Anyone run across a list of permissions needed to view everything like an Org Admin but not be able to change anything?

 

With my setup I am using vCD as more of a portal to view performance metrics, console access, service library etc etc within a managed environment, I don’t want users with the ability to create VMs, vApps, edit a VM like new disk but they can restart, shutdown and that’s about all I want them to be able to do.

 

We create the VMs, adjust resources, install and configure the LOB software and present access to their application via Horizon.

 

Thanks


Re: vCloud director on single host

Hi,

 

You can install any version of vCD to a vSphere cluster but also to a single host. It does not matter if DRS is enabled. For the appliance version it imports as a OVA. For the binary version, you can install it on compatible RHEL and CentOS VM.

 

The resource cluster (where the actual customers VM's run) must indeed have DRS enabled. Since vCD depends on Resource Pools. After you have installed vCD you can only add a vCenter server that has NSX enabled. This vCenter server manages the resource cluster.

Running VMware vCloud director open source disclosure package

Hi ARomeo,

 

Thanks for replying back.

The attached documents are for installing/running the VCD with organizational access/license.

 

I need help regarding running the open source disclosure package as I do not have any access related to VCD.

I read that I can create extension in VCD and in order to install and run those extensions on VCD, I will need to have that installed on my end.

 

Thanks.

i have deployed fresh vcloud 10 and I can register VC + NSXT [using H5 UI]

 

...however a lot of functiionaly that i need is in Flex UI

 

I switch back to Flex UI and now I can see all my prepared hosts, but VC is missing.

Migrating Tenant to other Provider VDC

We have two provider VDCs tied to two diferent vSphere Clusters that are on different datacenters connected  by dark fiber. We'd like to have the possibility to migrate tenants from one Provider VDC to other, from vSphere point of viewI know it'ss possible to move all VMs related to the tenant (I understand this is not the way to do it) however  we're not sure if this is something that can accomplished in vCloud Director,  the tenants are using NSX edge services and the NSX transport zone is the same for both provider VDC.

thanks in advance for any ideas or considerations.

Register vCloud instance into VRO

$

Hi all

 

I'm using the vRO plugin for vCloud 10 and as soon as I start the workflow "Add a connection" I can see this error on top:

 

 

even though the API version field is being populated, and this error is gone when I click the RUN button, but then there are other errors showing:

 

 

As far as I can see the form is failing to show the additional fields that need to be populated (such as username and password).

 

Did someone manage to register a vCloud 10 instance into vRO, if not is there any alternative to achieve this?

 

Versions used:

  • vRealize Orchestrator: 8.0.1 (15282010)

  • vCloud Director version: 10.0.0.14636284 Thu Sep 12 17:14:11 UTC 2019

  • Orchestrator plugin for vCloud Director 10.0.0: o11nplugin-vcloud-10.0.0-14669048.vmoapp Release Date: 2019-09-19 Build Number: 14669048

 

Thanks in advance.

vCloud director patch to 9.7.0.4 has broken SAML

$

I had 9.7.0.1 in a lab, and was having problems getting SAML for an ORG working, so I patched to 9.7.0.4. Now things are really broken.

 

Firstly, Help -> About is showing 9.7.0.15498291, which doesn't look like 9.7.0.4, not sure what it showed prior to patching...this is in the Flex and H5 UI. This is a higher build number than is shown currently here VMware Knowledge Base , so I guess it is 9.7.0.4 ?

 

Anyway, now when you go the Federation settings of an org, in the FlexUI the metadata URL is missing "cloud", that is it has [URL]/org/myorg/blah instead of [URL]/cloud/org/myorg/blah

 

In the H5 UI the URL is correct and includes "cloud"

 

 

if you download the metadata from the correct URL and import it, you will find that the assertion endpoints are also missing the "cloud" part in the URLs

 

So vCD seems to be trying (everywhere) to use URLs without "cloud", which does not work.

 

If you change the URLs to include 'çloud' in the ADFS properties, you just get an error in ADFS because vCD is actually enforcing the URL without 'çloud' in the redirect.

 

So now it is really broken, and there doesn't seem to be a way to roll back a vCD patch.....

on another note, SAML is still using SHA-1 even though the metadata xml has SHA-256....you have to manually change the IDP back to SHA-1. This was before patch to 9.7.0.4. CAn't see what it is doing now as its broken.

ok so it seems it wasn't the patch, I spoke too soon. My webconsole URL settings did not have /cloud on the end, my bad. Having corrected that, I have SAML working on 9.7.0.1 (rolled it back via snapshot anyway).

 

But I still have the outstanding question of why is vCD still using SHA-1, yet including SHA-256 in it's exported metadata?

 

The release notes for 9.7.0.2 state that it is a fixed issue that the metadata WAS including SHA-1 and they changed it to SHA-256 in the .2 patch, but this is not consistent with what I see - with 9.7.0.1 I see SHA-256 in the metadata, yet it is actually using SHA-1.

upgraded to 9.7.0.4, and the exported metadata is exactly the same as 9.7.0.1, and the SAML will still only work if your IDP uses SHA-1.

 

I even tried changing the ORG EntityID to force a regenerate of the metadata, and it is still identical, and still only works with SHA-1.

Guest Customization not working

$

Hi,

 

i try to deploy some windows server 2019 and 2016 templates to our vCloud Director library, but i cannot get the guest customization working.

 

I installed a new VM in a newly created vApp with latest VMware Tools, installed windows updates and did some settings (RDP, Windows Firewall etc).

 

i enabled the following settings in Guest OS Customization:

 

Then i added the vApp to the library:

 

When i create a new VM from this template, the hostname is not changed, the password is not set. I can see in the logfiles c:\windows\temp that the customization did some stuff (like executing the windows activation script), but password and hostname are not set.

 

Any hint?

Deploy vCloud Director 10 without NSX?

$

We're currently deploying vCloud Director for a customer. Their vcenter was upgraded from a windows based 5.5 to a 6.5 appliance but the original vshield manager was never upgraded and is not used anymore. Their existing vcloud director isn't working anymore since it doesn't support vcenter 6.5.

Is it possible to deploy a new vCloud director 10 appliance without NSX?

When I want to try add Network Pool on vCD, I can't see Enhanced Overlay Transport Zone in list.
