Issue/Introduction

When deploying VMware Could Foundation on Dell VxRail, Cloud Builder will fail to validate configuration.

Running the API Call in the command line will fail, despite using the correct parameters.

  • {"majorErrorCode" : 404, "name":"com.vmware.vapi.rest.httpNotFound","localizableMessages" : [{ "args" : [], "defaultMessage":"Not found.","id":"com.vmware.vapi.rest.httpNotFound"}], "type":"com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.not_found","value" : {"messages" : [{"args" : [], "default_message" :"Not found.","id":"com.vmware.vapi.rest.httpNotFound"

 

Environment

Cloud Builder

VxRail Manager

Cause

The issue is in the VxRail Manager.  Please engage Dell Support for assistance in correcting this mismatch.

 

Resolution

This is an issue with VxRail Manager and should be investigated by Dell Support.

 

Additional Information

To first test the API calls for the portgroups command use Vxrailmanager stoplight to make sure the API was correct

• https://VXRM_FQDN/rest/vxm/api-doc.html#/operations/v1_system_cluster_portgroups_get
  • The output will still fail as in the CLI and Cloud Builder
    • 
• In VxRail Manager run "tool_box.py" script
  • 
• In VxRail Manager confirm the values of VXRM and vCenter's VMs MOREF-ID
• Changing the MOREF-ID's to match what vCenter is using will allow the API Call to succeed
