Re: Using vAPI endpoint in vRO to deploy an OVF from Content Library

anton749 — Fri, 22 May 2020 18:07:51 GMT

that seems a bit tricky as I don't find which type those are, I looked in here but not sure REST API - resource_pool_deployment_spec

thanks

i did set the var for resourcePoolDeploymentSpec

var resourcePoolDeploymentSpec = new com_vmware_vcenter_ovf_library__item_resource__pool__deployment__spec();

resourcePoolDeploymentSpec.accept_all_EULA = true;

resourcePoolDeploymentSpec.name = att_vmName;

resourcePoolDeploymentSpec.default_datastore_id = att_datastore.id;

resourcePoolDeploymentSpec.network_mappings.key[0] = att_networkInfo.key;

resourcePoolDeploymentSpec.network_mappings.value[0] = att_networkInfo.value;

hi, I added these lines to the code to try to set network for deployment

resourcePoolDeploymentSpec.network_mappings.key = att_networkInfo.key;

resourcePoolDeploymentSpec.network_mappings.value = att_networkInfo.value;

I get the portgroup key using VcDistributedVirtualPortgroup, but when trying to run I get this error

TypeError: Cannot set property “key” of null to “dvportgroup-624”

i found the issue, i was not importing the metamodel and missed the /api in the URL

Hi Iliev,

I am trying to run the code to get the library items, i added vCenter as VAPI endpoint and then copied your code but i am getting this error

ReferenceError: "com_vmware_content_library" is not defined.

i am running vCenter 6.7 U1f, vRO 7.4. am i perhaps missing something like defining metamodel for the VAPI endpoint or something?

I opted to try the skippublisher check option and that did it! , do you see any possible issue with that?

Install-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI -RequiredVersion 11.5.0.14912921 -verbose -SkipPublisherCheck

i then rebooted and notice it no longer shows three different PowerShellGet versions but just 2.2.4.1

Re: Guest script manager package

anton749 — Mon, 11 Nov 2019 20:16:07 GMT

hi vExpert: Christophe Decanini , i posted this same as a question on the VIX forum, but just in case it is not seen too often here it is again. Appreciate your help in advance or anyone that has had a similar issue when vRO has to go to different networks where NATing is in place.

Hello, i have an issue where vRo can create directories in VM guests but is unable to copy file to guest. Error is below

org.apache.http.conn.ConnectTimeoutException: Connect to x.x.x.x:443 [/x.x.x.x] failed: Read timed out (Workflow:Copy file from vCO to guest / Scriptable task (item1)12)'

vRO server is on a separate network than vCenters and ESXis, in order to connect and perform tasks against the vCenters i had to add the NATed IPs in vRO /etc/hosts file, but if i do the same for the ESXI hosts it doesn't use the NATed IPs, the Copy file to guest workflow uses the "real" IPs, so i suspect it gets the IPs from the vCenters.

Is there any workaround that can be done so that vRo knows that it needs to use the ESXi host NATed IPs ?

Configure NIC settings after adding a network adapter to a VM

anton749 — Thu, 08 Nov 2018 18:40:21 GMT

Hi, do you know after i add a NIC to a VM how can i identify the NIC and configure settings to it: IP, gateway, subnet mask, dns. I have a powershell script to do that in windows but still need to figure out how to tell the script which NIC to apply the config too. I could pass the MAC address but would need to find out which is the MAC of the new NIC, is there a better way using the vSphere API so that i can use it both in win and linux? thanks

Re: vRO vCenter plug-in for vSphere 6.5+ service releases

anton749 — Wed, 24 Oct 2018 20:06:59 GMT

Hi, i have vRO 7.3.1 and imported some workflows from a 7.2 installation i have. The vCenter i have is 6.5 U2 6.5.0.20000 Build 9451637 and current vCenter plugin is VC 6.5.0.7720419. I notice some odd behaviours, just not all the time or not against all VMs, for example, if i try to run action to getVmGuestFamily i get a Timeout waiting for getting VM Guest Family on a running OS for a particular VM, but not all. I thought it was a problem with the VM but it shows running VMtools and is started. Also i see odd behaviour when for example quering VMtools state. Do you know if there is any documented issue with vRO 7.3.1 and/or vCenter plugin is VC 6.5.0.7720419?

Re:Cant change type of parameters

anton749 — Thu, 22 Mar 2018 16:39:51 GMT

hi, i have a similar issue with vRO 7.1, sometimes it works when i restart the vRO client, sometimes just one time and then starts failing. I even tried from another machine. Did you got it solved? I can't upgrade to 7.2 or 7.3 since i need support for vCenter 5.1 and 5.5
