Environment

VMware Cloud Director

Cause

This is due to multiple Solution Landing Zones created with multiple tenants. One of the tenants used for testing the configuration was also deleted.

Resolution

It is possible to delete the configured Solution Add-On Landing Zone via the Cloud Director OpenAPI and configure it again as per the steps below.

WARNING: The Solution Add-On Landing Zone should only be deleted if there are no solution add-ons present. If add-ons are present then they should be removed before deleting the Solution Add-On Landing Zone. Deleting the add-ons will also require removing all of the instances and capabilities of these add-ons and can only be done if they are not in use.

1. Using API, get a list of the stale Solution Landing Zones created. The below request will write the output to a file.
   
   curl -k -v -X GET "https://<VCD FQDN or IP> /cloudapi/1.0.0/entities/types/vmware/solutions_organization/1.0.0" --header "Accept:application/*;version=38.1" --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>" > /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/data/transfer/apioutput.txt
   
   

2. For each entry, carry out the delete with the below request:
   
   curl -k -v -X DELETE "https://<VCD FQDN or IP>/cloudapi/1.0.0/entities/<each URN from the GET request>" --header "Accept:application/*;version=38.1" --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>" 

3. Create the Solution Landing Zone again as per the documentation.
