Hi,

I'm using NSX-V 6.1 and vSphere 5.5

In my lab I have a problem where a LDR Edge is not communicating with the host (and not populating the LDR routing table on the host - confirmed with net-vdr -I -l).

tail'ing the netcpa.log while the LDR starts produces the following output (repeating every couple seconds )

2014-09-29T09:50:53.784Z [FFE26B70 error 'Default'] VSE authToken 28d04be3-39c2-4907-a38c-321a040418ed unknown

2014-09-29T09:50:53.784Z [FFE26B70 error 'Default'] vmci authentication failed, closing fd 11

I've rebuilt the lab twice but the same issue occurs.

Anyone experienced anything similar?

thanks

Hi same issue here,

disconnect and reconnect the host fixes it for me.

Hi... Thanks for the hint.  When you say disconnect/reconnect....where abouts are you doing this?

Thanks

HI,

- Logon to vCenter , nagivate to the host , right click and select Disconnect. After that right click agian and select Connect.

After that do an SSH to the host and run /etc/init.d/netcpad restart

This should populate your VDR info again.

Thanks a lot.... Will try it out later

Tried this out this morning. The /etc/init.d/netcpa restart did work although it took a few service restarts (3 or 4) before the error went away.

Thanks a lot for the tip!

For a simpler approach (particularly across multiple hosts in a cluster for larger environments) the recommended option is to navigate to Installation -> Host Preparation then under Installation Status click on the version number and select 'Force-Sync Routing services'

Screenshot below:

Also there is no need to disconnect/reconnect the ESXi hosts.

HI,

for this particular issue this is no the case. 'Force-Sync Routing services' is not going to help, I think it is the same issue/case as i described here:

NSX VXLAN Enable Agent fails on ESXi hosts with error “Cannot complete the operation.”

Mostly you don't have to disconnected/reconnect. Just make sure the NSX manager is up and running and run the commands form the article.

No - they do the same thing :smileyhappy:
