Collection the certificateInfo.status data from an ESXi host immediatley following an upgrade to v8.0x will fail for approximately 4 hours

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

An Aria Automation Orchestrator action queries and ESXi Host value from configManager.certificateManager.certificateInfo.status, and uses the Javascript runtime environment, will fail to get the data for approximately 4 hours.  Using the Powershell runtime environment (and respective script), the data is immediately available.

Environment

Aria Automation Orchestrator v8.16.0 with the VC 8.0.3.22231302 plugin installed, and connected to a vCenter 8.0.3 endpoint

Cause

The VC plug-in has default values for cached data that may be preventing the collection 

Resolution

Create (and modify as needed) the following values as system properties in the Orchestrator Control Center:

com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vi4.cache.main.expirationSeconds = 600
com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vi4.cache.live.objects.expirationSeconds = 600
com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vi4.cache.clearOnSessionRefresh = true
