Hello,
I wanted to give an update on this issue. The problem for me was the firewall blocking the connection to vCenter even though it was an outgoing connection - go figure. I reviewed the TrainSignal documentation as well and they recommend disabling the firewall on the VCD build out. There may be some high security environments where you need the firewall enabled, but in most cases we would deal with, it is probably not necessary. I talked to a few other folks that have deployed vCloud director and they all disable the firewall. The problem I am having now is that the product is very temperamental and difficult to get working properly. I finally got it built out and then I had an issue where I couldn't import vApp templates - I traced the problem to corrupted QRTZ tables in the database. I'm not a big fan of the product so far. I don't mind complex, but when you do everything correct and it still doesn't work right, that's major frustration for me.
Cheers,
Steve
