Edge Gateway - Unable to set "Enable Multiple Interface Support" to true thru VCO

[Mururam]

I don't find a way thru VCO to set "Enable Multiple Interface Support" for an Edge Gateway.

I am attaching a screenshot from VCloud Director UI, about this option. I am trying to set the boolean value of true thru VCO for this attribute "Enable Multiple Interface Support", but could not find it. Is there a way thru VCO to fix this issue.

Thanks,

Mururam

I do not have the option in the UI in my test server (certainly because edgeGateways are not upgraded to full impl)

To find out the property:

Enable vCD plug-in debug mode as described here : http://www.vcoteam.info/learn-vco/how-to-handle-vcenter-orchestrator-logs.html

Create a workflow with a vclEdgegateway type input named "gateway".Add a scriptable box, add to its input gateway, add the script gateway.updateInternalState();

Save and close, run workflow.

Change the setting in vCD UI.

Run the workflow.

Check your server.log file. Inside you will find the XML representation of the edgeGateway object twice. Check the difference between the two.

What version of vCloud Director are you using?

How are you creating an Edge without multi-interface support enabled? When I create a new Edge, there is no option for this, when I get done creating an Edge, the screen shows a green checkmark for multi-interface support.

The unchecked box you show in the screenshot appears briefly when I check the properties of any of my Edges and then disappears - I assume because the UI is checking the config, finding that is enabled, then hiding that checkbox option... I have tried with 1 and 2 external networks attached to the Edge and have the same results in each case.

Side Note for Christophe: There is not supposed to be a feature difference between compact vs. full mode, only performance diff

Message was edited by: Burke- --- After further reading here (http://pubs.vmware.com/vcd-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vcloud.install.doc_51%2FGUID-942EDFB8-66... ) it seems this may present itself when you have upgraded edges - is this the case for your environment??

Hi Christophe,

I am working with my team mate on this. I tried the steps that you mentioned, howe I don't see the XML output in the Server logs.

2013-04-10 16:41:14.912+0000 DEBUG [WrappedJavaMethod] Calling method : public void com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vcloud.model.admin.Gateway.updateInternalState()
2013-04-10 16:41:15.275+0000 DEBUG [WrappedJavaMethod] Pre-Result : NULL
2013-04-10 16:41:15.275+0000 DEBUG [WrappedJavaMethod] Post-Result : null

Also I tried to use the toXml() for both the Gateway and Gateway Config objects but always get null.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Sri

Once you have added the following section to the log4j file you should see plenty XML in your logs.

<category additivity="true" name="com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vcloud">

<priority value="DEBUG"/>

</category>

Doublecheck you got it right.

No luck. Let me give the complete details.

My Script:

Server.log("GW Info : Begin");
Server.log("Edge GW Name: " + edgeGw.name);
System.log("GW Info : Begin");
System.log("Edge GW Name: " + edgeGw.name);

edgeGw.updateInternalState();
Server.log("GW XML Output:" + edgeGw.configuration.toXml());
System.log("GW XML Output:" + edgeGw.configuration.toXml());

Server.log("GW Info : End");
System.log("GW Info : End");

The output:

The settings in log4j exactly the same as you suggested and the config service restarted.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

You certainly have an issue in your log4j since I ran your script and had the full XML of the gateway in the server.log
