juju bootstrap fails with vSphere 6.0

[Forstner Michael]

Hi Ed,

Thanks for the hints, but to be honest I do not really get what you’re talking about :-)
My vSphere 6 Environment is not hosted by myself (or my company). We’re renting a complete package consisting of one vSphere datacenter (2 Hosts and 2 Storages). I am controlling the vSphere datacenter from my MacBook via VMWare Horizon and via the vSphere Client running inside a local Windows VM.

As already mentioned, the API access to the vSphere API seems to work as VMWare’s go client is able to fetch information from the environment.
Since I am getting some XML parsing error from the ‘juju bootstrap’ command I was wondering how can I enable further debugging options in order to trace down the problem.

Thanks and regards,
Michael

Hey Michael,

I had to install a couple libraries on my MaaS, if you watch the logs it will tell you. However I use VIRSH to control my vsphere 6.
( sudo apt-get install python-libvirt )

user: Administrator at asdf.vsphere.local<mailto:Administrator at asdf.vsphere.local>
esxi host: 33.33.33.3
vsphere: 44.44.44.44

Power address:
vpx://Administrator%40asdf.vsphere.local@44.44.44.44/Architecture-Lab/33.33.33.3?no_verify=1<vpx://Administrator@asdf.vsphere.local@44.44.44.44/Architecture-Lab/33.33.33.3?no_verify=1>
power ID:
name-of-vm
power pass:
thePassForTheUserAbove


I know this isn’t the vsphere adapter information, but this is how I connected.

You can test from the MaaS cli via:
virsh -c vpx://Administrator%40asdf.vsphere.local@44.44.44.44/Architecture-Lab/33.33.33.3?no_verify=1<vpx://Administrator@asdf.vsphere.local@44.44.44.44/Architecture-Lab/33.33.33.3?no_verify=1> list --all


Hope this helps.

- Ed

Hey Michael, apologies for the issues!

I'm going to loop in Sergey who helped work on the vSphere provider.

Hi all,

I am trying to get startet with juju and VMWare vSphere 6.0 for a private Cloud scenario.
The ‘juju bootstrap’ command fails with following output:

Bootstrap failed, cleaning up the environment.
ERROR there was an issue examining the environment: failed to create new client: XML syntax error on line 1: illegal character code U+001F

Just to ensure the vSphere API is accessible and my credentials are working, I’ve downloaded VMWare’s go client from https://github.com/vmware/govmomi.
Running this client with same settings as in ~/.juju/environment.yml for host, user and password runs fine.

So my question would be if the (experimental?) support of vSphere in juju works with vSphere v6.0 and how can further debugging options be enabled?

Many thanks in advance,
Michael
