Problem with ScaleIO 1.32 vSphere Plugin installation (self signed certificate)
Hi all,
I'm wondering, is there a way around this problem, buying a real signed certificate is not an option for now, so I'd like to know, if it's possible to work around this problem: (vcenter server FQDN changed)
WARNING: There were one or more problems with the server certificate for the server
myvcenter.mydomain.com:443:
* The X509 chain could not be built up to the root certificate.
Certificate: [Subject]
C=US, CN=myvcenter.mydomain.com
[Issuer]
O=myvcenter.mydomain.com, C=US, DC=local, DC=vsphere, CN=CA
[Serial Number]
00D7D130504AC259B2
[Not Before]
26.6.2015 12.17.50
[Not After]
20.6.2025 12.17.50
[Thumbprint]
7AA67E16888C13D31AB9DFA4B35658D813CB3842
The server certificate is not valid.
WARNING: THE DEFAULT BEHAVIOR UPON INVALID SERVER CERTIFICATE WILL CHANGE IN A FUTURE RELEASE. To ensure scripts are
not affected by the change, use Set-PowerCLIConfiguration to set a value for the InvalidCertificateAction option.

I tried suppressing the Invalid Certificate warning with Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -InvalidCertificateAction Prompt
Also I had invalid username for the vcenter server.
After using proper username, the installation was successful.

Try running Get-ExecutionPolicy -> what is your policy?
Try changing the policy to: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned (or even NonSigned, if needed).
If you run only Set-ExecutionPolicy you will see the options.

Actually my problem had nothing to do with the certificate. Just got confused with the error. The real problem was invalid password.
Excecution policy was set to AllSigned as described in User Guide page 74. (Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned)

Did entering a valid and correct password solved the issue?

I was able to ScaleIO plugin to ESXi 5.5 U2 vcenter but I did not see ScaleIO icon on Web Client.
It worked fine with 1.31.1.
Any idea?

Yes it did.
I was misleaded by the certificate warning and did not realize at first that the real problem was wrong password for the vCenter.

I'm testing with vCenter 6 but if I remember correctly, I had to restart vCenter server after scaleio installation, the icon did not show up before that.

I need to setup JAVA_HOME on system and reboot the vCenter. The vCenter was installed on Windows 2012 R2.
This link is very helpful.

Assuming you are running the PowerCLI session on your Windows VC, the PowerCLI (ps1) script loads in embedded tomcat and uses the VC embedded java -> no need to configure JAVA_HOME on the VC.
Please try the following steps:
1. Un-register the plugin (using the PowerCLI ps1 script)
2. Log-out -> log-in in vSphre web client
3. Clear your web browser cookies / history etc.
4. Restart the vSphere web client service (Virgo server) on your VC
5. Register the plugin (using the PowerCLI ps1 script) -> remember NOT to press Enter until you perform the log-in into your vSphere web client (that completes the registration)
6. Once you see the SIO icon in the vSphere web client, you can press Enter in the PowerCLI session (that will stop the embedded tomcat)
