I am a novice to managing VMWare, so any help, advice, or information would be helpful.
Recently, I started seeing these warnings every so often:vSphere Health detected new issues in your environment. I looked in the Event Logs and here is what I see. Just not sure what to check next. Thank you.
This may help: vSphere Health detected new issues in your environment
So I should just Acknowlded and then Reset to Green and wait and see if the message continues to come back?
Hi there. Faced that issue once.
Please validate Time Configuration on vCenter Server and PSC (in case you are using external PSC, otherwise only on vCenter)
You can do that going to https://%yourvcenter%:5480 and check NTP settings, date and time
Also, check NTP setting, date and time on your ESXi hosts. You can do that from every host UI https://%esxi%/ui or with vCenter.
Everything looks correct.
follow this KB VMware Knowledge Base it may help you.
Going back a little bit, did you check vCenter and PSC VMs?
no it doesnt looks correct - your ntp client is stopped and you have no ntp servers configured
When I go to https://%yourvcenter%:5480 is that a different login than my usual VMware vSphere? I tried my usual login and it doesnt work.
yes - you should login with user root and the password you defined during setup
Yes, as Bewe said. root user.
One more thing, you have ONE vCenter wirh embedeed PSC? or vCenter VM and PSC VM?
If you dont have an NTP server in your environment, you can use a public one to have all the components in sync. (Strongly recommended)
NTP Pool Project is a public NTP that you can use through internet (Allow in your firewall NTP port 123-udp and thats it)
pool.ntp.org: the internet cluster of ntp servers
Configuring NTP in ESXi - vCenter and all the components from my point of view is a must!
To be totally honest I am not 100% sure. I believe VCenter with embedded PSC. Is there somewhere I can look to verify?
when you are logged in into the VAMI (https://<vcenter>:5480) you see the type in the summary page
You can see on main screen once you login
