To resolve this issue, correct the ownership of the
/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/etc/cmt-logging.properties file on the VCD Cell.
- Change Directory to /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/etc/ where the cmt-logging.properties is located.
cd /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/etc/
- Check the current permissions on the file.
ls -l cmt-logging.properties
An example of incorrect properties would be the following:
-r-------- 1 root root 2090 Apr 3 15:47 cmt-logging.properties
- Change the owner to the vcloud user.
chown vcloud:vcloud cmt-logging.properties
- Set the permissions on the file to the expected default.
chmod 640 cmt-logging.properties
- Confirm that the owner and permissions are updated.
ls -l cmt-logging.properties
An example of incorrect properties would be the following:
-rw-r----- 1 vcloud vcloud 2090 Apr 3 15:47 cmt-logging.properties
- Retry the cell-management-tool command which was previously failing, for example:
/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/bin/cell-management-tool -u administrator cell -t
