VMware KB: User Name and Password fields does not appear on the vRealize Automation login page.
This problem is between the vRealize Automation 6.2 Client integration plug-in and recent versions of Firefox.
As a workaround, you may be able to move the horizontal scroll bar, causing the screen to be redrawn, thus revealing the username and password input boxes.
Internet Explorer 11 appears to be pretty well behaved and the latest versions of Chrome also work well, though the Flash components may be old.

VMware KB: Registering NSX Manager to vCenter Server or configuring the SSO Lookup Service fails with the error: nested exception is java.net.UnknownHostException.

VMware KB: Creating an NSX logical switch fails with the error: Unable to allocate an available resource
A couple of students mentioned this error during a lab in the VMware NSX: Install, Configure and Manage class this week.
The issue is simple to create and remedy. Logical switches are assigned VNI (VXLAN Number Identifier) from a Segment ID Pool. If the Segment ID Pool is not configured before you try to provision a logical switch then you will get the “Unable to allocate an available resource” error. The resolution is to configure the Segment ID Pool before attempting to create Logical Switches.
