I tried the method you suggested earlier but It produced the same results. The ISO is still inserted for some reason. I am a little puzzle with that result. Is there anything else that I can try?...

was the ISO originally inserted via the vCloud Director UI?

vCloud API would let you see what is. Therefore you would need to program something to track changes over time at given intervals. Usage Meter won't track networks/firewalls/vpns, etc. It tracks...

Are these 2 providers in the same vCenter? If so, then the hosts in both clusters need to be on the same distributed switch and have the exact same port group presented to them. Then the sharing...

Yes, it was inserted from the vCloud UI. BTW, I finally got it to work properly with the CD ejected. It seems like the first time to add to "my cloud" and didn't eject the CD properly. Thanks for you...

Hi all, I've been through the installation guide and seen various blog posts on the process for installing vcloud director 5.1 and it all seems pretty straightforward to me. The trouble is that I keep...

gray screen means that the app hasn't fully loaded. The services started, but it never loaded completely. Can you tail cell.log and provide vcloud-container-debug.log from the RHEL OS running vCloud...

Thanks for the reply. As this is a very recent install (just finished it for 3rd time on a new box...just in case ) the files are pretty small...

Can you drop and re-create your database? I know it's a new installation, but it seems like the DB was partially initialized once and then reused with this installation later on. This would mean to...

Excellent! Thanks for your help that was indeed the issue and after creating a new DB and running the config again the service has started as expected and I've got the config wizard this time around!...

no problem. Glad it was quickly resolved.

Ah, they have switches/portgroups with the same name; but it's not a dswitch. I'll work on that. Thanks
View ArticleRe: vCloud doesn't share external network between VDC's?
So in the background, vCloud Director records the vCenter ID (called Managed Object Reference a.k.a. MoRef). Every object in vCenter gets its own MoRef, even if it's the same name. If these were...

Thanks. On a first read of the Resource Allocation Models whitepaper, it does not seem to be agreeing with our findings. Specifically, vCPU speed seems to have no effect on vCPU limit for the VM (it...
View ArticleRe: Allocation Pool vCPU and memory reservations not as expeccted in vCD 5.1
So in 5.1.0 and 5.1.1 Allocation Pools are Elastic by default. This means we track CPU allocations based on a fixed math. CPU Count * Reservation * CPU Speed = consumption. In 5.1.2, we added the...
