  • 1.  Update cluster using single image failed for some hosts

    Posted Sep 13, 2023 06:18 AM

    hi

      i to update a host cluster with sing image, some hosts succeeded , while others gave the following error:

    A failure occurred when starting a host compliance check operation on host : Error: system_error Messages: vapi.invalid.result.code<Recv of frame failed with code: 503 Service Unavailable>

    and the failed hosts HA state is stuck HA Agent unreachable as below :

    PCMA_IT_0-1694585754918.png

    Turned off and on cluster HA many times, and did reconfigure host for vsphere HA .

    Noting that the vcenter server 8 with the latest update, also the hosts are 8.0:

    Please help and Advice.

    Check VIBs compatiblity. Maybe some ESXi hosts needs manually to delete some vibs to be able to proceed with the update. 

     

    Does the lifecycle manager say that the host has incompatible VIBs?

    What is your Server vendor? Check documentation regarding customized ESXi iso. 

    There should be the info regarding vibs.

    No, there are no VIB errors.

    The error is : system_error Messages: vapi.invalid.result.code<Recv of frame failed with code: 503 Service Unavailable>

    Unfortunately, Nope

    Also after upgrade to the latest vcenter and esxi 8 U2, the problem still exist.

    Hi

      I have solved this issue in a workaround, i have created a host profile for the compliant esxi host with its settings ( No network, No storage) and then remediated the non compliant hosts against the host profile:

    https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.hostprofiles.doc/GUID-3B6CF382-0870-40C1-8D79-6B59363CBA54.html

    after that i am able to remediate the hosts against the single cluster image.

    it worked successfully.

     

    And finally enabled HA on the cluster

    regards.
