Aria Automation upgrade fails with 'Error while deploying services' and 'vco-app' pods failing to come up fully


Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
  • Upgrade fails with 'Error while deploying services.'
  • output of 'kubectl -n prelude get pods' shows most pods running but the 'vco-app' pods are only partially running.
  • Checking 'vco'-app' logs we only see below errors:
    • nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [com.vmware.symphony.csp.auth.service.CspClient]: Factory method 'cspClientService' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: expected system property https.proxyPort to be a number but got empty string

Environment

VMware Aria Automation 8.x

Cause

The issue occurs when the proxy service has been disabled using command vracli proxy disable. This should not be done unless consulted with VMware. The SOAP plugin requires the http.proxyPort property to be non-empty. If you do not wish to leverage the proxy enable it again with the default settings as per the resolution section.

Resolution

To resolve the issue follow the steps outlined below:

1. If using an external HTTP proxy run the following commands to enable the proxy and restart vRO.
# Enable the proxy
vracli proxy enable
# Appy the change
vracli proxy apply

If there is no need of an external proxy, restore the default proxy configuration.
# Delete the current configuration 
vracli proxy delete
# Set the default configuration
vracli proxy set-default
# Apply changes 
vracli proxy apply 


2. To verify that this reset has worked, execute the following command: 

kubectl -n prelude get secret internet.proxy.port -o json | jq -r .data.'"internet.proxy.port"' | base64 -d

If the reset was successful, it should print 3128 


3. Retry the failed LCM upgrade request with the revert to snapshot option set to 'false'

 

Additional Information

If reverted to pre-upgrade snapshots perform steps 1 to 3 and then initiate the upgrade task.

  Issue with Aria Automation Custom form Multi Value Picker and Data Grid https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleNumber=345960 Products VMware Aria Suite Issue/Introduction Symptoms: Getting  error " Expected Type String but was Object ", w hen trying to use Complex Types in MultiValue Picker on the Aria for Automation Custom Form. Environment VMware vRealize Automation 8.x Cause This issue has been identified where the problem appears when a single column Multi Value Picker or Data Grid is used. Resolution This is a known issue. There is a workaround.  Workaround: As a workaround, try adding one empty column in the Multivalue picker without filling the options. So we can add one more column without filling the value which will be hidden(there is a button in the designer page that will hide the column). This way the end user will receive the same view.

  The Guardrails of Automation VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 has redefined private cloud automation. With full-stack automation powered by Ansible and orchestrated through vRealize Orchestrator (vRO), and version-controlled deployments driven by GitOps and CI/CD pipelines, teams can build infrastructure faster than ever. But automation without guardrails is a recipe for risk Enter RBAC and policy enforcement. This third and final installment in our automation series focuses on how to secure and govern multi-tenant environments in VCF 9.0 with role-based access control (RBAC) and layered identity management. VCF’s IAM Foundation VCF 9.x integrates tightly with enterprise identity providers, enabling organizations to define and assign roles using existing Active Directory (AD) groups. With its persona-based access model, administrators can enforce strict boundaries across compute, storage, and networking resources: Personas : Global Admin, Tenant Admin, Contributor, Viewer Projec...
