vCO vApp Upgrade Issue

So I decided to remediate my vCO vApp to the latest version, 4.2.1.  Everything went smooth after attaching the baseline that I created to upgrade it through VUM.  Upgrade looked successful, went to login and received:

:thumbsdown: Can’t connect to host…

After re-reading the release notes, I noticed the first Known Issue for Installation was:

After you upgrade the Orchestrator appliance to version 4.2.1, the Orchestrator server might not start automatically

So following the workaround provided I proceeded to:

  • Log in to the appliance home page.
  • Click Orchestrator Configuration, and log in.
  • Click the Database tab on the left, and click Update database.
  • Click the Startup Options tab on the left.
  • Click Start service.[/list]

This didn’t seem to resolve the issue for me.  I was still unable to login.  So what to do…I decided that I may need to clear all temporary files on the server.  You can do this by:

  • Log in to the appliance home page.
  • Click Orchestrator Configuration, and log in.
  • Click the Startup Options tab on the left.
  • Click Stop service.
  • Click the Troubleshooting tab on the left.
  • Click Clean directories.
  • Click the Startup Options tab on the left again.
  • Click Start service.[/list]

Viola!  This seem to resolve the issue I was having of logging in via the Orchestrator Client.
