Disable vCenter vCLS advanced settings

   1. SSH into your vCenter Server

   2. Open the vpxd config file:

vi /etc/vmware-vpxd/vpxd.cfg

   3. Search for  <vcls> inside the file

   4. You will see something similar to this (if you have any other clusters that you have disabled vCLS on, you will also see them):

  <vcls>

    <clusters>

      <domain-c1003:1f309344-8dbb-4c9f-b0cb-b3b61fa8513f>

        <enabled>False</enabled>

      </domain-c1003:1f309344-8dbb-4c9f-b0cb-b3b61fa8513f>

      <domain-c13>

        <enabled>False</enabled>

      </domain-c13>

    </clusters>

  </vcls>

   5. You will have to modify this file and remove the record you do not want . In your case, you will have to delete this tag (incl. its content):

      <domain-c1003:1f309344-8dbb-4c9f-b0cb-b3b61fa8513f>

        <enabled>False</enabled>

      </domain-c1003:1f309344-8dbb-4c9f-b0cb-b3b61fa8513f>

!!! If you do not have any other clusters, where vCLS is disabled on, you will have the following configuration:

  <vcls>

    <clusters>

      <domain-c1003:1f309344-8dbb-4c9f-b0cb-b3b61fa8513f>

        <enabled>False</enabled>

      </domain-c1003:1f309344-8dbb-4c9f-b0cb-b3b61fa8513f>

    </clusters>

  </vcls>

In this case, please remove the whole <vcls> ... </vcls> entry. !!!

   6. Save the changes to the file.

   7. Restart vpxd:

service-control --restart vmware-vpxd

   8.Upon successful restart you should receive the following message:

Successfully restarted service vpxd

   9. If you go the Advanced Settings tab in the vSphere Client now, the changes should have taken place.
