeActivityContext  context)    at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance  instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager)    at  System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor  executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)"

Please help.

Many thanks

Do your OrgVDC have an errant or no network?  There is a known issue that there must be at least one valid network on the OrgVDC you are trying to manage.  This could break data collection for other organizations so if there is a "test" organization, it would be best to go to the compute resources page under enterprise administrator and remove any such resources from management.

This issue has been logged and is to be fixed in the next release.

solved with thanks.

same as your finding.

Hi there.

I'm also struggling with data collection between vCAC and vCloud Director infrastructure tenants. I have managed to successfully connect vCAC to vCenter for provisioning to a vSphere endpoint, but each time I try to connect to a vCloud Organisation I get the error about checking the endpoint address and/or credentials.

I'm interested in this idea that errant networks might/will cause an issue with endpoint data collection. As it happens, I do have a 'Test' Org in vCD, but all the Organisations in this vCD instance have networks with connected VMs (including the 'Test' Org).

Are there any other issues not widely reported that prevent data collection, or somewhere I might find more information about which networks in vCD might be affecting the data collection? Looking in the logs, this isn't that informative to be honest.....

Any thoughts gratefully received.

Cheers.

Jeremy.

Did anyone ever find a solution to this?  I'm having the same problem.  From the DEM Worker logs:

Workflow "vCloudEndpointDataCollection" failed with the following exception:

Me too. Finally I set the "organization" as blank at the vCloud Director endpoint configure page. It worked fine.
