Hi,
When attempting to add and external vRO 7 instance to vRA 7 I get the following error: 'Cannot connect on port.'
The vRO 7 instance is already added to vRA in the Infrastructure > Endpoints section and data collection is successful.
Connectivity between vRA and vRO on 8281 is confirmed. The vRA 7 appliance is out of the box configuration albeit with the vRA plugin installed and activated. The Authentication has been changed to SSO (Legacy) to allow vSphere web client integration. The admin group is defined as a VRO admin group in the domain. I am able to login to the client with members of that group.
The vRO 7 appliance has had its SSL certificate replaced with one generated by our internal CA. All certificates in the topology have been imported as well as the vRA SSL certificate, vCenter and root CA.
The Administration > Events > Event Logs show the following repeatedly...
Request to VCO Failed. Error: 85021-Unable to establish connection to vCenter Orchestrator server
The VCAC Catalina.out shows the following error when I attempt the connection in the WEB-UI
Unable to connect on port: '8,281'. Message: read timed out.
Note the strange ',' (comma)?
So far I have tried reconfiguring the VRO 7 instance to use LDAP authentication. This made no difference.
I then have now deployed a completely new vRO 7 instance. Still no difference, same errors.
The connection string I'm using is the fully qualified hostname only. Port is 8281. Authentication is SSO although using BASIC results in the same problem.
Anyone out there using VRA7 with an External vRO 7 instance?
