Hello,

ist there a possibility to export and import multiple T1 compute gateways? I found a Reference for that in the Readme "mcgw" but i did not found any option to configure that.

Thanks
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,
You'll find that listed in the config.ini file under the mcgw_export (starting at line 75) and mcgw_import (starting at line 184) flags. Please ensure you have downloaded the latest version of the tool.

Hello,

Some colleagues and I are trying to export vCenter folders from a source VMC on AWS (AZ1) to a VMConAWS SDDC (AZ3 same region).

All VMware files relies on a AWS Lambda function that permit us to synchronize successfully the source VMware SDDC to the targeted VMware SDDC. Except for the Vcenter folders.

The error provided is " unable to import module 'invoke lambda' : cannot import name 'exceptions' from cryptography.hamzat.bindings.._rust' (unknown location)

-----

All requirements provided by this document have been checked.
https://flings.vmware.com/files/uploads/0/0/0/0/7/1/8/sddc-import-export-for-vmware-cloud-on-aws-1.7.0.pdf

1 / The vcenter.ini file has been updated with appropriate information.
2 / The line 54 of sddc_import_export.py has been commented out
3 / The expected package from the requirements.txt file has been commented out too but refers to an dead URL.
The instruction git+https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python.git@v7.0.2.0
Result > Not Found

My colleague and I tried this : https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python/archive/refs/tags/v7.0.3.2.tar.gz

Then we added this package in a dedicated layer for the AWS Lambda function.

Can you tell us which correct instruction should be used wihtin the requirements.txt file ?

Kind regards
Louis

Hey Glenn! I see in the above error the nsx manager isn't called out correctly ("host='nsx-ip-ip-ip-ip.rp.vmwarevmc.com")... an incorrect FQDN will absolutely cause issues with certificates. Have you filled in the refresh token, ORG ID and SDDC ID for both the source and destination environments in your VMC.ini file?

Hi Tom. Thanks for the very quick reply. It does show the proper ip and sddc and org id in the error message but I didn’t want to post those publicly. I did modify in the ini and a json which is populated is created. But with this error I don’t know if it fully populated or only what it could get, etc.. thanks
