I've followed the documented steps to import about 70 unmanaged VMs into vRA. The import succeeded for 21 of the VMs but the other 50 show a status of UnprovisionMachine when looking at the Managed Machines list.
Looking at the log I can see an Information entry that says "RegisterVmFromQueueActivity.ProcessElement" for each of the VMs. Shortly after that message there's this message for each of the VMs that failed:
Machine mkt-bmcfarla-5: Request update in service catalog failed One or more errors occurred..
Inner Exception: One or more errors occurred.
Unfortunately, it doesn't give any more detailed information. The stack trace doesn't tell me anything useful. So my first question is where can I find the actual error that occurred?
The system then apparently retries several times and eventually gives an error stating that the retry limit has been exceeded and that the VM will be destroyed. Fortunately it doesn't appear to have actually destroyed anything yet but I'm concerned that it will. These VMs are still in use. So the next question is how can I tell vRA to let go of these machines so I can try again? Or put another way, how can I make the machines "unmanaged" again? Or how can I get them out of the "UnprovisionMachine" status?
