Also, When I am trying to put "http://10.63.39.216:8443/Serengeti" in the browser,  I am getting this error.

HTTP Status 404 - /Serengeti

type Status report

The authentication API is a little different in BDE 2.1 and BDE 2.0 and 1.x.

In BDE 2.1, the request body is "vc_username=name&vc_password=password", while in BDE 2.0 the request body is "vc_username=name&vc_password=base64_encoded_password".  If you use the BDE vCAC version 2.0 with BDE 2.1, the authentication will fail.

You can refer to this post Configure Serengeti Host. Possibly you met the same problem.

Hi Jesse

Yes my aim is to  deploy Hadoop as a Service via vCAC, but as of now I have just deployed "VMware-BigDataExtensions-2.1.0.1216-2173865_OVF10 " on my Virtual Center and registered the Management server on it.

Installed the plugin  "o11nplugin-big-data-2.1.0" on my vCO, and from there I am trying to run the workflow " Configure the serengeti host". While running it, I am getting this error.
