I'm following the guide:
http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vCloud/VMW-vRealize-Automation-61-Deployment-Guide-HA.pdf
to deploy vCAC in an HA design behind an F5 LTM.
im running into two issues:
1.
I am only able to get this config to work (services all report registered) if i update the /etc/hosts file on the appliances and add the F5 VIP DNS entry to the local host line in the hosts file. The problem is it removes that entry every time the server is restarted. I considered adding the modification to the init.d but figured there was probably a reason they overwrite the file and a better way to resolve this issue.
Has anyone gotten this to work without adding that entry? if so how?
2.
i am not able to actually browse to the vcac appliance using the F5 VIP DNS name. it just sits an spins and eventually times out. If i decrypt and re-encrypt on the F5 everything works fine.
My SSL cert is issued to the F5 VIP DNS name with the server names as SANs.
Has anyone gotten this wokring using the settings in the guide above? Id prefer not to needlessly decrypt/re-encrypt on the F5 if i don't need to.
