Stop-Vapp returns operation timed out.

[StoneLund]

Hi

I have a simple script that i want to power off a VAPP.

The script looks like this:

#Connect Vcenter

connect-viserver xx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Stop-VApp xxxx -confirm:$false

I executes and starts to shutdown the first three servers in the VAPP. However, before this task is done. It failes with the OperationTimeOut status.

These three servers however continues to shut down, but, the script does not move on to the next group in the VAPP. I have a 20 secund wait before it shall move on and continue to shut down the rest.

I have changed the timeout value in the virtual center server (Administration, vCenter server settings and timout to 600 seconds for normal and 1200 seconds for long. It dit not make any difference.

The full error is: (xxxxx is where the resgroup and vAPP names are).

Stop-VApp : 2012-04-25 15:59:13    Stop-VApp        The operation for the entit

y VirtualApp-resgroup-xxxxxxx failed with the following message: "Operation timed

out."

At line:1 char:10

+ Stop-VApp <<<<  xxxxxx -confirm:$false

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Stop-VApp], Timedout

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Client20_TaskServiceImpl_CheckServerSideTaskUpda

   tes_OperationFailed,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.StopVApp

Anyone know what could be wrong?

Does the Stop-vApp times out after 15 minutes ?

Perhaps try the solution in KB1017253.

Is there any more info in the $error variable after the timeout ?

Do a

$error[0]

$error[0].Exception

Did you check the vCenter log for additional info ?

I get the time out error after like 30 seconds or something after it has started the shutdown of the first group of machines in the VAPP. I will check more logfiles tomorrow!

This is some error logs i got from vcenter. Typing $error[0]

$error[0].Exception in the powercli did not return any data. Maybe there is some variable that sets the timeout to 50000ms somewhere??
