Adding vCenter Server Instance: error java.lang.NullPointerException

[ebgloria]

Hi all,

I am encountering exception error: java.lang.NullPointerException while adding vCenter Server Instance (via workflow).

Anyone have any tips of how to solve this problem ?

Configuration:

vRealize Orchestrator 6.0.3 (appliance)

vCenter 5.5.0

Thanks in advance,

e

vRO 6.0.3 is only compatible with web client 6.0.0 and 6.0 U1. Though you add the vCenter instance successfully it will not show the vRO node in web client. I would re commend you to go with either of the supported version to available in web client.

Hi msk05,

Thanks for your reply. I am not sure what i am missing, I am adding the vCenter Server instance via workflow and i keep on getting the exception error.

I also have checked with the VMware Compatibility Matrix and both vCenter 5.5 and vRO 6.0.3 are compatible

Click on the variable tab to see the reason for failure or check the server.log under /var/log/vmware/vco/app-server/. I agree vCenter is compatible but not the web client.

Nothing in the variables tab but the exception: java.lang.NullPointerException.

Check the server.log for more details. And did you check the web client compatibility using the VMware interoperability matrix VMware Product Interoperability Matrixes ?
