Evening,
Trying to copy a vApp from vCloud Director 5.6 to vCenter 5.5 using vCloud Connector 2.7.
The scenario:
- vCloud Director fully configured with one Org, one Org vDC and one catalog;
- Catalog is fully populated, shared and published;
- Org and catalog are configured to allow publishing to external organizations;
- vCenter and vCloud Director were successfully added to vCloud Connector throught the vSphere Client plug-in;
- vCloud Connector plug-in is able to see the entire vSphere and vCD structures (folders, orgs, catalogs, vApps, templates, etc).
Replicating the error:
- Using the vSphere Client, click the vCD Org;
- Go to the vApps tab;
- Select a powered off vApp;
- Click Copy;
- Select Catalog (it is marked as Shared and, oddly, as Unpublished);
- Select vCenter as target;
- Select Clusters, Folders, Datastore, disk format and so on;
- Power On vApp after deploy (or not, does not matter);
- Validate (Returns Success);
- Finish.
Task begins and fails within a minute (or less) with the following message:
"OVF export failed. Failure while copying data from cloud: https://<vcloud_director_fqdn>. Reason: [ 0e65fbc1-4e04-4924-ae06-c4377dfc97af ] There is no catalog in the organization."
Looks like vCloud Connector, for some reason, is unable to locate the Catalog during deployment (although it can be perfectly seen during the Copy wizard and within its inventory).
I tried searching for it and did not find anything similar to this error.
Perhaps it´s a vCD configuration error, but what could it be? I´ve already selected every kind of option to allow catalog publishing and sharing and nothing changed.
I also successfully published the vCD Catalog to the vCloud Connector Content Library, so nothing else makes sense to me.
