This will be fixed in future release
Workaround:
- Take a snapshot of the vCenter node.
- Stop VPXD and Content library service using below commands:
- service-control --stop vpxd
- service-control --stop vmware-content-library
- Connect to VCDB using command
- /opt/vmware/vpostgres/current/bin/psql -U postgres -d VCDB
- Run the below command to list the scheduled tasks created.
- select scheduledtask_id, name, notification from vpx_scheduledtask;
scheduledtask_id | name | notification
------------------+--------------------------------------------------+-----------------
108 | VMware vSphere Update Manager Check Notification |
106 | VMware vSphere Update Manager Update Download |
107 | Host Scan | [email protected]
(3 rows)
As you can see the "notification" field for "Check Notification" and "Update download" scheduled task is blank.
- Select the scheduledtask_id without the notification and run command as shown below:
update vpx_scheduledtask set notification = 'email id' where scheduledtask_id = "id from above output";
Example:
update vpx_scheduledtask set notification = '[email protected]' where scheduledtask_id = 108;
update vpx_scheduledtask set notification = '[email protected]' where scheduledtask_id = 106;
- Above command will result in below changes.
Example:
VCDB=# select scheduledtask_id, name, notification from vpx_scheduledtask;
scheduledtask_id | name | notification
------------------+--------------------------------------------------+-----------------
108 | VMware vSphere Update Manager Check Notification | [email protected]
106 | VMware vSphere Update Manager Update Download | [email protected]
107 | Host Scan | [email protected]
(3 rows)
- Start vpxd and content library service.
service-control --start vpxd
service-control --start vmware-content-library
- Relogin to HTML5-Client. The task will get updated with the notification email and next time scheduled task gets executed the task will trigger the email.
