Duplicate instance of VMware Cloud Director Availability

[Shylidi]

I'm running a Homelab with three hosts, but I've got one warning on my vCenter Appliance instance I cannot resolve. I have a duplicate, older version of a client plugin and it attempts to download it over and over. Anyone have a lead on a fix, 4 hours of google and forum reading have led to nothing.

I've attached a screenshot of the Client Plug in list, with the client id's enabled, showing two, one version 0.4.0.0 and 0.4.1.0. The second works fine, the first is broken and I believe I need to remove it...

For reference I have attempted to go to mob and used content>extension manager>unregister extension with no luck.

I apologize if this is the wrong area to post, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[mgiurgeu]

this worked for me (VCSA 7.0.1)

No luck with the instruction. I can't even find lstool.py

The whole vmware-lookupsvc directory is missing ???

[bryanvaneeden]

Are you using an external Platform Services Controller (PSC)?

[joelau007]

Apologies my mistake, mixed up the IPs and logged into the wrong box.

The instruction works thanks all.

(No thanks to VMware though, high CPU bug, now plug-in bug)

solution worked for me!

[Ajay1988]

Seems you have few critical services down. Please check 

[Ajay1988]

Great. Appreciate if you can mark which solution worked for you

[kluusi]

This ist the status of the services on our vcsa:

Don't know if one of the stopped services should run ?

Thanks and BR

[Ajay1988]

That seems perfect. Can u share the exact command used and the version and build of VCSA?

[bryanvaneeden]

Did you try a reboot (I'm guessing you did). It does look like all services are running fine though. Are you sure you executed the correct code?

[kluusi]

Hi together,

- reboot was done

- I have Version: 7.0.1.00200 with Build-Nummer 17327517

- Command to get the ID:

/usr/lib/vmware-lookupsvc/tools/lstool.py list --product com.vmware.h4 --url http://localhost:7090/lookupservice/sdk

I get:

OMG - after i looked at my own reply i saw my stupid mistake - typed in the wrong port-number . Sorry for that and THX to all. It's running now.

@kluusi Great that everything is now working. I figured it should be something in the command!
