To work around this issue on vCenter Server Appliance 5.5 GA (Build Number 1312297), add this line into the Identity Management daemon (IDMD) on the vCenter Server Appliance:
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
Note: This issue does not affect vCenter Server installed on a Windows operating system.
To add the line to IDMD:
- Connect to the vCenter Server Appliance via SSH. For more information, see Enable or Disable SSH Administrator Login on the VMware vCenter Server Appliance in the vCenter Server and Host Management Guide.
- Open the vmware-sts-idmd file (located at /etc/init.d/) using VI editor. For more information, see Editing files on an ESX host using vi or nano (1020302).
- Add the line:
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
For example, change the default configuration file from:
maxRam=$DEFAULT_MAX_RAM maxPerm=$DEFAULT_MAX_PERM if [ -x $CLOUDVM_RAM_SIZE ]; then maxRam=`$CLOUDVM_RAM_SIZE $SERVICE_NAME`
if [ $? -ne 0 ];
then maxRam=$DEFAULT_MAX_RAM fi fi $JSVC_BIN -procname $SERVICE_NAME \ -server \ -Xmx${maxRam}m \ -XX:MaxPermSize=${maxPerm}m \ -home $JAVA_HOME \ -pidfile $PIDFILE \
To:
maxRam=$DEFAULT_MAX_RAM maxPerm=$DEFAULT_MAX_PERM
if [ -x $CLOUDVM_RAM_SIZE ]; then maxRam=`$CLOUDVM_RAM_SIZE $SERVICE_NAME` if [ $? -ne 0 ];
then maxRam=$DEFAULT_MAX_RAM fi fi export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 $JSVC_BIN -procname $SERVICE_NAME \ -server \ -Xmx${maxRam}m \ -XX:MaxPermSize=${maxPerm}m \ -home $JAVA_HOME \ -pidfile $PIDFILE \
- Save and close the vmware-sts-idmd configuration file.
- Restart the Identity Management daemon by running this command:
service vmware-sts-idmd restart
