After a long long rest I dusted off the VMdamentals.com blog site and I’m ready to rock again! This time with an error in vCAC 6.01 that I could not get solved… But finally did \ud83d\ude09\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n



\n“You cannot perform that action because the system cannot connect to the provider at https:\/\/vcac:8281\/vco\/api\/”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the error that kept popping up everywhere. As soon as vCAC 6.01 touched vCenter Orchestrator this would <\/p>\n

pop up. Strangely, there wasn’t all too much to change in the setup, as I was using the internal vCO engine embedded inside the vCAC appliance.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a>

What to do if vCAC keeps spitting this error at you?<\/p><\/div>\n

So what to do? First I asked Google<\/a>. I found two possible answers:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Kendrick Coleman had this<\/a> blogpost;<\/li>\n
  2. This<\/a> VMware Communities discussion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    But neither pointed me to the solution. After banging my head for some time, I tried to simply test the vCO connection:<\/p>\n

    \"Oops.<\/a>

    Oops. That should simply work…<\/p><\/div>\n

    As you can see, simply testing the connection from the vCAC appliance to its own internal vCO workflow engine fails?!?!<\/p>\n

    So next I tried to simply point to the local vCO instance using the “external settings”:<\/p>\n

    \"Pointing<\/a>

    Pointing the vCAC to an external vCO instance but actually pointing to it’s own local vCO instance.<\/p><\/div>\n

    After checking, the connection was now successful! And as a result… The infamous error “You cannot perform that action because the system cannot connect to the provider at https:\/\/vcacserver:8281\/vco\/api\/” disappeared.<\/p>\n
