Had the same problem. The only VMWare solution is vROPS but it's cost prohibitive at the stage and doesn't have a lot of flexibility in metering. You could check out Hyalto (formerly AirSembly) who I'm in discussions with. They run a web interface over vCD but they do have metering-only capabilities. They are working on a ConnectWise Manage integration to send usage information into it if you use it for your billing (which we do).

Re-sell license to Subsidiary company
Shalom all!!!
Please, could you provide help with licensing of Service Provider Program (vCloud)?
I`d like to know, can affiliated company use vCloud key?
For example - we have "Hosting-Daughter Company" that uses 10 000 points and which is Subsidiary of two Parent Company - one of them is "Parent-Business Company" with owning 51% and second is "Parent-Telecom Company" with 49%....
"Parent-Telecom Company" already has cloud business based on vCloud for hosting and every month buys 20 000 points.
So nowadays "Parent-Telecom Company" wanna aggregate all vCloud points from Subsidiary company "Hosting-Daughter Company" and would like to buy 30 000 points cheaper and re-sell 10 000 points to "Hosting-Daughter Company"
Is it legal? (White Label Model for Rental License etc???)

Kubernetes licensing model query
I like to use either new version of PKS or CSE kubernetes with VMware.
PKS—i have vSphere licensing.
Cse kubernetes–i have vSphere along with vcloud director license.
Apart from vSphere, any other separate licensing is required for kubernetes.
How the licensing model works here from kubernetes?
Please let me know if anyone knows.
Thank you,

Re: Re-sell license to Subsidiary company
Reselling the licenses to the secondary company, no. not via VCPP, however If the holding company is the one that has the VSSP /VCPP agreement with VMware then yes. ALL reporting must be done via the holding company. and not the secondary company.

Re: Re-sell license to Subsidiary company
Tom, thanks!!!
But what about "White Label Model for Rental License" from VMware Service Provider Program Guide Q4/2018 ?
------
The “White Label” model is a model whereby a Service Provider (a “Master Service Provider”) resells its Hosted IT Service to another Service Provider (a “Secondary Service Provider”) ....

Re: Kubernetes licensing model query
PKS is a separate purchase and license. It doesn't not come with any form of vSphere license. The CSE for vCD does not require a special license, but it obviously requires you already are using vCD. PKS does not rely upon vCD in any way.

NFS configuration / Proper configuration on vCD CELL (CentOS) /etc/fstab
I have configured on /etc/fstab on both cells in that way:
x.x.x.x:/mnt/vcloud-director/data/transfer /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/data/transfer nfs defaults 2 2
but in KB VMware Knowledge Base there is recommendation for:
192.168.120.7:/nfs/vCDspace /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/data/transfer nfs intr 0 0
In my configuration i have this entry 2 2 not 0 0
If that can be problem ? shouls i reconfigure this ?

Re: Kubernetes licensing model query
Thank you for response.Im new to this.
Assume my setup is CSE kubernetes with vcd.
1master node with 20 worker nodes. I can run N no of containers in to worker nodes without any additional special license from VMware.
Am I right?
↧
Re: Kubernetes licensing model query
As CSE is opensource, there should not be any license for its use regardless of the number of pods you run.

Re: vCloud 8.20 for SPs without NSX?
If I deploy an NSX manager paired with a vCenter and I add external network(s) backed by regular vSphere portgroup, is it possible to have some routed org/vapp networks withou deployng any NSX controller ?

Re: vCloud 8.20 for SPs without NSX?
Routing must be done by an external router. As you are not using NSX, there is no router avaiable

vCD 9.7 / The requested operation on VM "CentOS-7.6.1810" is not supported since the VM is in an inconsistent state.
Im System Administrator.
This issue related to template which we are using in catalog.
This worked few days ago before upgradeed from vCD 9.5.0.3 to 9.7.
Maybe not related but...
VM (template) is OFF in vSphere Client

Re: Re-sell license to Subsidiary company
I understand what you are saying but that is an agreement between you and your subsidiary company.
Part of that agreement is that they will report their usage to the parent company, it is the parent companies responsibility to report the combined numbers to VMware - VMware has no part in the sub-letting of your licenses. but you are expected to report all details.

Re: vCD 9.7 / The requested operation on VM "CentOS-7.6.1810" is not supported since the VM is in an inconsistent state.
What's in the logs (/opt/vmware/vmware/vcloud-director/logs/vcloud-container-debug.log) when you search for the request ID f6688eb..... ? There must be several events corresponding to this request ID, and usually you will find detailed information or a Java stack trace between these events.

Api-Explorer URL No longer working
I am not sure if it was during the migration from vCD 9.1 to 9.5.0.1 or when we upgraded to 9.5.0.3, but everytime I goto https://<VCDURL>/api-explorer I now get a 404 with the error of,

As a bonus I know api-explorer shows documentation for /cloudapi, is there a way to get just plan old /api documentation in the same format?
