Failed to
execute '/usr/sbin/vpxd_servicecfg 'ad' 'test' 'vkunal@vcloud.lab' CENSORED
'vcloud.lab'':
VC_CFG_RESULT=309(Error:
Invalid hostname. FQDN is required for joining a domain.)
I was in the process of rebuilding my virtual lab, while setting up vCenter appliance 5.5 I got above error, that not able to connect to active directory. As I knew we can reconfigure this option later, I proceeded with rest of the setup and decided to troubleshoot it later and removed check box from active directory using back button.
Everything got configured correctly except AD authentication, as I have
habit to document everything and already created seme on installing
and configuring vcenter appliance 5.5. After comparison I found what mistake I did
(missed one step) while configuring vcenter appliance which can be seen here.
I didn’t provided FQDN. Which was not allowing me to enabling active directory
and it was failing.
VC_CFG_RESULT=302(Error: Enabling Active Directory failed.)
To change host name I puttied into vcenter appliance and used below
commands to verify and correct it.
echo vc001.vcloud.lab
> /etc/HOSTNAME
hostname vc001.vcloud.lab
Then verified it using commands that I able to see FQDN correctly.
hostname
cat /etc/hostname
I also made DNS entries (forward and reverse) for vCenter appliance (Best
practices link)
Then checked name resolution from appliance itself.
And in the last, reconfiguration AD authentication was successful (under
reconfigure vcenter server\Authentication)
Restart appliance one more time to take effect for changes made to AD
configuration,
After all this done When I tried to login with vmware vsphere web
client. I faced another issue
Failed to connect to VMware Lookup Service https://vc001.vcloud.lab:7444/lookupservice/sdk - SSL certificate verification failed.
For this I enabled certificate regeneration under admin tab and
submitted it.
One more restart require for this. And after I am able to login
successfully through VMware web client.
