Context: Uploading a 230G OVF to vCD
We got a fail on this and the logs are not clear on cause and effect. Says a timeout but another part says it could not find the session.
Aborted at the 3hr 20m mark.
Coming from a Lab Manager context, we ran into the 7200 second upload time before an adjusted it.
Under vCD the help has
"Transfer session timeout
Miscellaneous
Amount of time to wait before failing a paused or canceled upload task, for example upload media or upload vApp template. This timeout does not affect upload tasks that are in progress.
"
Now the value is 60 minutes.
>> What is not clear is if this is a generic timeout OR a timeout ONLY related to a pause or cancel ?
(the later meaning the upload time is unlimited? however there is a 24hr "maximum timeout")
The last disk copied (PUT/transfer), being the last disk has a timestamp 64 minutes before the abort.
The logs have "Unable to retrieve OVF descriptor" - not sure if this cause or affect.
Also "Resource 005001-5001-W7-CE-BLD730-A-disk1.vmdk not fully transferred yet"
The logging is at two extremes, too little at the GUI level, and too much at the log level.
Thanks
