VM Discovered on vCenter

[Lionel17]

Hi,

I've another quick issue or mistake on our vCloud suite infrastructure.

For a customer we have a vCAV side with the replicated VM and also one VM domain controller continiously up on the vCloud Organisation of this client.

From i've inventoried this VM on the Organisation, the vCenter add a new empty repository each hour (i think) under the organisation, example of the vCenter navigator view :

- vcenter server

     - Cluster

          - Provider VDC

               - Organisation VDC

                    - VM1 directory

                    - VM2 directory

                    - ... directory

                    - DC added manualy directory (id)

                    - DC added manualy directory (id)

                    - DC added manualy directory (id)

                    - DC added manualy directory (id)

                    - DC added manualy directory (id)

                    - DC....

My first reflex was to move this VM to another directory out of the organization and remove the empty directories but there's no effect.

The directories continue to be created periodicaly.

An idea ?

I like this community... The only help that i found is by myself ! :smileymischief:

So, following my issue i've tried some actions and the only that works is :

- Shutdown the VM

- Unregister the VM

- Register the VM out of the vCloud Organization

vCloud doesn't retry to inventor the VM and don't create directory each time he try.

I hope that will be helpfull for any people facing the same issue.

Hi everybody,

If any one read me or read this i'm happy to give more details and a better way to my old issue.

The way i've propose to add a VM to an organization was not really good and this way was not able to show the permanent VM to the vCloud portal.

I've been forced to rework on this issue and i've taked the problem by another side, and the right way is to use the Import a Virtual Machine as a vApp .

I wish that's will be usefull for anyone.

Regards
