Issue/Introduction

When attempting to save an Avi Service Engine Group, the following error message may be encountered:

ServerFaultCode: Request missing value for required parameter 'profileIds' to method 'PbmRetrieveContent'

Example screenshot of the error:

Environment

Avi version 31.2.x

Cause

This issue occurs because the vCenter service account configured on the Avi Cloud connector lacks the necessary permissions to access and retrieve Virtual Machine storage policies.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, you must update the permissions for the vCenter service account.

Starting with Avi Load Balancer version 31.2.1, the service account requires additional storage policy permissions to function correctly.

Please ensure the following permissions are granted to the service account under Virtual Machine > Storage Policies:

• Apply VM storage policies
• View VM storage policies
