Vcenter 6.5d appliance update with VSAN 6.6, VSAN General edit & config broke? - Spiceworks
I started a thread above pls read and tell me what you thing
I have just updated my Vcenter appliance to 6.5d along with the ESXI hosts inc VSAN 6.6. It all upgraded OK as far as i can tell but in the Webui of VCSA i cant see the top section of the VSAN general tab and the EDIT & CONFIGURATION buttons dont work. Also the VSAN Heatlh page has stopped working. Also the Config assistant and update items dont work.
on the general buttons i get this error: -
Error occured while loading general configuration for vSAN.
on the VSAN health page i get this: -
type object 'Enum' has no attribute '_version'
Anyone got any ideas? My vsan vcluster was running fine with VCSA 6.5a.
Thanks

johnkenny wrote:Same in all browsers and on the hosts the health page seems to work and says its healthy.Yeah i was thinking about creating a new VSAN cluster and migrating to that to see if it resolves my issue?I would not do anything that drastic (Unless this is a lab and your bored!). Sounds like a service that likely needs restarting.
johnkenny wrote:Well same thing on a new cluster, so it has to be with the Vcenter appliance itself, looks like ill have to deploy a new appliance then backup the old appliance to restore on the new appliance. But not sure if doing so will restore the issues aswell?? May just start from a clean appliance, VSAN migrates quite nicely as ive done so before.If you intend on adding the hosts to the recovered appliance before the restore PLEASE read this quick note on multicast removal and how swapping out vCenter requires you first run a command on all your hosts.esxcfg-advcfg -s /VSAN/IgnoreClusterMemberListUpdates 1
johnkenny wrote:do the VCSA updates have the previous updates and patches in them?? ie you dont need to install all the upgrade rollups in order?? See I went from 6.5a to 6.5d. I sure thats not the case, surely the rollups have all the patches included.Yup. Note you can update the VCSA from itself.

johnkenny wrote:Ive been unable to find any similar cases online to help troubleshoot so im lost at the moment.Any ideas anyone?6.6 has been out for all of 3 days, so not a huge amount of posts to dig through. I haven't seen this in my lab (or any of the RC builds I've been working with) and I'm not seeing it as a known issue so I'm going to recommend you call GSS 1 (877) 486-9273. PM me the SR#.

I was on VCSA 6.5a and went to VCSA 6.5d

I am resisting redeploying is the last thing i want to do. 🙂
Hi JohnKenny,
I've the same problem since patching vCenter (VCSA) from version 6.5b to 6.5d. See post Missing VSAN Config in VCenter Web Client
Did you solve the problem in the meanwhile? I'm also thinking about to backup vCenter DB und redeploy/restore the VCSA.

Hi all,
I solved the problem!
In the (external) PSC and vCenter admin page (https://fqdn:5480) the timezone was not correct in my case. After fixing the timezone I've rebooted the PSC and vCenter, then the vSAN config is displayed in the Web Client again.
What I've also done before was adding the vSAN license one again. Not sure if this task is really necessary.
Regards,
Chris
HTML Client can be used to edit settings as a quick workaround until you restore / re-deploy VCSA...
