This video by Matthias Eisner will cover how you create a custom vCO workflow to change the core/socket relation while deploying a machine from a vCAC request. This video by Matthias Eisner shows step by step how to create the vCO workflow, collect the java script from vSphere via the OnyX fling and how to link this all back to vCAC.
The ViewDbChk tool allows administrators to scan for, and fix provisioning errors that can not be addressed using View Administrator. Provisioning errors occur when there are inconsistencies between the LDAP, vCenter and View Composer databases. These can be caused by: direct editing of the vCenter inventory, restoring a backup, or a long term network problem.
This tool allows VMware View administrators to scan for machines which can not be provisioned and remove all database entries for them. The View Connection Server will then be able to re-provision the machine without any errors.
