Blank details in Web Console (5.8)

[Australadian]

I am not getting any stats from the web console's new reporting tool on 5.8.

vpxd log looks clean and I get other reports ok. The VM's by host is also a bit dodgy as it doesn't show all the hosts with VM's replicating.

Anyone seen this?

Hi,

Regarding the replication stats:

The stats for VR are not loaded from the vpxd, but rather internal implementation.

Is this the same behavior when you chose custom time interval?

Also, could you share what is the average RPO you are using for your replications?

Regarding the hosts:

When the portlet is in original size it shows just the top two hosts. However if you maximize the portlet you will see all the hosts and the statistics about how many VMs are replicated per host.

Even full screen I don't get any other hosts. Nor when I change the date to week / month

This is a screen at my screen's 2550x1440:

All these are 24H RPO

Sorry, for bringing the confusion. When I said maximize I meant to maximize just the portlet where the hosts are shown. You can see a maximize icon next to the tile Replicated VMs (by host) on the right side.

Oh, and right you are!

But i still have zero information from the stats graphs.

Anyone else seeing this behaviour on vCenter 5.5U2 with VR 5.8?

Glad I've been in help.

Regarding other blank charts

- Can you try configure a new "fake" replication and see if this picture is changing

- you should open an SR and provide VR logs so Vmware employes can troubleshoot the problem.

Hi again,

The VMware engineering nail down the issue and it turns out that it is observed only when VR 5.8 and SRM 5.8 are running in the same vSphere Web Client. Release notes of VR 5.8 have been updated: VMware vSphere Replication 5.8 Release Notes.Unfortunately there is no workaround.

We are working to resolve the issue.

Thanks for updating the post. Glad it's not me.

I'll keep an eye out for a KB fix or upgrade and post again.
