    (unusable: com.vmware.vim.vmomi.client.exception.VmomiProtocolException: com.vmware.vim.vmomi.core.exception.UnmarshallException: Type 'ServiceContent' contains unrecognized property 'siteInfoManager')
  • Existing custom workflows or other workflows in vRO fail to execute with errors similar to
    vmodl.fault.InvalidType


Environment

Cause

vSphere APIs used by the vSphere vCenter Server Plug-in for vRealize Orchestrator can break after vSphere is upgraded to a later version and the plugin within vRO is not updated to the latest release.

Resolution

  1. Download the latest vRealize Orchestrator vCenter plugin for vSphere 6.5+ version from vSphere vCenter Server Plug-in for vRealize Orchestrator
  2. Install the new version of the plugin by using the vRealize Orchestrator Control Center, under Plugins.
