Resolution: This issue is resolved in VMware Aria Automation 8.18.1.
Follow either of the resolution:
1. Use a vSphere instance for vSphere Authentication which has a valid license for the polyglot scripting feature assigned to the vCenter asset.
2. Upgrade to Aria Automation 8.18.1 and assign a manual license which is valid for the polyglot scripting feature. Aria Automation 8.18.1 should no longer fail before falling back to checking the manually set license.
Workaround:
Prerequisites:
1. Take simultaneous virtual machine snapshots without memory, with quiescing for each appliance in the cluster.
2. You have access to root
credentials.
3. You have access to SSH utilities such as PuTTy.
4. You have file transfer tools like WinSCP or FileZilla.
Procedure:
1. Download the file titled sr66285.tar.gz
2. SSH into one appliance in the cluster.
3. Upload this file to the appliance using a transfer utility such as WinSCP or an equivalent tool.
4. Run the following command:
(tar -xvf sr66285.tar.gz -C /tmp && chmod a+x /tmp/66285-patch.sh && /tmp/66285-patch.sh
); rm -f /tmp/66285-patch.sh
5. Wait for 15 minutes for services to fully restart.
6. Login to Aria Automation Orchestrator using a new browser session.
7. Verify the issue is resolved by validating that Git Integration and Polyglot Scripting are now available.
