Missing library content in vCenter Orchestrator

November 11, 2014

Every once in a while when i login to my vCenter Orchestrator (vCO) 5.5 appliance, soon to be called vRealize Orchestrator (vRO), i find a lot of the the library content missing so a while back i decided to create a blog post about it when it happens next time. While logging in to my development vCO appliance today i only saw the following library content:

To restore the original library content including the packages i take the following steps.

  1. log in to the vCO management server http://vCO-ip-addess:8283
  2. Go to the Troubleshooting section available form the left hand panel and click the link Reset current version

  4. Wait until the restart process is finished and login to the vCO appliance and all the library content and packages are back.

That simple:)

I understand this can be caused by my poor vCO appliance management since it runs as a VM on my MacBook meaning a proper shutdown is not that common….

I might create a SR in the future to see if a solution (apart from proper shutdown routines) is available so this can be avoided. If so, i’ll update this blog post.

Please be sociable & share if you liked the blog post
