There is a ticket exchange so the IaaS webserver and the client browser both need access to the vCD endpoint. I believe the end user with the browser must have credentials to vCD, vCAC doesn't serve as a proxy for vCD in this implementation. I believe this is fairly close to the VMRC sdk that vCD ships but this all happens inline because we have all the object references to the endpoints and machines.

Re: Editable Templates
This seems odd, are they global and the user you're attempting to do this has read only??
What interface type and/or provisioning workflow did you choose?? Screenshot??

Re: Not able to allocate IP from Network Profiles.
Are you using clone? Did you specify a customization spec? I can't remember the specifics but I recall that there is somewhat of a strange requirement to have a customization spec with the correct number of adapters to work... Not sure, but this information could be the documentation.

Re: vCAC 6.0 and vCNS load balancer
I don't know of any reason why not but I haven't tried this myself. We had some plans to use vCAC in our lab with NSX to setup a HA version of vCAC (including required load balancers) but that's still TBD.

Re: GPU Utilization in vSphere API?
It's not a script, I am using an SSH library within my application, but here's what it does.
First it calls nvidia-smi:
~ # nvidia-smi -q -d UTILIZATION
Which provides this output:
==============NVSMI LOG==============

I take that output and parse out each GPU ID with its two utilization metrics, for use in my application. I can enumerate the GPUs through the vSphere API and get their IDs, but the "Gpu" and "Memory" consumption stats are not included.

Re: VSA Cluster 5.1.1.0 - How do I perform an automatic graceful shutdown during a power outage
Sorry for the very late reply, been busy. This is what I came up with:
Using the vCenter server I created a batch file to:
-Put the cluster in maintenance mode via WSCLI using "enterStorageClusterMaintenanceMode".
-Then issued a command using plink to the master host to shutdown the vm's in the order i specify using the world id.
-Then issued a command to put the hosts into maintenance mode.
-Then issued a command to power off the hosts.
-Then power off the vcenter server.
-I used the Dell MultiUPS console and specified my power source and told it to issue that batch file when the battery gets critical.
Its a little ghetto, but I am no Power Shell programmer and everywhere I went I found little to no help, but it does work. I even called DellUPS support and Dell VMware support and I was told that this had never been done with VSA before. VMware wanted to charge an arm and a leg to help me even though I have SnS support. I dont have the exact batch file that I used but I remember it being something close to the above. Maybe we can get some PowerCli experts or similar to help us out a little.

vmware app director fails to deploy vm's "Run failed due to failure of task (UI, agent_bootstrap)."
Hello , I noticed when deploying new VM's from APP-D we see the following errors.
Run failed due to failure of task (UI, agent_bootstrap).
I noticed the following messages in the log - on the failed deployed vm
/opt/vmware-appdirector/agent/logs
darwin-agent2013-11-20.log
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host closed connection during handshake
This looks very like the other end (APP D) does not speak SSL. Has anyone seen this issue before and how to resolve the problem.
Regards,
Michael

Can move-vm migrate a powered off VM to a DRS cluster?
When I try to move-vm a powered off VM to a DRS cluster destination, it says it can't migrate a powered off VM to a DRS cluster. I can explicitly name host destination and it works, but that defeats the purpose of using DRS and requires me to script out the destination hosts.
Am I doing something wrong or should I be able to migrate a powered off VM to a DRS cluster?
Thanks,

Re: vsphere replication standalone 5.5
Hi,
One combined VR appliance (VRMS+embedded DB for VRMS+VR server) maps to one and only one vCenter Server and can manage source VMs on multiple hosts and target datastores on multiple hosts.
There are also additional VR-server-only appliances and you can deploy up to 9 of these in addition to the combined VR appliance within the same vCenter Server.
The VR server is the component that receives replica updates from the source ESXi and stores it at the target datastores.
If you have multiple hosts at the DR site with long geographical distance between them, but still managed by the same vCenter Server, you can deploy additional VR server(s) closer to the hosts, so that replication traffic route is optimized.
Regards,
Martin

Re: Epson PoS TM-H6000iv
Hello All!
I'm delighted to be able to finally announce that we believe the issue with the Epson printers has been resolved in Horizon View 5.3 which was officially made available on our download page yesterday. (20th November 2013).
This should stop the Epson driver locking up, preventing the printers (and some of the Epson scanners) from working in a View desktop.
However, please note, that "out of the box" the device will still have issues. You need to apply some special configuration that enables this special mode to workaround the driver issue.
- Install View Agent 5.3 in the View desktop virtual machine.
- Use the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and create a USB folder under HKLM\Software\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\ (if it doesn't already exist)
- Add the registry information described in the following example:
Assuming that the vid pid (vendor ID and product ID) of the Epson printer is Vid_04b8&Pid_0202, you would add the following registry value:
HKLM\Software\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\USB\Vid_04b8&Pid_0202\DeviceFlags = DWORD: 0x1000
Note: You must always create the registry option because it is device-specific and this special mode of operation should not be applied across all devices - just for the specific Epson device. Note also that depending on the model of printer or scanner that you have, the Vid/Pid may be different so you will need to check that in Device Manager (or in the view debug logs)
Do post back and let me know if this resolves the issues you have seen.
Many thanks,

vCenter Update Manager IP address
Hi Folks,
Recently we had a controller failure on our HP DL360 G5 server and OS won't boot as disks are unavailable. We manage to install vCenter Server 5.U 3 quickly on a spare server lying nearby and point to existing DB. The new server retained the old server IP as we dont want to make IP changes which would affect our client connectivity.
I have reinstalled Update Manager from scratch and get option to provide vCenter IP and login details and all looks normal, except when i install plugin and hit configuration tab, the IP address shown is Old IP the spare server had and doesn't show the IP that i expect. To put it in details
VC1 - 192.168.170.101
VC1-DR - 192.168.170.102
VC1 crashed and we got VC1-DR up quickly, changed ip address to 192.168.170.101 and installed vCenter Server. Update Manager for some reason shows me 192.168.170.102 where as i expect .101.
I have followed instructions on KB 101322 and extension.xml has right ip (.101) and cannot figure out where this IP is stored. Appreciate any advise that might help me to fix this issue.
