Hi all,
I'm installing NSX 6.3 in a nested ESXi 6.5/VCSA 6.5 environment. When I previously did this I had an issue preparing my compute cluster, documented here : https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=20537...
Also covered in another blog post here : http://www.sneaku.com/2015/08/27/nsx-v-unable-to-install-vibs-blame-vum/
However, I performed the same tasks as I did on a previous version of my lab (going to https://vc/eam/mob/, selecting my agent, selecting update and supplying:
<config>
<bypassVumEnabled>true</bypassVumEnabled>
</config>
I get "Method Invocation Result: void" after invoking this method, which implies that it's processed that update, however when I check the config again it states:
bypassVumEnabled boolean false
Has anyone come across this issue before?
Thanks
Dear,
My advice is not to use nested ESXi 6.5/VCSA 6.5 environment. I have also tried many times to configure NSX on nested environment but always face a new error. Please configure the NSX on bare metal. I have one server with 64 GB RAM. I have installed esxi 6.5 on it and add this single host on the cluster and successfully configured NSX. Through this lab i have configured all the components like edge, DLR, Firewall, DHCP, DNAT,SANT, Static and Dynamic Routing, Load Balancing.
I ran into the same issue. Have you solved the problem?
Do you see any error in the eam.log that points to the VUM issue?
When I had a host preparation issue related to VUM, what I saw on the eam log was:
“com.vmware.vim.vmomi.client.exception.ConnectionException: org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to https://<vCenter_Server_Hostname>:8084 refused”
and 8084 is the port number for VUM
See if restarting EAM as per below blog post fix the issue:
NSX Host preparation failure. Restart EAM – vLenzker
Service restart has not solved the Bypass issue.
But I have fixed my root cause (the reason why I wanted to enable Bypass ) .
Could you share what was the fix to your issue?
I have solved the Failed Agent Installation process, not the problem with the eam Bypass.
In my case outgoing https traffic on ESXi host was blocked.
Markus can you be more specific? By what exactly your https traffic was blocked? For me i have enabled httpClient via Security Profile but didnt help.
Traffic was blocked by ESXi internal Firewall.
