Problem with VXLAN in Vcd/ VIB install

[burnyd]

I am currently trying to prove a concept with VXLANs under VCD / Vshield Manager.  I am running into a problem where I am receiving a error while I am trying to install the vib once the vxlan piece is started.  I have even went as far as manually installing the vib or even installing it through VUM it simply will not install.

I was able to tail the esxupdates file and I am receiving the following error while trying to install the vib via VSM.

2006-01-02T22:44:03Z esxupdate: downloader: DEBUG: Downloading http://:80/eam/vib?id=6ca3e77f-5c86-4448-9812-31a104f0b550-1 to /tmp/tmpMs6jyl...

2006-01-02T22:44:03Z esxupdate: esxupdate: ERROR: An esxupdate error exception was caught:

2006-01-02T22:44:03Z esxupdate: esxupdate: ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):

2006-01-02T22:44:03Z esxupdate: esxupdate: ERROR:   File "/usr/sbin/esxupdate", line 216, in main

2006-01-02T22:44:03Z esxupdate: esxupdate: ERROR:     cmd.Run()

It is pretty obvious that with the http://:80 it does not know where the VSM is?  Is anyone familiar enough to know how to get my hosts to point to it?  I am a network person by trade.. but I know VMware well.  This is my first implementation of VXlans.

Thanks,

Dan

What error did you run into while installing it manually?

Hi Dan,

I've seen his before with issues involving this specific vib and VUM. You can work around by temporarily disabling VUM install.

1. Visit https://<VC-IP>/eam/mob/ and login with the VC credentials

2. Click on the agency in the agency list. (Likely agency-0)

3. Click on config. This should be a URL like where agency-0 is

replaced by your local agency ID:

• https://<VC-IP>/eam/mob/?moid=agency-0&doPath=config

4. Confirm the bypassVumEnabled flag is set to FALSE

5. Visit the URL: https://<VC-IP>/eam/mob/?moid=agency-0&method=Update

6. In the config field, enter the following XML data:

<config>!

<bypassVumEnabled>true</bypassVumEnabled>!

</config>!

7. The value will be set to the desired setting “true”

or “false”

8. Once the XML data is filled in, click the “Invoke Method” link.

You should be able to install the vibs accordingly. Once you've finished with that, repeat the steps and set the flag to false.

Let me know if that helps.
