Issue/Introduction

Error when powering on VMware Cloud Director VMs with guest customization enabled.

HTTP NFC Error. Cannot deploy package from /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/tmp/<CAB_FILENAME> to '<CAB_FILENAME>'. - Could not create folder "file:///opt/vmware/vcloud-director/data/transfer/gosc". - Could not create directory "/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/data/transfer/gosc".

Environment

VMware Cloud Director 10.x

Cause

This issue occurs when there is a permission issue in transfer folder. 

Resolution

The NFS server must allow read-write access to the shared location by the root system account on each server machine in your Cloud Director.
Set chmod 1777 permissions on the NFS server.

To resolve the permission issue in transfer folder, see Cloud Director requirements when using NFS for the transfer server storage.
