Cloud Director Availability Plug-In is automatically published for all Organizations with replication rights in Cloud Director

Products

• VMware Cloud Director

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

• In the Cloud Director Portals, the Cloud Director Availability Plug-In is automatically published for all Organizations with replication rights.
• After explicitly unpublishing the Cloud Director Availability Plug-In for an Organization from the Cloud Director Provider Portal, the plug-in is republished automatically an hour later.

Environment

VMware Cloud Director Availability 4.x

Cause

This behaviour occurs because the Cloud Director Availability Plug-In is re-published each time Cloud Director Availability synchronizes the Replication Policies with Cloud Director.

This synchronization can be initiated manually and automatically occurs every hour for all the Organizations that have any protection or migration rights in a Cloud Director Availability Replication Policy.

Resolution

This is an expected behaviour in Cloud Director Availability 4.x.

To unpublish the Cloud Director Availability Plug-In for a Cloud Director Organization, assign a Replication Policy with no protection or migration rights to the desired Organization.

Additional Information

For more information, see the Configuring Replication Policies section of the Cloud Director Availability documentation.
