I am having this problem that if I use Check Updates -> Check URL I get the error "Download Failed." in the VMware Appliance Management Interface (VAMI)
Internet Proxy is configured in VAMI.
This problem applies to both of these versions.
VMware vCenter Server Appliance
6.0.0.20000 Build Number 3634791
VMware vCenter Server Appliance
6.0.0.10200 Build Number 3343022
I am checking
/var/log/vmware/applmgmt/software-packages.log
and find
Resolving vapp-updates.vmware.com... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `vapp-updates.vmware.com'
Yes DNS server does not resolve internet IPs but that is no problem for vRO appliance or older vSphere Update Manager or any internet browser.
Actually nothing reaches the internet proxy (logging on firewall) it appears the VCSA does not even try to contact the internet proxy.
Anybody an idea what's wrong? I think DNS shouldn't have to forward to internet DNS, I mean VRO and older vSphere Update Manager can do without it as well.
