vCenter Software Depot 503 Error

I received an error accompanying while creating Auto Deploy environment.

VCSA 6.5 AutoDeploy GUI error

I confirmed the contents on the link above, but my environment did not improve.The problem that is happening now. I think that it is caused by Queue accumulated in Image Builder. "/var/log/vmware/vmware-imagebuilder/main.log" Attach a log.

did you check if imagebuilder service is working?

service-control --status vmware-imagebuilder

If the service is working please try to restart it or maybe restart all services

Thank you for your message.

Service seems to be running.

Even when restarted, the behavior was the same.

There is one thing I understood. I saw that the queue size was too small looking at the next file.

/usr/lib/vmware-imagebuilder/site-packages/imagebuilder/queue.py

# depot_queue = Queue.Queue(maxsize=20)

depot_queue = Queue.Queue(maxsize=40)

# profile_queue = Queue.Queue(maxsize=20)

profile_queue = Queue.Queue(maxsize=40)

I changed the queue's max size from 20 to 40 and the queue got dull.

At the same time I tried to change the timeout value of line 26 from 30 to 60.

Just if there is a person watching, please comment

Thank you for providing the information

It does not happen if we do the above mentioned correspondence. So I can not try to restart Update Manager.

However, I rebooted vCenter several times when this problem occurred.

Is there something related to the restart of Update Manager?
