Update error 30 is related to bootbank not found

If you can go to vmkernel.log and check for bootbank keywords, it might help if you encounter same issue. You can also check if the bootbank is accessible by cd /bootbank

I have seen this with SD cards losing connectivity

If you are using local harddrive, try to update the BIOS/driver/firmware for your localdrive

thanks,

MS

That is only for boot from SAN and if you are using the USB, I am unsure if that takes effect but can try that.

Thanks,

we suspected the MTU values in the UCS (its set to 9000) others are 1500 (working hosts). after reset the value from 9000 to 1500 there no use. Also by changing the boot value also seems will not fix the issues.

Yes we are in boot from SAN., please provide suggestions for fix this issues.

Can you check if the datastore is listed in /vmfs/volumes or can you verify if they have the mapping correctly..

Thanks,

Hi Sri,

with the first step in the kb the issue was partially resolved, we are observing state as the boot bank backups every hour, where the command flush the boot bank to correct LUN.

Possbility of the storage latency or the pathing issues to the LUN leading to the missing bootbank. Can you check the pathing of the Lun from the esxi host?

Thanks,
