After SDDC Manager is rebooted, we see several "Queued" tasks in vCenter Server task bar which state "Creating Workload Domain" and/or "Commissioning Host(s) to VMware Cloud Foundation"

Products

• VMware SDDC Manager
• VMware vCenter Server

Issue/Introduction

• When you reboot SDDC Manager, you may see events like below seen in the vCenter Server Task Bar: 
• SDDC Manager may have recently been updated 

• The tasks will eventually timeout and fail 
• If you reboot the vCenter Server, tasks get cancelled
• In vCenter Server journalctl logs we may see events similar to below: 

[2025-##-##T##:##:##.######] [vim.event.TaskEvent] [info] [[email protected]] [] [########] [Task: Creating Workload Domain]
Jul 21 ##:##:## VCSA.example.com vpxd[########]: Event [########]

[2025-##-##T##:##:##.######][vim.event.TaskEvent] [info] [[email protected]] [] [##########] [Task: Creating Workload Domain]

• However, if you checked vpxd.log on vCenter, no mentiones on these tasks are seen 
• In the SDDC Manager, in operationsmanager.log, you may see entries similar to below: 

2025-##-##T##:##:##.######] WARN  [vcf_om,0000000000000000,0000] [c.v.v.t.services.TaskPublisher,om-scheduler-1] Failed to check for leftover tasks
com.vmware.vim.binding.vmodl.fault.ManagedObjectNotFound: The object 'vim.Task:task-#####' has already been deleted or has not been completely created

 

 

Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 5.2.x

vCenter Server 8.x 

Cause

Old/Stale tasks are left in SDDC Manager and on reboot of SDDC, the tasks reinitialize but will fail or timeout as no longer relevant
