vRA takes hours to discover new dynamic types in vRO

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

After creating a dynamic type in vRO, we need to create a custom resource in vRA that links to the dynamic type. vRA sometimes takes hours for the vRO dynamic type to be a selectable "resource type" .

Environment

Aria Automation 8.11.2

DynamicTypes plug-in

Cause

The EndpointConfigurationService was returning null as a configuration version and the plugin was not checking for null version values.

Resolution

Workaround:

• Restart vco pods:
  
  

kubectl -n prelude scale deployment vco-app --replicas=0

kubectl -n prelude scale deployment vco-app --replicas=1 (1 for single appliance and 3 if cluster)

 

Permanent solution:

• Upgrade to Aria Automation 8.18.1

or

• Install new DynamicTypes plug-in.
