Environment

VMware vRealize Automation 8.x

Cause

This issue is caused by missing defaultOrgName in vIDM configuration if vRA was initially installed 8.2 or earlier version.

Resolution

Known issue with all VRA's that were initially installed 8.2 or earlier versions and trying an upgrade to 8.7 and above.

Workaround:
To workaround this issue, set the missing defaultOrgName by reapplying vIDM configuration.

1. If you already tried to upgrade and it failed, revert back to the snapshot
2. Open an SSH to vRA appliance
3. Run the command to check the current VIDM configuration:

vracli vidm

Note: The output should be missing the defaultOrgName field.

4. Run the below command:

vracli vidm set <URL of vIDM> <vIDM Admin> <vRA configuration admin>
 

For example:
vracli vidm set https://vidm-node.local admin configadmin

Note: You will be prompted to enter password for vIDM.

 

5. Apply vIDM configuration: 

vracli vidm apply

6. Start vRA services again:

/opt/scripts/deploy.sh

7. Retry the upgrade.
