Failed to execute the script: vCenter returned an error: InvalidArgument

Hi Guys,

 

just started my App Layering Journey - OS Image created fine, but i am unable to build my first Platform layer -  each time i try and create one i keep getting - Failed to execute the script: vCenter returned an error: InvalidArgument.

 

ELM - latest

Hypervisor - vcentre v7

OS - server 2022.

 

any ideas, the only thing which is comming up is a legacy issue with vcentre v5 showing you need to upgrade to v5.5 - https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX223690/app-layering-41-failed-to-create-layer-a-specified-parameter-was-not-correct-url

 

anyone seen this error before ?

Are you using a custom role for permissions or an Admin account?  If custom and you can try with a full admin just to rule out permissions as the issue.

not sure i understand - the AppLayer box is using a custom account/role, but the user account i am using is the default admin on ELM -  i havent setup LDAP yet for full local domain admin login.

The account you use to talk to vcenter requires lots of specific permissions.  That is the admin account they are referring too.

sorry taken a while to get back to this, in a nutshell it was vmware permissions, when the account was setup (before my time) they had not granted the account permission on various sub folders, so once i spotted that it was up and running - thanks all.
