Hi communities,
Getting the following error on a couple of my esx 4.1 hosts in a couple - others are ok
When i configure HA - the following error appears after a few moments:
"cmd addnode failed for primary node:error creating ramdisk for HA agent configuration,:unknown HA error"
Any help appreciated
Np's Aneetu, glad the re-join worked - the other pieces can be messier to fix
Hi,
Few ways to fix this
SSH to server and run: (technical support mode)
service mgmt-vmware stop
service vmware-aam stop
service vmware-vpxa stop
Rejoin the host back to vCenter - it should reinstall the agents.
Stopping servics see:
Worse case scenario:
Right-click on the ESXi host and click Disconnect. This disconnects the ESXi host from the VirtualCenter Inventory.
Log in to ESXi Troubleshooting Mode. For more information, see Tech Support Mode for Emergency Support (1003677).
Uninstall the vpxa and aam components from the VMware ESXi host using the following commands:
/opt/vmware/uninstallers/VMware-vpxa-uninstall.sh
/opt/vmware/uninstallers/VMware-aam-ha-uninstall.sh
Right-click on the ESXi host and click Connect. This initiates a re-install of the vpxa agent.
Add the host to the appropriate cluster. This initiates a re-install of the aam agent.
Rejoin to cluster.
Thanks you JC i will check this on my hosts
Thank you JC removing from vcenter and re-joining helped resolve the problem
