Hi all,
after reinstalling the 2 stand-by cells as suggested by GSS due to a network failure, I redeployed the cells, and all seemed going well.
All 3 cells are in active status from VCD GUI, they are all running for any of their 5480 console but..... but executing
tail -f /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/logs/cell.log
on both of them the process stops at
Application Initialization: 'com.vmware.vcloud.common.core' 81% complete. Subsystem 'com.vmware.vcloud.presentation-api-impl' started
And after a while it restart from the beginning:
Bootstrap application: start
Time is in sync, VCD Version is 10.1.2.16779297, do you have any idea about it?
Thank you
Raff

The issue seems related to Cassandra performances DB.
After removing it with
/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/bin/cell-management-tool cassandra –clean
and restrting the service on the cells, all came back working normally, finishing the bootstrap process successfully.
I repeated the procedure to reinsert the DB, so, removing the keyspace on the Cassandra ckuster and reecreating the schema on the primary cell. This brght me at the initial point: stand-by cells unoperable, restarting after waiting for Cassandra connection.
The answer came from virtualizationage's blog, here: https://virtualhow.wordpress.com/2020/02/04/vcd97-cass/
and it was a simple line to set in the global.properties of all the cells connecting to Cassandra:
cassandra.use.ssl = 0
Hope this could help.
