Rename Portgroup give error, "Unexpected error checking compliance: 'None Type' object has no attribute 'checkBeacon' "

[naiksidd]

Hello,

I am using a script in my environment which renames PortGroup

what I do is "$PortGroup | Set-VirtualPortGroup -Name $pgNameNew -VLanId $vlanID | out-null"

the command goes fine, when I check the profile it shows not compliant (as expected).

then I used same command and renamed the PortGroup back to orignal name and check compliance,

this time it gives error "Unexpected error checking compliance: 'None Type' object has no attribute 'checkBeacon' "

the same process done via GUI works fine.

Any Idea , what am I missing here?

All the hosts are on 5.1

regards,

Siddharth Naik

Did you do the compliance check from the Gui or with PowerCLI ?

Hi Luc,

I did the compliance check from GUI.

Both the times.

Guys any pointers where I should look?

Same issue here. Any resolution?

Try rebooting the host and running compliance check again. It worked for me - my host is not compliant with the host profile.

I had the same issue after configuring CDP on some hosts. Turned out that I had not enabled CDP on all hosts in the cluster. After enabling CDP on all my hosts' vswitches the profile compliance was fine.

OFcourse you can also choose to disable CDP on all hosts

Example how to enable cdp on your hosts' vSwitch via powercli:

$esx = get-vmhost "myesx"

$myesxcli = get-esxcli -vmhost $esx

$myesxcli.network.vswitch.standard.set("both","1500","vSwitch0")

I had the same issue, in the vSphere Client, all I had to do was hit 'refresh' in the Networking tab - ran check compliance and Host was now compliant.

Refresh worked for me as well JudyR, thanks!
