Thank you for the consolidated visio icons!
Thank you Good contents.  
Good Resources, many thanks for sharing ...  
Adding to that, there is a slack channel #ux-design . In that also, you can get instant help on this.  
Great thanks for the visio shapes
Thanks for the support. Basically the problem was that our certificate store lost the trust with both vCenters. VMware had to manually re-trust the vCenters

With each release of the VMware Validated Designs, the Solutions Architecture and Information Experience teams create or update the diagrams provided in the Architecture and Design sections of the documentation. These are created as vector files with which we export the PNG files you see in the official documentation. It's my pleasure to now share the diagrams from VMware Validated Design for SDDC 6.2 in Microsoft Visio format with the community. If you have deployed or plan to deploy the VMware Validated Design, you can use these diagrams to update hostnames, IP addresses, and the like for your environment. The set includes: Standard Architecture, (Single and Multi-AZ). Management Domain Workload Domain - Virtual Infrastructure Workload Domain - vSphere with Tanzu Cloud Operations and Automation NOTE: All official diagrams for the VMware Validated Design are provided in the product documentation found at vmware.com/go/vvd-docs.

If your vCSA/vCenter is up and running without issue. Run the following: "/opt/vmware/vcf/operationsmanager/scripts/cli/pm_lookup_passwords.sh -u administrator@vsphere.local -e PSC -n 1 -s 0" Set your vCenter administrator@vsphere.local to the password supplied. Restart vCF.

  if you can check the logs /var/log/vmware/vcf/sddc-manager-ui-app/sddcManagerServer.log   also make sure the root partition on the SDDC is full there is known issue in VCF 4.2.x where root partition gets full which will cause this login issues .  SDDC Manager uses SSO from PSC . Make sure the Services are all start and PSC and VC is up and running fine.

Hey, hope you are doing well. I have the same issue, right now it's with VMware Engineering team. So far what i know is that the certificate keystore got emptied  You can validate by running this command: keytool -list -v -keystore /etc/vmware/vcf/commonsvcs/trusted_certificates.store ls -lh /etc/vmware/vcf/commonsvcs/trusted_certificates.store If the command returns a 0 it means the keystore is empty.  then you can try a restore from a backup or snapshot (in case you have)  Else escalate with VMware. 
Did you ever resolve this issue?
In the Documents area here: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Documents/tkb-p/ds_8714  
Can anyone tell me where I can find the latest icons for Validated Designs for each of these tools. Thanks

SDDC Manager is broken.  I was following along with the VVD documentation and was installing the certificates.  Everything was going just fine until I ran this: sh /opt/vmware/vcf/operationsmanager/scripts/cli/sddcmanager_restart_services.sh Now when I try to login to SDDC Manager I get this {"message":"500 - \"{\\\"errorCode\\\":\\\"IDENTITY_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR\\\",\\\"arguments\\\":[],\\\"message\\\":\\\"Identity Internal Server Error\\\",\\\"referenceToken\\\":\\\"CSQLJJ\\\"}\""} The URL is showing https://vcf01.lab.io/ui/api/internal/login/callback and if I try to change it to https://vcf01.lab.io/ui the UI looks like the attached image. Any ideas of where to look?

Hey @DonalB, In my opinion is not required at all as for example we use VVD 5.1.2 without having Skyline Collector and is still on the documentaiton. Take into account that VVD are baselines and best practices for having the products up-to-date and maximizing the utilization that the products can provide. So if you are planning to do an update, go ahead and do it by following the standards but remember that you won't need to integrate with VCF.

Hi,   An existing SDDC deployment based on VVD3.x - considering upgrade options and wondering if VCF is needed (we don't have licensing for it) and whether an upgrade to a VVD6.x aligned deployment is possible? Thanks DB
Each vRealize Operations Remote Collector (default == small) in the design uses 274GB of strorage. Disk 01 = 20 GB Disk 02 = 250GB Disk 03 = 4GB
Hi @gilpena , Adding to what @Lalegre had already mentioned in previous thread. This table should be good for reference --> Hardware Requirements for vROPS nodes
