Aria Ops for Networks deployment fails from Aria Suite LifeCycle Manager.

NSX-T, VCF, , , , , , , ,

In my lab I tried to deploy Aria Operations for Networks 6.12.1 (AON/vRNI) from Aria Suite LifeCycle 8.16 (ASLC/vRLCM). Before the deployment of AON I successfully deployed other products:

vIDM 3.3.7
Aria Operations for Logs 8.16 (vRLI)
Aria Operations 8.17.1 (vRops)

Attempted to deploy Aria Ops for Networks 6.12.1 but it failed with LCMVSPHERECONFIG1000016 error.

After some scavenging around, I ran into the known issues in the Release Notes from version 8.14

So let’s check which user is being used between the ASLC and vCenter:

Now login the vCenter and check if the privileges assigned to this account match the 2 from the release notes:

As you can see above the privileges are not configured on this role, let’s configure the 2 privileges:

Now we need to resync the account between vCenter and ASLC.

After this I Hit the retry button on the request in ASLC and the ovf is being deployed in vCenter.
