Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
  • Uploads to catalog fail with the error "Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password. - Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password."
  • The upload "Imported Media File" task may also hang indefinitely without an error being observed.
  • Catalog uploads previously worked successfully without issue.
  • Within the /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/logs/vcloud-container-debug.log you observe an error similar to the following:

Environment

VMware Cloud Director 10.x

Cause

This issue occurs when the vSAN namespace object is completely full. 

All catalog media images (ISO files) are uploaded by Cloud Director as file objects into a directory structure under a single folder, which results in the namespace filling up. A namespace object has a maximum size of 255 GB.

Resolution

VMware does not recommend using vSAN storage for catalogs in Cloud Director. Other storage solutions should be utilized for catalogs.
