[ol1v13r]

I've the issue with importing vm from vsphere into existing vapp in vcloud director (8.0)

the following message error when i use import-civapp ...

Import-CIVApp, the vSphere server with UUID ...... is not found on this cloud Instance.

And yet I am sure that the vCenter I use is good

Any Idea ?

Code:

Connect-VIserver .... 
Connect-CIServer ... 
$vm=Get-VM test

Get-CIVapp $vappName | Import-CIVApp $vm

[ol1v13r]

Piece of code and errors:

Connect-VIserver $vcserver

Connect-CIServer $vcdserver

$vappName=GOLD

$vmname=ITGOLD

Get-CIVapp $vappName|Import-CIVApp (Get-VM -Name $vm) -ComputerName $vmname -VMName $vmname -NoCopy:$True -RunAsync

I take a look ad vcloud database,  the reference is as follows 57DFE857-C895-4CC0-A74E-B2399C88C70B

Log a call with VMWare, there is a stale entry in your vCloud Director Database. Did you rebuild Virtual Center by any chance?

[ol1v13r]

Surely.

I don't rebuild VC

I will open a case with VMware,

Hi all,

I was wondering whether you've had any updates on this. Run into the same problem ourselves and VMware are currently investigating.

They suggest the issue may be with PowerCLI working in uppercase, while the vCloud DB is set to case sensitive collation.

Example:

vCenter server UUID in vCloud DB is: ddd7f96c-8ed1-434e-82dc-a3276a5b7788

Error message we're getting in PowerCLI is: The vSphere server with UUID 'DDD7F96C-8ED1-434E-82DC-A3276A5B7788' was not found on this cloud instance.

Thanks
