Hi Raju,

Are these log messages coming from vRealize Automation (vCAC or vRA) or from somewhere else? 

Do you have any firewalls setup between your vCenter, vRA, VCO and the BDE servers?

What versions of the components are you using?

Also, you may want to file a Support Request with VMware GSS to help you look into the issue deeper.

Thanks,

This log is from VCO when am trying to run "configure serengeti host" work flow I think am giving wrong url https://https://xx.xx.xx.xx:8443, what url I need to give? VCO 5.5.2 VCac 6.2 BDE 2.0

[fakber]

You're showing https://https://xx.xx.xx.xx:8443.

This should be https://<hostname/IP address>:8443/.  This should be the hostname or IP address of your BDE server.

I just edited my IP and https:// is typo I think I had given. No firewalls runninghttps://xx.xx.xx.xx:8443 it is not working in one of the BDE doc it says https://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/serengeti I tried with both the ports not working

[fakber]

Raju,

Port 8080 is an older port number used from older version of BDE.

I suggest that you try using the following URL:

https://xx.xx.xx.xx:8443/serengeti

Sincerely,

Faisal Akber

Tried no luck 😞

Hi Raju,

Please file a Support Request with VMware GSS to allow them to review your environment and setup in more detail.

Thanks,

Make sure that VCO is not only configured with the link to BDE but you need to have the username and password configured as well.

Make sure that the username and password is one that you can login to the vSphere web-client and has access to use BDE.

Yes, am using VC admin logins which am able to login to webconsole shoud I use administrator@vsphere.local or just administrator?

[fakber]

Use whatever you use to login on the login page.

I had given https://vc-server:9443/vsphere-client in host field and it passed without any errors need to check wether it will execute the workflows or not

[Xiaoliangl]

The URL is: https://xx.xx.xx.xx:8443/serengeti, where the IP is the serengeti management VM's IP.

The login and password is your vCenter's login and password.

[Xiaoliangl]

If you use root account, it should be always fine.

Tried no luck am able to access the VC with same credentials but here am getting auth error 2015-01-28 22:37:44.332] [I] Login [2015-01-28 22:37:44.469] [D] Request contentType: application/x-www-form-urlencoded [2015-01-28 22:37:44.469] [D] Request URL: https://xx.xx.xx.xx.:8443/serengeti/j_spring_security_check [2015-01-28 22:37:48.803] [I] Response: DynamicWrapper (Instance) : [RESTResponse]-[class com.vmware.o11n.plugin.rest.Response] -- VALUE : com.vmware.o11n.plugin.rest.Response@502a9cff [2015-01-28 22:37:48.804] [I] Status code: 401 [2015-01-28 22:37:48.805] [I] Content as string:

[rajuroks]

I tried with VC vsphere.local/administrator and serengeti server root logins but same auth error

[Xiaoliangl]

thanks for the action.

Have you succeeded in using serengeti-cli to connect to serengeti VM before?

If you can get access to the serengeti mgmt VM, could you please provide me the serengeti.log under /opt/serengeti?

[rajuroks]

am able to access from cli using VC admin logins

[Xiaoliangl]

Could you please provide the versions of your serengeti management server and your vCAC BDE-plugin?
