•  The issue typically occurs after restoring Aria Suite Lifecycle from backup or migrating to a different vCenter
•  The Aria Suite Lifecycle appliance's moref id in vCenter differs from whats stored in its own filesystem. The moref id is stored as the vCenterId in the file /opt/vmware/etc/vami/ovfEnv.xml on the Aria Suite Lifecycle appliance. To check the moref id in vCenter you can use the vCenter mob or you can browse to the Aria Sutie lifecycle appliance in the vSphere client and check the moref in the browser url:

 

 

Environment

Cause

The issue occurs when the Aria Suite Lifecycle appliance's moref id in vCenter differs from whats stored in its own filesystem as the vCenterId in the file /opt/vmware/etc/vami/ovfEnv.xml

Resolution

To resolve the issue correct the stale moref entry in the /opt/vmware/etc/vami/ovfEnv.xml file:

1. Snapshot the Aria Suite Lifecycle appliance.
2. Confirm the correct moref id of the Aria Suite Lifecycle appliance in vCenter. You can browse to the Aria Suite lifecycle appliance in the vSphere client and check the moref in the browser url:

3. Open the /opt/vmware/etc/vami/ovfEnv.xml file in a text editor and change the vCenterId value to match the moref id documented step 2:

vi /opt/vmware/etc/vami/ovfEnv.xml

To exit the text editor and save the changes type:

:wq!

4. Test again the failing operation, it should now succeed.
