Hello TT,

The configuration is present in the converter-worker.xml and is set to auto. Can you just change this and let us know if it works?

As per my understanding, yes you have to. EVC cannot be enabled on a cluster which has VMs in powered on state. Please check step-21 in the below KB -

Re: Difference between "vmkload_mod xxxxx" and "esxcfg-module xxxxx"

SupreetK — Sun, 17 Nov 2019 08:42:19 GMT

vmkload_mod is used majorly for getting the module details and unloading it. Whereas with esxcfg-module, we can get/set/enable/disable/query module/module parameters and lot of other things. Moreover, both of these are now deprecated. <esxcli system module> should be used going forward.

By any chance, do you have the SSD controller in pass-thru mode?

Re: Disks showing Healthy (At Risk) after expansion

SupreetK — Sun, 03 Feb 2019 23:23:51 GMT

Check if the disk is reporting any errors Checking and Repairing Virtual Disks. For the datastore in which the disk in question is residing, do you see any read/write failures in the vmkernel.log or any other events for that matter? If the above does not help, create a new disk and copy the data or perform a v2v via File level cloning from within the guest operating system.

What is the red alarm on both the hosts? Are they actively connected to the vCenter and in sync?

When you grep for the word 'address' in the file </etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.network>, how many rows are seen? Ideally, there should be just one.

Re: Upgrade of ESXi 5.5 host fails altbootbank error

Is the host booting off an SD card? If yes, it might have turned faulty. Try to reseat it once.

Most likely, there is an issue in reading the blocks. When the file system check fails, what errors do we see in the vmkernel.log?
