Environment

VMware Integrated OpenStack 2.0.x
VMware Integrated OpenStack 3.0.x
VMware Integrated OpenStack 2.5.x
VMware Integrated OpenStack 1.0.x
VMware Integrated OpenStack 1.x

Resolution

Complete the following steps on the VMware Integrated OpenStack management server:
 
  1. Open the /opt/vmware/vio/etc/omjs.properties configuration file.
  2. Find this line in the file:

    oms.extension.registered = true
  3. Modify the value to

    oms.extension.registered = false
     
  4. Power off the VMware Integrated OpenStack vApp.

    Note: Ensure you do not power off only the management-server virtual machine.
     
  5. Power on the VMware Integrated OpenStack vApp again.
  6. Restart each compute node of your deployment in order to re-register the compute extension into the webclient.

    Note: You cannot perform openstack operation to the compute notes until the compute extension is re-registered.
