Re-sell license to Subsidiary company

$
0
0

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???)

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 ?

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,

Hi,

Is it possible to deploy vCloud for service providers 8.20 without NSX and what would you lose by doing so? Just wondering for budgetary reasons. Thanks!

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

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,

 

Problem accessing /api-explorer/system. Reason:

    No organization provided




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?

Importing/Creating VM in vCloud Director sets the MAC address allocation to Static (instead of Automatic)

Hi,

We have in premises vCloud Director 9.5.0 environment.

 

Whenever we import VM in vSphere with MAC address allocation Automatic to vCloud Director, after successful import the VM's MAC address allocation gets changed to Static.

 

Before Import to vCloud Director

Created VM with Automatic MAC allocation in vSphere.png

 

Importing VM from vSphere to vCloud Director


After Importing to vCloud Director

 

Also, when we create new VM in vCloud Director, the MAC address allocation is set to Static(by default).

 

Is there any configuration in vCloud Director to enforce *Automatic* MAC address allocation?

Hi,

We have in premises vCloud Director 9.5.0 environment.

Also, when we create new VM in vCloud Director, the MAC address allocation is set to Static(by default).

 

Is there any configuration/setting in vCloud Director/vCenter to retain MAC address allocation Automatic of VM in vCenter even after importing to vCloud Director?

 

Note: We are running into duplicate MAC address problems due to Static MAC allocation in vCloud Director. Resetting MAC from vCloud Director GUI, solves duplicate MAC problem, however we expect MAC address allocation to remain Automatic even after importing to vCloud Director so that we don't have to manually reset MAC of imported VM.

vCD 9.7 Appliance ==> How should working HA ?

Yesterday i deployed 3 x appliance with embedded DB.

 

For configuration used bellow commands:

 

CELL1(primary)

/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/bin/configure --unattended-installation --database-type postgres --database-user vcloud --database-password PASSWORD --database-host ETH1-IP-OF-PRIMARY-APPLIANCE --database-port 5432 --database-name vcloud --database-ssl false --uuid --keystore /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/certificates.ks --keystore-password PASSWORD --primary-ip ETH0-IP-CURRENT-APPLIANCE --console-proxy-ip ETH0-IP-CURRENT-APPLIANCE --console-proxy-port-https 8443

 

 

CELL2(standby)

/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/bin/configure --unattended-installation --database-type postgres --database-user vcloud --database-password PASSWORD --database-host ETH1-IP-OF-PRIMARY-APPLIANCE --database-port 5432 --database-name vcloud --database-ssl false --uuid --keystore /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/certificates.ks --keystore-password PASSWORD --primary-ip ETH0-IP-CURRENT-APPLIANCE --console-proxy-ip ETH0-IP-CURRENT-CELL3-APPLIANCE --console-proxy-port-https 8443

 

 

CELL3(standby)

/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/bin/configure --unattended-installation --database-type postgres --database-user vcloud --database-password PASSWORD --database-host ETH1-IP-OF-PRIMARY-APPLIANCE --database-port 5432 --database-name vcloud --database-ssl false --uuid --keystore /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/certificates.ks --keystore-password PASSWORD --primary-ip ETH0-IP-CURRENT-APPLIANCE --console-proxy-ip ETH0-IP-CURRENT-CELL3-APPLIANCE --console-proxy-port-https 8443

 

From GUI perspective everything is workling... but im not sure if every standby Appliance should use connection to PRIMARY DB but when i tried use yesterday standby DB i received errors about "READONY TRANSACTIONS" Thats swhy im used command how above.

 

Lets back to my main question: How should working HA ? in Appliance configuration ?

 

Previous i used 2x CentOS cells and when 1 node was down 2nd deliver service for clients...

 

Now i have 3x node with embedded DB and when i shutdown primary node portal for vCD stops working too... According to documentation Recover from a Primary Database Failure in a High Availability Cluster  we can recover PRIMARY node only manually...

 

How then should we configure cluster in proper way ? Maybe should be deploy additional Appliance for Application (what is role fo this Appliance) ?

I have a doubt. We have Openstack, not VMware, I mean another Openstack from another versions/vendors.

 

Can I orchestrate these Openstack pools with VMware Cloud Director?

 

Thanks in advance.

How to add "Provider VDC" via HTML5 UI of vCloud Director 9.7 ?

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I have installed vCloud Director 9.7 and i am logging into to new portal using "https://CellIP/provider" url.

 

I have added vCenter Instance alone without NSX-V. Then I have added NSX-T because of I am using NSX-T on my vSphere Environment.

 

 

But, when i look at the provider VDC tab, I can't see any ADD button.( As i understand, this function is not working on new portal yet. )

 

 

BUT ! I can't see vCenter Resource when i tried to add Provider VDC via old Flash UI portal. Because, vCenter does not appear because of i added vCenter via HTML5. How can i fix this issue ?

 

Failed to Start HTML5 UI

I have a new installation of vCD 9.7 running on a CentOS 7 machine. I am able to open the legacy UI without issue. However, when I attempt to access the HTML5 UI I receive an error stating "An error was encountered during initialization. If this issue persists, please contact your service provider for assistance."

 

I do not see anything noticeable in the logs that would cause this error. Everything else seems to work without issue.

We have had vcloud director for several years and i am trying to find out if our catalog  vapp  templates are still needed.

Is there a way using powercli or sql query ( ms-sql vcd 9.5) that I can tell the last time a catalog template was deployed ?

Or is there a way I can tell  the original  template used to create  existing vapps?

Console access role - Can't see VMs

$
0
0

Hello,

 

For a local user for the tenant, we are trying to apply the predefine role "console access only", but when the user is connected to the portail vCD HTML5, he does'nt see any VMs, they are running virtual machine in the tenant.

 

We don't understand why we can see any vm when having this predefinie role.

 

The goal is to allow local user (end user) with access console to VMs only and we keep full administration on the VMs at the same time.

 

Any advices ?

 

Best regards
