In reply to Maldacai. The process here is unlikely to work with 5.1 due to the changes in that release. You should follow the product documentation and also the SSL process.

In reply to Maldacai. Hi Maldacai, it looks like you are missing the hostname or ip address in the URL there. You need to execute the command from the correct location. Also that process was for VCVA 5.0 and may have changed with 5.1. What version are you trying to use?

In reply to Maldacai.

Well I'm able to running the command, but when it asks me "Do you want to unregister this vCentre Server System IP_ADDRESS" Y/N

I get the error Cannon Connect to vsphere Web Client administration tool.

I tried Localhost instead of IP and I get the same.

This is a freshly deployed appliance, only accepted the EULA as mentioned above, nothing else done.

Any thoughts.

In reply to Maldacai. I can see the contents of the admin-cmd.sh with the vi command but can't run it.

Hi, I'm following your instructions above to unregister vcenter from the vcentre appliance and I'm getting the error "command not found"

I've logged on to the server appliance from the console side and navigated to "cd /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-client/scripts" in that folder I do see admin-cmd.sh

I then enter "admin-cmd unregister https://:9443/vsphere-client localhost root " press enter and I get "bash: admin-cmd: command not found"

am I missing somthing?

Thanks

In reply to Rahul Venu. Hi Rahul, I'm not aware of any documented behavior such as you describe. It is not what I would expect. Did you raise this with VMware Support?

I was trying to connect to the VCVA from a different network. I tried different browsers, flash was installed, reinstalled the VCVA, I was able to ping the appliance. And finally I connected to the appliance from the same network of VCVA and configured the database. Now it is working from all my networks!!.

Is there any such recommendations that one should connect to the appliance from the same Network(vlan) for the initial configuration?

Thank you so much…

In reply to Rahul Venu.

Hi Rahul, have you tried a different browser? Have you tried rebooting the VCVA? Connecting to https://ip:5480/ should pop up a flash screen. Do you have flash on your machine? What troubleshooting have you tried? Have you considered logging a support request with VMware Support?
