Doc Text Cause: Using HTTP timeout with WaitForUpdates was causing calls to hang eventually.

Consequence: Events from vSphere stop working shortly after an appliance reboot (20-30 minute) (

Fix: In vSphere 4.1 VMware added a new method WaitForUpdatesEx to address the issue of WaitForUpdates blocking for a long time. Using the maxWait option to WaitForUpdatesEx we can control how long to block in WaitForUpdatesEx without resorting to timing out the connection.

Result:

Consequence: Events from vSphere stop working shortly after an appliance reboot (20-30 minute) (

Fix: In vSphere 4.1 VMware added a new method WaitForUpdatesEx to address the issue of WaitForUpdates blocking for a long time. Using the maxWait option to WaitForUpdatesEx we can control how long to block in WaitForUpdatesEx without resorting to timing out the connection.

Result:
Previously, VMware power events and provisioning performed directly in vCenter stopped being received by the CloudForms appliance shortly after an appliance reboot (20-30 minutes). This occurred because using HTTP timeout with the WaitForUpdates call on a vSphere provider caused calls to hang eventually. VMware added the new WaitForUpdatesEx method to vSphere 4.1 to address this issue, which has been updated in this version of CloudForms. The maxWait option in WaitForUpdatesEx controls how long to block in WaitForUpdatesEx without timing out the connection.
