Verify Cloud Template Configuration from the
vCloud Director Catalog
Verify the cloud template configuration before you use the template in Application Services to avoid
deployment failures.
If your cloud template has a customization script, Application Services overwrites the script with its own
guest customization script. You use the guest customization script to set up the virtual machine so that it
can communicate with the Application Services server to complete the deployment process.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that vCloud Director 5.1.2 or 5.5 is installed and configured.
n
Verify that the virtual machine template is uploaded to the vCloud Director and registered as a vApp
template in a vCloud Director catalog.
For instructions, see the vCloud Director documentation.
Procedure
1 From the vCloud Director Web interface, manually instantiate a request to create a copy of the vApp
to your cloud environment.
2 To verify that the guest customization process was successful, open the log file
at /var/log/vmware-imc/customization.log and check that it shows that the customization
completed with a status of success.
3 Check that an active and correct IP address exists for the IP assignment from vCloud Director.
4 Open and examine the agent bootstrap log file located at /opt/vmware-
appdirector/agent/logs/agent_bootstrap.log.
5 Verify that the Application Services agent boot service ran and attempted to download the Application
Services agent JAR file from the Application Services server.
The attempt to download the JAR file is expected to fail at this point. The download process is
successful when Application Services deploys the vApp from a Application Services execution plan.
What to do next
Verify that the items listed in Virtual Machine Requirements for Creating vCloud Director Custom
Templates are present in the vApp and that they function properly.
Updating Existing Virtual Machine Templates in
vCloud Director
To update the content of an existing Linux or Windows template, or to use it for creating a new template,
you must run applicable commands to remove the agent bootstrap service.
