Deploying a virtual appliance to a vDC
In vSphere I have the option to deploy an OVA if I wanted to deploy a virtual appliance. Does vCloud Director have a similar means where I can deploy a virtual appliance to a vApp at all?
Thanks,
Bostan
Re: Deploying a virtual appliance to a vDC
Yes, you create a 'service vDC' which can be used to publish catalogs etc to your organisations. Essentially build a VM in vSphere and then import it into this service vDC where you can create it as a template copy. I can provide detailed steps if need be?

Re: Configuring Edge Gateway shaping/rate-limiting using vCD 8.20 API ?
thanks for your answer.
I'm surprised Rate Limit settings can be entered this way as it is outside EdgeGatewayServiceConfiguration section. Anyway I tried and failed, I may have done something wrong. Did you already perform such config via the vCD API ?
I was also wondering where I could find all "actions" for an EG (like action/configureServices) ? Also failed to find this

Re: Import local users in VCD organizations
What is a local user for you, a user on System level?
Re: Configuring Edge Gateway shaping/rate-limiting using vCD 8.20 API ?
Sorry that I misled you.
You need to use the method
PUT /admin/edgeGateway/{id}
https://code.vmware.com/apis/72/vcloud#/doc/doc/operations/PUT-EdgeGateway.html
Passing as the body xml the type GatewayType (you can get in response to GET /admin/edgeGateway/{id}) with the modified part
<GatewayInterface>
...
<ApplyRateLimit>true</ApplyRateLimit>
<InRateLimit>100.0</InRateLimit>
<OutRateLimit>100.0</OutRateLimit>
</ GatewayInterface>
Well, do not forget the Content-Type: application/vnd.vmware.admin.edgeGateway+xml
vCD Edge Gateway Syslog override Issue
Hello,
has anyone else issues with the vCD Syslog override of the NSX Default. Since vCD 9.1.0.1 / NSX 6.4.0 we see that vCD does not override the Syslog Server permanently. If we force the Sync of the vCD Syslog setting, its bee reset after a few minutes to the NSX Default.
Best Regards,
Markus
Re: Import local users in VCD organizations
Are you talking about tenant local users? or federation of a tenant ADs to their Org VDC?
you question is too broad for a reasonable answer, please can you be more specific.
Re: Import local users in VCD organizations
I'm referring to the local users that are created for each "Organizations"
Steps that I'm currently following:
- Login into VCD.
- Click on Manage Organizations under the "Organizations" tab.
- Click on any Organization from the list.
- Once the respective Organization tab opens up, click on "Administration"
- Click on Users under Members section.
- Add users for this ORG.
Re: Import local users in VCD organizations
Thats the correct steps for creating Local Users for the Org. Are you trying to import Local users created in System Org into the Tenant Org?
Re: Import local users in VCD organizations
Right, I'm trying to import Local users directly into the tenant ORG. I know I can do so for LDAP, but these are local users. Is there a way to do this via CSV file or something like that?
Increasing video memory for a VM?
How do I increase the video memory for a VM from VCD 9.x? The HTML5 client doesn't have the option on the GUI. Is there a way to do change the attributes?
Re: Import local users in VCD organizations
Mass creation of users is an option. For example can you use my PowerShell Function to loop through a CSV List: VMware-vCD-Module/New-MyOrgAdmin.psm1 at master · mycloudrevolution/VMware-vCD-Module · GitHub for user creation.
But these is not the same like "Import from System". Passwords and Permission are not identical.
Best regards,
Markus

If this command:

Should I perform on every CELLs ? or only on one?

Re: vCD Edge Gateway Syslog override Issue
Fojta send my a hint to his Blog post: vRealize Operations Management Pack for NSX-V and Log Insight Integration – Tom Fojta's Blog
The Solution is:
vROPs ==> Management pack für NSX vSphere ==> Adapter Configuration ==> Instance für vCD:
Enable Log Insight integration if configured -> False
Re: vCloud Director 9 can't connect to cassandra DB
OK i received sufficient answer on vExpert community slack from Tomas Fojta:
"All cells share the same Cassandra DB (keyspace), and the node list is store in vCloud DB. So you run the Cassandra configuration only from one cell."
Thanks
