VMware Cloud Director

Issue/Introduction

  • Copy option on a running vApp greyed out in the Actions menu of Powered-On vApps in the Cloud Director Tenant Portal.
  • Copying the Powered-On vApp via the Cloud Director API succeeds, VMware Cloud Director API CloneVApp.
  • Copy action is available in the Actions menu of the individual Powered-On vApp VMs in the Cloud Director Tenant Portal.

Environment

  • VMware Cloud Director 10.6.1

Cause

This behaviour is caused by a known issue where the Cloud Director Tenant Portal UI does not make the Copy action available for Powered-On vApps.

Resolution

This is a known issue affecting VMware Cloud Director 10.6.1.

To workaround the issue the individual vApp VMs can be cloned to a new vApp, Copy a Virtual Machine to a Different vApp in the VMware Cloud Director Tenant Portal.

Alternatively the Cloud Director API can be used to clone the Powered-On vApp, VMware Cloud Director API CloneVApp.
