vCAC multimachine Blueprint VXLAN transport zone missing

[CSIEnvironments]

I am busy seting up a POC environment for vCAC. I have setup vCNS and added it to the vCenter endpoint. When I go to the Compute resource for the single cluster and check the data collection, it shows network and security inventory is always in progress and never seems to complete. As a result I have no transport zone available in the transport zone dropdown in the multimachine blueprint network configuration. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Have you configured vCO for the integration?

Yes, vCO is configured and the endpoint is setup in vCAC.

Did you perform Data-collection on Compute Resource? (Networking and Security Data-collection)?

Also, make sure Data-collection on Networking & Security go successful? Once, it goes fine, you should be able to view all objects from NSX including VXLAN pool.

That essentially is the heart of the problem. The data collection for Network and Security just remains on status: In progress. I cannot get the data collection to complete. I am looking for some assistance on how to get it to complete the data collection for Network and Security Inventory.

I found the following error in the DEM_Errors.log:

Workflow 'vSphereVCNSInventory' failed with the following exception:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///c:\temp\f2cpgvia.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I see a couple of these errors for different files.

Are you using a Windows based vCO Server?

Could you log in to your vCO server and take a look into the NSX workflows, I think there is one which is failing. Could you post the error message from there?

Cheers, Chris

We are using the VCO appliance.

We are not using NSX, we are using vCNS and apparently there are no plugins for VCO.

You need to install plugin for VCNS in VCO. Once you install plugin, perform Data-collection and you should be able to view all objects from vcns.

[CSIEnvironments]

Do you happen to have a link to download the plugin for vCNS for vCO? I can only find a link for the NXS plugin which I thought I would install anyway to see if it helped but it didnt.

Apparently this is an issue with the DEM. I restarted the services on the IAAS server and have finally had an inventory collection complete. I can now see the network scope created in vShield in the transport zone drop down.
