Hi,
I'm building a lab environment of vRA but the installation of vRA won't succeed. I keep getting the error below:
++ vracli ceip status --raw
++ awk '{print tolower($0)}'
+ ENABLE_TELEMETRY=false
+ kubectl -n prelude create configmap telemetry-config --from-literal=collectorIdSvc=vcac.8_0 --from-literal=endpointEnv=production
Error from server (Forbidden): configmaps "telemetry-config" is forbidden: unable to create new content in namespace prelude because it is being terminated
I've already applied the fixes sugessted in:
Error Deploy vra 8.0.1 in vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager Refers to KB76053 and KB76870
Is there anything else I can try?
Hi,
Did you find a fix? I'm having the same issue and tried all the suggestions in the kb's as well
The fix in KB76870 finally worked for me. I had to copy and paste the "sed ....." apparently i was making typos
This is the problem in your log file
/var/log/deploy.log
ERROR: Unable to configure database.

This is well know issue in the installation. you should first check the log for "/var/log/deploy.log" to identify exactly what is the error if you found that the error
[ Error: Unable to configure database. vco-server-app is waiting to start] and this due to the vco-server-app trying to start but failed due to the builtin password expired .
you can run "kubectl get pods -n prelude" to check this service.
SO the resolution in this link VMware Knowledge Base
Thank you for your response, I'm currently working on the deployment and shall post the findings shortly
I too cannot progress with the installation of a 3-node vRA 8.1 cluster past the error LCMVRAVACONFIG590003. Tried workaround from both https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/76870 and https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/76053 , none worked.
It did work with 8.1 in the past, when I have deployed it as a single-instance installation, and later scaled out into 3-node cluster. However somehow the services ran into errors, deployments started to fail and I have tried to redeploy the cluster, but a fresh isntallation does not seem to work.
Today I updated IDM to the latest version and added the product binaries for vra 8.1.0, adter a inventoryrun I decided to try the deployment again but then with 8.1.0 instead of 8.0.1. I've attached the logs.
This time i verrified and doublechecked the info in VMware Knowledge Base The mentioned line was changed and saved and I've retried 2 times. I've also retried the deployment twice...
I'm lost here, what can I do to help track down this issue.
After the failure I did a: kubectl get pods -n prelude
All pods seems to be there...

Also when I try to verrify the vco error:

Error from server (Timeout): the server was unable to return a response in the time allotted, but may still be processing the request (get pods vco-app-777f55b8cf-4gpmv)
the services taking time to work and operate, I see all the services running. better as you are in a lab to build every thing from scratch without any upgrade and try.
Hi MostafaElSayedFahmy,
Ok, so I deleted everything (IDM/LCM/vRA) and downloaded the latest iso. I started the easy installer and everything went fine until the power on. This was expected because my laptop doesn't has 12 cores. So after a small tweak I started the appliance and hit retry in LCM.
After a while the LCMVRAVACONFIG590003 came back, so I applied the fix for the init_run.sh line. I also tried to get the CEIP status but got a application error when I requested the status.... After the error I decided to do a reboot and requested the status again. I immediately got the same application error.
After this I rerun the deployment again, i figures the script would re-install the service.
Attached the two log bundles, I really don't get why this is failing. Everything is up-to-date now and I've done no upgrade.
Are you trying to install vRA as a single node or in HA mode?
I've tried again today and first installed as signle node, which worked, and then scaled out the environemnt into a 3 node cluster, using LCM. The environemnt runs without issues so far.
I'm trying a single node deployment on a virtualized esxi (Mac Os - Fusion). A 3 node cluster wouldn't fit I guess.
HI Paul_SI
Sorry for late but I am trying to get the licenses for the VRA to share with you a full step by step guide. I was planning for this the next two months but I will do it now for you. so, once I will receive the license I will prepare the guide and share it with you.
does it have enough resources (for real)... vRA 8x won't install / run properly on an overprovisioned host or such with slow storage/cpu.
run below command in the appliance first then follow KB https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/76870
command: vracli ceip off
You're describing the fix from: VMware Knowledge Base (KB76053). I mentioned in the start post that I already tried that
In the meantime I kept re-trying the deployment and in the end I found the issue....
I use a MacBook Pro and Fusion 11.5.5. I've created three VM's:
- vCenter 6.7
- Domain Controller (Windows), providing AD/DNS/NTP/DHCP
- ESXi 6.7 (52GB mem 12 core)
With this configuration the easy_installer works and everything is deployed successfully. But when I use version 7 for vCenter and ESXi it keeps failing...
So it has to be something with vCenter 7 or vSphere 7 :S ....
