Environment

VMware Cloud Director 10.6.1.2

Cause

This issue occurs as the error message which was generated is discarded rather than being associated correctly to the task after the RDE transitions to RESOLUTION_ERROR state. This causes the resulting task to display a generic HTTP 500 Internal Server Error.

Resolution

This is a known issue affecting VMware Cloud Director 10.6.1.2.
Currently, there is no resolution.
