Importing vROps into vRSLCM fails

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
Importing vROps in vRSLCM fails with log indicating that API communication with vROps failed.

Environment

VMware vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 1.3
VMware vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 1.2
VMware vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 1.x

Cause

This issue occurs because vROps doest not support SNI.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in vRLCM 2.0, available at VMware Downloads.

To resolve this issue in vRLCM 1.3 and earlier versions, disable the SNI.

To disable the SNI in vRLCM:

1. Open the /usr/share/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh file.
2. Update the entry:

From:

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS $LCM_GC_OPTS "

To:

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS $LCM_GC_OPTS -Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false"

2. Restart the engine service:

systemctl restart vlcm-server

Note : Marketplace sync requires the SNI to be enabled. So after completion of the vROps related tasks, revert the changes in the catalina.sh file and restart the engine service.
