Resolved Issues
The following issues that were documented as known issues in previous releases have been fixed in 1.4.0:
- OVA endpoint appears as null in plug-in when deploying multiple instances of the vSphere Integrated Containers appliance. #365
The plug-in installer marks only the exact vSphere Integrated Containers appliance that it shipped with as being managed by the plug-in and does not mark any other appliances as such. This can cause some unexpected behaviors such as the OVA endpoint appearing as null if you deploy multiple appliances to the same vCenter Server instance. - VCH inventory list and create wizard fails to load when vCenter Server session expires. #228
If the vCenter server authentication session expires, reloading the VCH inventory list hangs with the errorCould not find any VIC appliance VM
. Attempts to create a VCH fail with the errorError creating VCH
. - Plug-in does not appear after successful installation and restart of the vSphere Client services. #299
If you have successfully installed the plug-in and restarted the vSphere Client services and you do not see the plug-in in the vSphere Client, you might be encountering an SSL certificate mismatch issue. This can occur if the root CA on the vCenter Server Virtual Appliance is updated, either by upgrading to a newer build of vSphere or by running the VMCA Certificate Manager. - Plug-in upgrade script incorrectly warns that you are trying to install an older version. #183
When you run the plug-in upgrade script to upgrade from 1.2.x to 1.3.x, the output warns you thatYou are trying to install plugins of an older or same version
even when you are installing a later version of the plug-in.
