Change owner fails for deployments onboarded with attached disks in Aria Automation

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

• After onboarding deployments to Aria Automation 8.18.x, performing a change owner day 2 action produces this error:

ClassNotFoundException: Provider for jakarta.ws.rs.ext.RuntimeDelegate cannot be found

Environment

• Aria Automation 8.18.x

Cause

• Resources in Catalog DB found that properties JSON for this entity does not have the projectAuthLink and ownerAuthLink properties set.
• This can be checked with running below command in catalog-db: 

select * from dep_resource_data drd where resource_id = '<resource_id>';

#resource_id is a disk, "ownerAuthLink": null, "__...", "project AuthLink": null

 

Resolution

Fix 

This issue is fixed for new deployments in 8.18.1, however a "Change Owner" Day 2 action will not work on a VM / deployment previously onboarded, prior to upgrading to version 8.18.1

For such deployments, we can initiate a fresh onboarding of VM / deployment in Aria Automation 8.18.1 and perform the Day 2 action of 'Change Owner', or else use the workaround below. 

 

Workaround

1. Change the project of the affected deployment (to a different or new project)
2. Change the project of the deployment back to the original project
3. Now it should be possible to perform the change owner.
