VPLEX VASA Provider appliance fails to start webservice
I downloaded the latest VPLEX VASA Appliance OVA with the intention of adding our Metro clusters (5.3) to vCenter
This is version VPlex-5.5.1.00.00.05-vasa.ova released on 4 jan 2016
I followed the procedure outlined in Solve Desktop tool. (which is written for the 5.0 version in mind, btw)
I installed it and registered both VPLEX clusters to it.
But when I try to add the provider to vCenter, I get the following error:
"A problem was encountered while registering the provider"
vCenter Logs show that it starts the registration ok, but then when it tries to retrieve any data from it, it gets a 404 response back.

I checked the URL and indeed, the page gives back no data at all:
On the Vasa Provider appliance, if I check the log
/opt/emc/vplex/vasa/apache-tomcat-8.0.12/logs/localhost.2016-01-13.log , I can see that Catalina is thowing 2 exceptions constantly.

The logfile for the Apache-Axis2 app (vasa) shows the following every time Tomcat is started:

Hi Robert,
Do you have a SR open? (That's the best I believe to ultimately getting to the bottom of this.)
Thanks,
Gary

Please keep this post updated if you do open a SR. I have the same problem. I believe it is related to this: Unable to deploy VPLEX VASA to vCenter 5.5, error "InvalidCertificate"
I am overdue for a CCA and upgrade.

I Just Deployed the OVF VPLEX VASA and when I browse to the https://x.x.x.x:8443/vasa/services IP Address I get this issue.
And Of ocurse I eneded here trying to see if there is a manual on how to deploy and integrate VPLEX VASA with vMware.
Also I do not have access to the latest download posted at the top of this post.
