Thanks for your response Eric. Can you pls tell me how to backup the vSM devices?? I have tried using the backup option on the web interface and it never seem to work.

Thanks Chris. I have one more follow up question. Would be great if you can give me your opinion on this one. I am in the planning to upgrade my vCloud 1.5 environment to 5.1. I am currently running a single cell vcenter 5.0 and ESX 5.0 environment. I am not going to upgrade vcenter and ESXi to 5.1 now, but will later. Below are the steps I am going to follow. 1. Upgrade vcloupd to 5.1 2. Upgrade the DB 3. Restart vcd service 4. Upgrade vshiel manager to 5.0 vshield network and security manager. I have VCNI pools configured. I read some where that 5.1  supports only VXLAN. Can someone pls tell me if I am going to have issues with vapps running with VCNI confiugrations?? Also pls advice if upgrading only vCD and vSM to 5.1 and leaving vcenter and ESXi at 5.0 will create any problems on exiting VMs?? Pls advice if my upgrade plan is correct. Thanks, Yaseen

We are looking to upgrade vCloud directory from 1.5.1 to 5.1. This also includes adding another vcenter as a new provider vDC to leverage the new server and storage infrastructure. At the moment we have 1 vcenter with 2 cluster. One for management and one is a provider vDC for all the existing org vDCs. Storage is coming from a clarion CX4 array. Now we have 4 new Cisco UCS blade servers and an new VNX array. I want to upgrade vCloud to 5.1 first and then build a new vcenter, attach these new hosts to that, carve out new datastores and attach this vcenter to vCloud and create an new provider vDC from it. I would like to know if its possible to add this new provider vDC to existing vDCs even though its coming from a different vcenter?? Also how will the templates in catalog be shared between the 2 provider vDCs?? Thanks, Yaseen
Thanks Aryan. So is the vcenter limit in vcenter 5 also 128 tasks??

Can someone tell me if there is a limit on concurrent jobs in vcloud director?? I know in vcenter 4, there was 8 concurrent job limit, since the under lying infrastrucutre is still vcenter, do we have to be carefull about setting more concurrent deployments?? I am running vCD 1.5.1 with vSphere 5 as under lying infrasturcutre. Thanks, Yaseen
Have you tried rescanning your datastores??
Yes. You can add multiple clusters to an existing provider vDC. Click on the provider vDC and the last tab is Resource Pools. You can link the new cluster in linked vcenter from here. Consider... See more...

Make sure you have you vCD proxy nic connected and communication. If not vCD service will keep dying.

Its actaully called just "Preferences". It should be on top right corner of your screen, right next to your login id. I see this in 1.5.0. I am guessing it would not have changed in 1.5.1.

Thanks for the response morpheus. So you think only way for me to have 2 external networks is by having 2 differnt direct connections at every org level?? In my opinion is very badly scaleable model. If I want to maintain only one direct connection, only way would to be split the same vlan is it??
Yes. Max you can set is 5 days. You can change this by modifying user preferences. Consider awarding points if you think answer is correct.
Shut down the vApp, right click and select copy to. Destination can either be your cloud space of a catalog. Consider awarding points if you think answer is correct.

I select "Always use assigned IP addresses" for some of my vApps in which VMs have ip dependency. According to documentation, if i select this option, even when i power off the vapp, it should maintain the same ip when i power it back on. But this does not seem to work. Everytime i power off and power on the vapp it gets a different external ip address. Is this option only to maintain org or vapp ip address or will it maintain same external ip address?? Pls suggest. -Yaseen
