VCF Operations for Networks

Issue/Introduction

  • Attempts to add or authenticate a new manager/controller fail during the validation phase.
  • VCF Operations for Networks 6.14.1 is in use.
  • The issue is most prevalent in environments where Cisco ACI operates in a High Availability (HA) cluster.
  • System logs may show intermittent authentication errors or session timeouts:

Environment

VCF Operations for Networks 6.14.1

Cause

The application was manually managing cookie headers. In HA environments, certain managers require specific routing cookies to ensure session persistence (stickiness) to a specific cluster node. Manual header management interfered with this process, causing requests to hit nodes without an active session context.

Resolution

This is a known issue impacting VCF Operations for Networks (Formerly Aria Operations for Networks)

Workaround:

If you believe you have encountered this issue, please open a support case with Broadcom Support and refer to this KB article. For more information, see Creating and managing Broadcom support cases.
