I have a couple of clusters that are using DVS for all the networking and I can not create a reservation for that cluster because no network paths show up. Anyone else seen this and how did you get around it?
Cheers!
Have you checked if the data collection for the compute resource is happening without issues?
Just checked the logs and everything appears to look good. I see all the hosts and all the VMs. 3 clusters in that site with 1 showing the network and the other two are not showing any network ports with the same type symptoms in other site. weird!
If you look at the vSphere Proxy Agent logs, are you seeing the data collection happening on the cluster and all of the values showing up there? It almost seems like the specific proxy agent isn't working, or the credential you're using for it doesn't have the necessary permissions to do what it needs to do..
Yes using the vsphere agent and the logs look clean in that I see everything in the site as well as the dvs portgroups so it appears that it would not be permissions issue although I verified that account that is being used is an administrator in vCenter.
Another interesting symptom is that along with the network port groups showing up, the storage cluster is greyed out so the cluster could not be selected just the individual datastores
So! I just had a cluster in my dev instance that wasn't showing any datastores or portgroups, so I went and took a look at the cluster.. For some reason (this particular one isn't really used for vCAC provisioning), there wasn't an available datastore to provision to, so I added my general-purpose NFS datastore, then ran a data collection against that cluster, and voila, everything showed up to make a reservation. Not sure if the problem was the datastore (wouldn't make sense for the networking side), but if you haven't tried doing a manual refresh / update, try that and see what happens. Might be effective to tail the log on the proxy agent while it's happening and see what it shows while the collection process is running...
Steve, did you ever figure out what was causing this? I have the opposite issue now on a test VCAC 6.1 setup..... I can see storage when creating a reservation, but I can't see any of the distributed port groups even though there are 3.
I'm considering pulling the plug and reinstalling since this installation has been through hell. Thanks in advance!
