vCenter HA

[AhmadMDS]

Hello,

I am trying to set up vCenter HA Basic Mode. But we received the below error and cannot proceed.

"Cannot find a network adapter for the vCenter Server management network (NIC0) on the vCenter Server Appliance guest OS. Once available, the first guest OS network adapter will be selected. Use Edit VM settings to add a network adapter"

any idea to resolve this issue ?

Thank you in advance

Do you have a dedicated heartbeat network that is separate from the production network? Did you assign an IP in that dedicated space? Can you show the configuration you used?

[AhmadMDS]

first I have created a port group named "vCenter-Native-HA" on each server in the cluster, then i headed to the vcenter configuration and chose the basic mode and clicked next, here the error appears.

Is your vCenter Server a VM managed by the same vCenter? If you use Basic, it has to be managed by itself.

[AhmadMDS]

yes, it is managed by itself

Show the vCenter VM in the inventory. Then login to the VAMI of vCSA, go to Networking -> Manage and take a screenshot of your configuration.

i don't have access to the vcenter right now as it is at a customer's site.

VAMI is the VCSA managemtn console that can be accesses through the port 5480 right ?

What should i look for ?

[daphnissov]

Yes, port 5480. I'm checking to see if you have the hostname properly configured and the networking information is complete. If nic0 is not defined with networking information, the wizard cannot function.

i may reply with a screenshot when i go to the customer's site so you can help me out, maybe tomorrow

thanks again
