Aria Operations for Networks - VCF licenses not reflecting in UI.

Products

• VCF Operations for Networks

Issue/Introduction

• This article addresses an issue where newly added VCF entitlements are not reflected in Aria Operations for Networks 6.14.x (vRNI), despite successfully syncing in other products.
  
  
• vCenter is successfully connected as a data source, and the infrastructure status is healthy with no apparent issues. This issue occurs only when keybased license is used in Aria Operations for Networks 6.14.x.
  
  
• Reviewing the restapilayer.log (located at /var/log/arkin/restapilayer on the Platform) reveals the following error immediately after the system successfully fetches and marks the license as VCF-enabled:
  
  INFO settings.licensing.KeylessLicensingHelper KeylessLicensingVCFLicenseChecker-0 getHighestExpiryVCFEnabledVC:177 vCenter with dpId: VCENTER_###### is VCF_ENABLED

INFO settings.licensing.KeylessLicensingHelper KeylessLicensingVCFLicenseChecker-0 getHighestExpiryVCFEnabledVC:177 vCenter with dpId: VCENTER_###### is VCF_ENABLED

INFO settings.licensing.KeylessLicensingManager KeylessLicensingVCFLicenseChecker-1 fetchAndHandleVCFLicenseInfo:258 No valid VCF license found.

Environment

• Aria Operations for Networks 6.14.x

Cause

• This issue is strictly reporting-based and has no impact on actual license consumption meaning key-based licenses will continue to operate without disruption. This issue is only present when a key-based license is present in Aria Operations for Networks 6.14.x. 

Resolution

• The Broadcom engineering team is aware of this issue and is actively working on a fix, which will be planned for an upcoming release.
