SPS NotEnoughLicenses error in vCloud Director debug log

By admin on January 15, 2013 in Cloud Computing

Building a new vCloud Director environment today, I was experiencing issues trying to deploy a new vAPP. Every time I deployed a vAPP I got the error Failed to Create. So what was going on? I could deploy VMs in vSphere, vCloud Director was deploying the VMs in vSphere, and I could power them on manually from vSphere!?!. Clicking on the error gave me no information at all, and it showed that the VM was successfully being deployed too! I needed to take a look at the log files on the VCD cell to see whats happening. I SSH’d to the cell and issued the following commands: cd /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/logs cat vcloud-container-debug.log | grep -i error 2013-01-14 10:44:10,288 | ERROR | sf-activity-pool-2 | SpbmServiceImpl | SPS NotEnoughLicenses failure of 1 attempts to make SPS call at VC 2013-01-14 10:44:12,288 | ERROR | sf-activity-pool-2 | SpbmServiceImpl | SPS NotEnoughLicenses failure of […]

I got asked a question by @erikbussink today about whether you can add in newly created storage profile to an already existing Provider VDC (PvDC). I initially looked in the wrong area for this, and answered no! However after opening my eyes, I realised that it is actually possible and I should have realised straight away. Before trying to add in a new profile, first make sure you have refreshed the storage profiles in vCloud Director by following my previous article. To add a new profile follow the steps below: Login to vCloud Director Select Manage and Monitor Select Provider VDC Select Storage Profiles from the tab along the top Click the green + (plus) and you will be prompted with the add storage profile window Select the storage profile, click add and then ok You will then see the new storage profile assigned with a green tick showing you […]
