VCSA 6.5 - Update Manager acting a bit odd

Hello.

I have upgrade to VCSA 6.5 and I'm using it's Update Manager to try and "Scan for Updates" and checkmark in Upgrades. I have attached the baseline a Cluster level.

When doing so for an already upgraded Host I get the error: Cannot deplay upgrade agent on Host.

When doing so for a not yet upgraded Host I get the error: VMware vSphere Update Manager has an unknown error. Check the network connectivity and logs fiies for details.

The list shows 2 Compliant, 3 Non-Compliant and 3 Unknown.

One of our Hosts are Out Cold and awaiting a systemboard change. NSX is installed but only for use for Guest Introspection and McAfee MOVE AV. Both show Installation Status Failed. The one Host is probably the problem there.

If I de-attached the baseline from Cluster level and attach it to a yet to be upgrade Host I get "VMware vSphere Update Manager has an unknown error. Check the network connectivity and logs fiies for details."

Scan entity stops at 17%, I see no errors in Event Console

Repeat this for the upgraded server I get: "Cannot deploy host upgrade agent. Check the network connectivity and logs of host agent and vpxa for details." Scan Entity stops after two seconds.

Any ideas?

Best Regards

Peter

ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOUND IT.

The process uses esxcfg-info to extract data.

0xc3 is a capital A with a tilde above it. Â

That does not compute with ascii.py.

Doing esxcfg-info to a text file and then seaching that revealed a VM containing that Â. Turned out to be a VM named Gæsteportal. So the danish æ became a spanner in the cogs. VM renamed, migrated to other store and Host, migrated back to Host.

Scan for Updates works.

Finally.

Sorry. Both Hosts have been upgraded.

I rescanned all HBA on all Hosts, De-attached the Baseline from the Hosts and Attached the baseline at Cluster level.

Scan entity at 76%. "There aare errors during the scan...."

De-attach and attach at host level.

One server Scan entity at 17% then fails "VMware vSphere Update Manager had an unknown error. Check the events and log files for details."

Other server fail almost immediately "Cannot deploy host upgrade agent. Check the network connectivity and logs of host agent and vpxa for details."

???

Any Ideas?

Looking at Cluster - Remediate the two Hosts list they have version VMware ESXi 6.5.0 but the Upgrades column shows VMware ESXi 6.5.0. Two other Host which the Scan for Updates recocknise as Compliant do not show VMware 6.5.0 in the Upgrade column.

As if Update Manager has not recocknised that the two host ARE upgraded.

So I have two Hosts that are Compliant and 3 that have Status Unknown (One of them I know why)

Remediate on one of the Unknown gives error "VMware vSphere Update Manager had an unknown error. Check the events and log files for details."

The other Unknown gives error "Cannot deploy host upgrade agent. Check the network connectivity and logs of host agent and vpxa for details." at Remediate.

Is this the cause or just what makes the Update Manager report back that the HOST is not compliant with the new ESXi?

I would guess so but something is not classifing the correctly after Remediate.

I see a /tmp/scratch folder on the hosts on which Scan for Updates work but not on those where it does not.

Recreate Scratch folders?

Looks like the Root Ramdisk is full enough not to allow a Scan For Update. Changing the Scratch location......,

Looks like Scan for Update is acting correctly now after setting a scratch location away from the SD card except for one host which seems to think the checksum of the ISO file indicates a corrupt ISO file accordin to VMware Knowledge Base

That makes no sense.

I get from the vua log

No idea what so ever that might be...........

It is the same HP Custom ISO I used on all Hosts............

ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOUND IT.

The process uses esxcfg-info to extract data.

0xc3 is a capital A with a tilde above it. Â

That does not compute with ascii.py.

Doing esxcfg-info to a text file and then seaching that revealed a VM containing that Â. Turned out to be a VM named Gæsteportal. So the danish æ became a spanner in the cogs. VM renamed, migrated to other store and Host, migrated back to Host.

Scan for Updates works.

Finally.

Thank you for posting this. For me it was the naming of a ephemeral network on a dvSwitch - we had used one of the Norwegian characters, of course.

We had a portgroup/VLAN containing the Danish/Norwegian letter Ø, created the same error and issue.
