Small 5.1 (vCSA and hosts) test environment running several Server 2008 R2 Standard guests. I pulled down the OVA for VIN and I am struggling mightily over 3+ days to get it to work. Most logging looks very solid, only the activediscovery log shows any issue. I keep getting authorization problems when attemping to discover the guests.
1. VIN is correctly configured in vCenter and is "discovering" objects.
2. When I manually run single.sh the process appears to authenticate to vCenter correctly but then dies on trying to access the guest.
3. It looks to me like I've got all ports necessary open.
4. DNS is resolving forward/backware and I've configured hosts files...pinging back/forth from VIN to guests, vCenter, etc. is all fine.
5. On installing VIN it sure looks to me like the VMware Tools in each machine were reconfigured (based on the Events tab).
6. In one log file I see the message "Server certificate chain not trusted but thumbprint matches"...any thoughts on that being the culprit?
This is driving me insane. An example of what I see in the console when I force a manual discover:
