Environment

Vmware Cloud Foundation 4.5
VMware Cloud Foundation 4.x

Cause

In vRLI 8.10, port 443 was disabled for API access. New API access uses port 9543, i.e.: https://<vRLI-FQDN>:9543/api/v1/sessions and hence VCF 4.5 and lower versions of VCF are not compatible with vRealize Log Insight 8.10 

Refer: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/4.5/rn/vmware-cloud-foundation-45-release-notes/index.html

Resolution

The issue is resolved in VCF 4.5.1 and VCF 5.0.

Workaround:
No workaround for 4.5.0 and lower versions of VCF
