Hi Nitin,

Please provide answers for below questions.

How the issue started ?

Are you attaching vCenter to vCloud for first time ?

What is the version of vCloud and vCenter and DB (SQL/Oracle)

Check the vCloud-Container-info and debug logs and search the keyword WFU, it should be stuck on a loop and should be looking for a value.

Can you upload the vCloud-debug and vcloud-info logs here ? (you can find it in /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/logs.)

A vCenter must sync before you can perform operations with it.  Unl;ess the vCenter is having issues or is really large it should only take minutes.

If it is "stuck" (and this can happen) you might need to kick the system a little.

Has the process for shutting down and clearing the schedule tables.  This in many cases can get things going again if vCloud just got confused.

Make sure to backup the database to make sure if something goes wrong you have a way to recover.
