vSphere with Tanzu error loop while enabling

[VvM-42]

Hi!

I've successfully enabled Workload Management in my lab environment (physical) with vDS in a 3 NIC configuration.

If I now try the same in my production environment it starts immediately with a loop creating and destroying the resourcepool "Namespaces". In the wcpsvc.log I can see the error that the vpxd-extension-xxx user should not exist, but I can see this user in Global Permissions with the role Administrator and it's the user the task is running with...

2020-10-24T10:57:31.691Z info wcp [opID=5f93f45e-domain-c9] Created workloads RP ResourcePool:resgroup-158764 for cluster domain-c9

Does anybody have a suggestion for me?

Best regards, Volker

Hey,

I'm running into the same issue, have you made any progress?

Hello Cubea,

Yes, it's runnig!
I got help from the professional German company evoila. They made a deep dive into my vCenter.
The said to me that "the localOS was not correct registered as identity provider and therefore the discovery of the vpxd users is not working correctly". They fixed it, I don't know how, and after that the role out of Workload Management worked.

Best regards, Volker
