      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Are you using vSphere Standard Switch (VSS) or vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS)? If you use VSS you only use:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- Route based on originating virtual port (default)&lt;BR /&gt;- Route based on source MAC hash&lt;BR /&gt;- Use explict failover order&lt;BR /&gt;- Route based on IP hash (!this is not LACP!)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you use VDS you can create LACP Channels but i would not recommend it. I would stick to "Route based on originating virtual port" on VSS and "Route based on physical NIC load" on VDS or the default "Route based on originating virtual port".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;On Cisco side the Ports are Configured as Trunk Ports and you can use all four Nics as Active Uplinks in VSS (same on VDS).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There is a good Mapping Table &lt;A href="https://haystacknetworks.com/aci-nx-os-vmware-interface-bundling-mapping" target="_blank"&gt;https://haystacknetworks.com/aci-nx-os-vmware-interface-bundling-mapping&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And the Overview for the Load Balancing Algorithms: &lt;A href="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.networking.doc/GUID-959E1CFE-2AE4-4A67-B4D4-2D2E13765715.html" target="_blank"&gt;https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.networking.doc/GUID-959E1CFE-2AE4-4A67-B4D4-2D2E13765715.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;BR /&gt;Robert&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Same issue here and we had a talk with our TAM. Once you enabled Custom Naming Templates you can not disable it. The Number Generator is unfortunately mandatory for the Templates but this will be changed in Future vRA Versions. Unfortunately I don't have a solution for you (we redeployed vRA because of this behavior).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Robert&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>vRA 8.8 - Tag Managment over Api</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Aria-Discussions/vRA-8-8-Tag-Managment-over-Api/m-p/2916263#M358</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Just in Case someone is looking for Tag Managment over the Api: it does not exists. There is the entry Point "/iaas/api/tags" which only accepts the GET Method at the Moment.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But creating new Tags can be done with the PATCH Method on a Object (for Example on a vSphere Network):&lt;BR /&gt;URI: /iaas/api/fabric-networks-vsphere/{id}&lt;BR /&gt;Method: PATCH&lt;BR /&gt;Body: {"tags": [{"key": "your_new_tag_name","value": "your_new_tag_value"}]}&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Removing all Tags from on Object (again from a vSphere Network):&lt;BR /&gt;URI: /iaas/api/fabric-networks-vsphere/{id}&lt;BR /&gt;Method: PATCH&lt;BR /&gt;Body: {"tags": []}&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The Remove will not delete the Tags from vRA and there is no Way to delete them over the Api.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can get the Information from vRA with an API Request. Get the Values from "__metadata_userName" and "__metadata_orgId" and make a GET Request to&amp;nbsp;"/csp/gateway/am/api/users/" + userName + "/orgs/" + orgId + "/info". For Testing:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;LI-CODE lang="javascript"&gt;var val2return = new Properties
var vra_usr = executionContext.getParameter("__metadata_userName")
var vra_orgid = executionContext.getParameter("__metadata_orgId")
var vra_uri = "/csp/gateway/am/api/users/" + vra_usr + "/orgs/" + vra_orgid + "/info"

var vra_user = "yourUsername"
var vra_pass = "yourPassword"
var vra_url = "https://vra.fq.dn"

var vra_host = VraHostManager.createHost({
    name: "dummy",
    vraHost: vra_url,
    user: vra_user,
    password: vra_pass,
    connectionType: "vra-onprem",
    sessionMode: "Shared Session"
})


var vra_rest = vra_host.createRestClient()
var vra_request = vra_rest.createRequest("GET", vra_uri, null);

var vra_response = vra_rest.execute(vra_request)

val2return = JSON.parse(vra_response.contentAsString)

var firstName = val2return.user.firstName
var lastName = val2return.user.lastName
var email = val2return.user.email

System.log(firstName + " " + lastName + " (" + email + ")")

vra_host.destroy()

return val2return&lt;/LI-CODE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You only get the "networkSelectionIds" and must get the Details with an API request. Since you only have one VM with one NIC attached this should work for you:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;LI-CODE lang="javascript"&gt;var val2return = new Properties
var vra_netid = inputProperties.networkSelectionIds[0][0][0]
var vra_uri = "/iaas/api/fabric-networks-vsphere/" + vra_netid

      <title>vIDM upgrade stuck at "Waiting for SaaS to come up on the VMware Identity Manager Host"</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;We started the upgrade from our vIDM installation from 3.3.4 to 3.3.5 in vRLCM but it hangs at "Waiting for SaaS to come up on the VMware Identity Manager Host". Looking at the IDM system diagnostic page turns out that the "ACS Health - Application Deployment Status" service was in error state.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The log file for this service is found at&amp;nbsp;/opt/vmware/horizon/workspace/logs/accesscontrol-service.log and there was the error:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;ERROR your.idm.appliance.com:accesscontrol (localhost-startStop-5) [;;;] org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication - Application run failed org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'liquibase' defined in class path resource [com/vmware/vidm/accesscontrol/db/DbDataStoreAutoConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is liquibase.exception.LockException: Could not acquire change log lock.
