VCenter HA Error

[mifrasmm]

Hi

currently im Deploying vCenter High Availability with network addresses in separate subnets. I have configured passive & witness node and enable routing between.

     While im deploying last stage getting below error, Please let me know if any idea about this .

Thanks for helping

The operation is not allowed in the current stage

The management interface (NIC0) IP address does not map to the vCenter Server PNID.

I have verified my DNS ( REV/FWD ) resolve successfully

Hi mifrasmm​

Just a guess. Does the vCSA's hostname contain upper case letters?

Which vCSA version/build do you use?

[mifrasmm]

initially we have configured with UPPERCASE but i have changed after that to lower case.

Version: 6.7.0.30000

... but i have changed after that to lower case

How did you do this? By modifying the existing vCSA (if so, how?), or by deploying a new one?

Please double-check that your DNS entries (forward, and reverse) also use lower case letters.

Hi Andre,

I just modified in /etc/vmware/systemname_info.json

DNS Entries fine both FWR/REV resolving

Assuming that you rebooted the vCSA after editing the file, and https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2147932​ is still the valid for vCSA 6.7U2, that should be fine.

Maybe there are some log files which contain some hints.

Im getting this error while runing

root@UAENIP595VC01 [ ~ ]# /var/log/vmware/vcha/prepare-vcha

bash: /var/log/vmware/vcha/prepare-vcha: No such file or directory

root@UAENIP595VC01 [ ~ ]#

Are there any log files in that folder (/var/log/vmware/vcha)?

Hey

is anything wrong on global gateway? showing vcenter HA gateway only?

[mifrasmm · Accepted solution]

Above is sorted.

Error im went through.

1. The operation is not allowed in the current state.

   Failed to get management network information. Verify if management interface (NIC0) is configured correctly and is reachable.

Solution: Create DNS entry for passive node

2. Errors "Failed to ssh connect peer node x.x.x.x"

     Solution:  strictly follow the order to start the clone of Active node to create Passive and Witness VMs only after wizard reaches a certain point and asks user to start the clone operation

3. error message MethodFault.summary error during the finalization process

     Solution:  hostname mismatch

          you can verifying cat /etc/hostname all nodes should be same
