Example: Command to Register a Management Agent Certificate
Vcac-Config.exe RegisterNode -v -vamih "vra-va.eng.mycompany:5480" -cu "root" -cp
"secret" -hn "iaas.eng.mycompany" -nd "C816CFBX-4830-4FD2-8951-C17429CEA291" -tp
"70928851D5B72B206E4B1CF9F6ED953EE1103DED"
Change the Polling Method for Certificates
If you use commas in the OU section of the IaaS certificate, you may encounter STOMP WebSocket
errors in the Manager Service log files and virtual machine provisioning may fail. You can remove the
commas or change the polling method from WebSocket to HTTP to resolve these issues.
See Installing vRealize Automation 7.3 for more information about the Manager Service.
Procedure
1 Open the Manager Service configuration file in a text editor.
The Manager Service configuration file is located at C:\\:Program FIles
(x86)\VMware\vCAC\Server\Manager Service.exe.config.
2 Add the following lines to the <appSettings> section of the Manager Service configuration file.
<add key="Extensibility.Client.RetrievalMethod" value="Polling"/>
<add key="Extensibility.Client.PollingInterval" value="2000"/>
<add key="Extensibility.Client.PollingMaxEvents" value="128"/>
3 Restart the Manager Service.
Managing the vRealize Automation Postgres Appliance
Database
vRealize Automation requires the appliance database for system operation. You can manage the
appliance database through the vRealize Automation Appliance Virtual Appliance Management Interface.
Note This information applies only to deployments that use an embedded appliance database. It does
not apply to deployments that use an external Postgres database.
