    Error in vsphere after fail over

      Hi people,

       

      I have a serius problem with the vCenter appliance after a fail over is done.  (esxi 6.7, vsphere 6.7)

       

      When the host server shutdowns all the VMs moves correctly to the backup host but the vcenter appliance never works again.

       

      If I try to access the application with a internet browser I get this message:

       

      503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [N7Vmacore4Http20NamedPipeServiceSpecE:0x00005557ef930870] _serverNamespace = / action = Allow _pipeName =/var/run/vmware/vpxd-webserver-pipe)

       

      I connect to vcenter with ssh and list all the services status:

       

      root@photon-machine [ ~ ]# service-control --status

      Stopped:

      pschealth vmcam vmware-cm vmware-content-library vmware-imagebuilder vmware-mbcs vmware-netdumper vmware-perfcharts vmware-rbd-watchdog vmware-sps vmware-updatemgr vmware-vcha vmware-vpxd vmware-vpxd-svcs vmware-vsan-health vmware-vsm vsan-dps

      Running:

      applmgmt lwsmd vmafdd vmcad vmdird vmdnsd vmonapi vmware-analytics vmware-cis-license vmware-eam vmware-pod vmware-postgres-archiver vmware-rhttpproxy vmware-sca vmware-statsmonitor vmware-sts-idmd vmware-stsd vmware-vapi-endpoint vmware-vmon vmware-vpostgres vsphere-client vsphere-ui

       

      I think the problems comes from here, the vmware-cm didn't start. (and maybe all of the others services need to start too).

       

      I tried to start it manually, but never starts again, in the log there is not error or something similar:

      If I make another failover the problem persists, and the only way I can restore the vcenter functionallity is restoring a previus snapshot made before the first failover.

       

      What's happening?

       

       

      Regards, and sorry for poor english.

          The issue also is that you have the vpxd service not running. Try to restart all the services from vCenter with these commands:

           

          service-control --stop --all

          service-control --start --all

           

          Then do this and show us the output:

           

          service-control --status

           

          The normal behavior is that all the required services should be in running state.

                Hi Ocarrasco,

                 

                Make sure that after the failover the host (and the environment) hasn't unconfigured DNS and NTP.

                 

                Also, try following this previous post about this issue:

                    Hi mulcas,

                     

                    As far I know, my network does not have a DNS provider.

                     

                    When I Installed all hosts and vcenter I used the same ip of the machine as DNS.

                     

                    NTP is well configurated in all machines.

                     

                     

                    Regards,

                      I can tell from your logs that this vCenter wasn't setup correct. If you don't have DNS in place with forward and reverse records then you cannot correctly or successfully deploy vCenter Server. Your first task is to build proper DNS infrastructure.

                        Thank you daphnissov for your reply.

                         

                        But this is not the first VMWare system/solution we set up without DNS (more than 20) and this is the first time we have this issue.

                         

                        I will try to build a DNS but I think that is not the problem.

                         

                        Anyway Thank you again.

                         

                         

                        Regards,

                          I can tell you that it is the problem. You must have DNS. vCenter isn't designed to work without it as you have now discovered. I say again, you *must* have valid, working DNS infrastructure if you wish to use vSphere. If you can't/won't provide this basic infrastructure, do not plan on using vSphere

                            Hi Ocarrasco,

                             

                            daphnissov is right, DNS is a must. However, first (just in case) make sure all your devices in the infrastructure are synced with the right time.

                             

                            Cheers,
