syslog errors after upgrade to 5i

Hello,

I have 4x ibm x3650m2 running esx 4.1u2 (not esxi) + netapp filer as remote storage. vCenter already upgraded tp 5.0u1. I upgraded first of my hosts to esxi 5.0u1, trying to learn from this before upgrading the other hosts too. But there are some errors in syslog which I do not observe in the old esx 4.1 environment.

1. some failures on the local server drive (mirror of two scsi disks), cca every 5 minutes:

<181>2012-05-15T20:13:29.932Z esx1-mng.natur.cuni.cz vmkernel: cpu1:2049)ScsiDeviceIO: 2322: Cmd(0x4124006f1000) 0x12, CmdSN 0x4af9 from world 0 to dev "naa.600508e000000000b20c65deec451409" failed H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0x5 0x24 0x0.
2. http service error, regularily every 5 minutes:
<166>2012-05-15T20:14:21.147Z esx1-mng.natur.cuni.cz Hostd: [FFD6AAC0 info 'Vmomi'] Activation [N5Vmomi10ActivationE:0x34bcf138] : Invoke done [waitForUpdates] on [vmodl.query.PropertyCollector:ha-property-collector]

3. no idea what it could be:

From the subjective point of view, the server is working, virtual machines run on it with no visible problem, vmotion is working, no errors or warnings in vcenter GUI client regarding this host.

Is it safe to continue with the upgrades or is it something serious ?

Thanks,

David

It seems I am the only one experiencing this kind of errors. After upgrading all four hosts these errors are present on all of them.

Have you checked that the ESXi firewall isn't blocking some of the ports you're using? Also are you using host profiles?

Hi

I was looking up your error:

[3520EB90 error 'SoapAdapter.HTTPService'] HTTP Transaction failed on stream TCP(local=127.0.0.1:0, peer=127.0.0.1:57993) with error N7Vmacore15SystemExceptionE(Connection reset by peer)

Thanks,

I have nothing special running on the hosts, the firewall is on, but it is in thsame state as when it was on ESX 4.1, withe one exception: I allowed outgoing syslog traffic to remote syslog server, but it has no influnce on my problem as I already tested.

I already read the KB article you mention, but it seems to me the error message is slightly different. But if it still can be safely ignored, I will be happy, but I am not sure.

Thanks !

No, I started to ignore it until 5.0U2 or something similar. I see the same on another cluster which consists of newly installed ESXi hosts (no upgrades, clean new hardware). So I let this thread unanswered in case somebody comes up with a solution or some patch will resolve this silently 🙂

Hi,

We are seeing the same messages (fully patched esxi 5.0 (build 768111).

Did you ever get this solved ?

Regards,

Hen

Hello,

no, it is still the same (I am now on build 821926 since the last week updates). I was not able to find anything what really does not work with respect to this. The only warning I have in vpx client is about the LDAP component, which is expected because my server is not part of a windows domain. But I don't thing LDAP should generate SOAP requests, so seems unlikely for me to be corellated with.

I have the same errors on all of my host logs, ESXi5.0 821926.  Any resolution?

Not sure if you have resolved your issue, but I opened a case with support today and below is the response:

>> This is a known cosmetic issue and can be safely  ignored as there is no underlying issue with the license being used, it could be resolved in the next release update. <<

Thanks!

Thank you. So I am closing this as a log files garbage diluting the real messages 🙂
