404-error in configuration of vCenter plugin

[tschoergez]

Hi Guys!

Ever seen this before?

Brand new default installation which came with current vCenter release. vCO 4.1.1 build 733

Same error in Firefox 4 and IE 8....

Any hints?

regards,

Joerg

.....

and indeed, there is no VC.xml in the mentioned folder:

Maybe a reinstallation will help (tomorrow), but some root-cause-analysis would be fine 🙂

Hi ,

    Never saw it.

    This file is created by the VC plug-in. So can you check that your VC plug-in is configured?

    If yes it means that file exists, so you can search your computer for this file, maybe it's stored in the wrong location.

    Can you just double check your VC plug-in configuration?

Hi Rostislav,

very strange: the plugin itself was located in the proper plugin-directory, and logfiles showed a deployment during server start without errors.

However, re-installation of vCO fixed the problem for now.

Maybe I can reproduce it in a few days when I test another Cloud Lab Provider... 🙂

Cheers,

Joerg

Hi Joerg,

    Cool.

    If you managed to reproce it, will be really helpful.

    Anyway, our QE team will try to reproce it too.

Cheers,

Hi,

I too had similar issue, to fix the issue Click on Upload & install option, Browse to plugins located at C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-server\server\vmo\plugins on Win 2k8 and select the Plugin that's giving the error. click apply changes.. and the plugin should work fine....thats worked for me.

Hmm..I'm receiving a similar error when selecting the Update Manager icon on left pane, but unfortunately removing/reloading the plugin didn't do it for me...
