VMware Cloud Director

Issue/Introduction

  • Cloud Director retained old IP addresses from the previous Linux configuration, which created some warnings in logs.

unable to verify the following cells share the transfer spooling area: <Old Linux Cell IP> (########-####-####-####-########ec8d),<Old Linux Cell IP> (########-####-####-####-########fb71)

  • This indicated that the Cloud Director was trying to verify connections with non-existent cells.
  • As a result, the Cloud Director UI continued to display these outdated IP addresses from the previous Linux setup, which were marked as inactive in the Cloud Cells.

Environment
