Problem running Virgo Runtime server

[Sumit_Tyagi]

Hello,

I want to setup development environment for vCenter 6.0 on one VM(Lets say A) and vCenter Server setup on another VM(Lets say B).

Successfully install vCenter Server on VM B.

To setup development environment on VM A, I followed all the steps as mentioned in web-client sdk setup 6.0 docs.

After completing Step 2 (Virgo Server setup) in STS(version 3.3.0.RELEASE), I started virgo server, but it gives a popup depicting following error:

"Server Virgo Runtime was unable to start within 300 seconds. If the server requires more time, try increasing the timeout in the server editor."

This issue is coming all the time even after restarting STS, restarting VM, and freshly uninstalling/installing components again.

Kindly see the attached log files and help.

Also, I am little bit confused in following step 3(Registeration with vCenter 6.0) in sdk docs.

It is mentioned that

1. For vCenter for Windows: copy dev-setup.bat to vCenter for Windows administrator directory.
2. Run the dev-setup script. Two files get generated: webclient.properties and store.jks.
3. Copy these files to your dev machine at the following location:
   Windows: C:/ProgramData/VMware/vSphere Web Client

But, there is no location "C:/ProgramData/VMware/vSphere Web Client" exists in development machine VM A.

How would my development setup at VM A knows what SSO password I have given to connect with vCenter Server 6.0 runniing on VM B.

Kindly suggest.

Please follow the SDK setup instructions carefully for vCenter Server Registration. 

> Failed to load keystore type JKS with path C:/ProgramData/VMware/vSphere Web Client/store.jks due to C:\ProgramData\VMware\vSphere Web Client\store.jks (The system cannot find the file specified) java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\ProgramData\VMware\vSphere Web Client\store.jks (The system cannot find the file specified)

You must copy the generated store.jks to that location on your dev machine.

Hi laurentsd,

Now, I have copied store.jks file at required location but still I get the same dialog box prompting "Starting virgo runtime at localhost has encountered problems".

Though, this time i didn't get missing "store.jks" file error in virgo logs but, I get some other errors in Virgo server logs:

I have attached virgo log file. Kindly help.

Someone reported a similar problem a while ago. We were never able to reproduce it ourselves but their solution was to start Virgo with the server/bin/startup.bat

Hi Laurant,

Thanks for the reply.

Finally, Virgo server started successfully

I think, this information should be added in FAQ.html or SDK-Setup.html file, as it will be very beneficial for other users as well.

Thanks,

Amit
