I am trying to create F5 virtual instances from Big-Iq.
I already created cloud provider and environment in big-iq. Also installed VMware vsphere root cert in big-iq.
But when I am trying to create ve instances from Big-Iq, it is giving me the error.
First, it was error 3: temporary failure in name resolution, I updated the IP address of VMware instead of fqdn, in big-iq cloud environment config and it got fixed.
Now I am getting another error ssl.c:661 unable to connect to center on ip:tcp port.
Check the port-lockdown settings on the big-iq self-ip and ping and telnet to the vmware vcenter and if needed do tcpdump on the F5 and maybe on the vcenter. The standard stuff, you need to do basic network investigation as the error seems self explanatory 🙂
I did the network inspection on very first day, everything is fine from layer 2-4. I can ping and telnet the VMware IP from Big-Iq.
From pcap, initially I found CA issue which was fixed, now even though in capture I could see that authentication is fine as after server hello encrypted messages are exchanged.
Still, in big-iq vm creation task it's showing can't resolve (VMware IP which is addiin cloud environment), I added the IP in etc/host file, still the same issue.
