TCA

Redeploying harbor through TCA results in a “Namespace already exists” error. 

Secure Shell (SSH) to the master node IP and run {{kubectl delete namespace harbor. T}}. Restart the job.

If the Management and Workload clusters are upgraded to 7.0.2, deploying the Compute cluster installed with ESXi_7.0.2 fails.

Deploy the Management, Workload, and Compute cluster using ESXi 7.0.1, and then upgrade the cluster to ESXi_7.0.2.

TCA

TCA has limitations in creating single disk groups per host. If any host in the cluster has extra SSD disks and HDD disks that are not used on a disk group, they will not be used during deployment. Attempting to re-synchronize the deployment of such a domain or site will fail.

1. In the vSAN cluster, click the Configure tab.
2. Under vSAN, click Disk Management.
3. Click Claim Unused Disks.
4. Select devices to add to the disk group:

For hybrid disk groups, each host contributing storage must contribute one flash cache device and one or more HDD capacity devices. Only one cache device can be added per disk group.

1. Select a flash device to be used as cache and click Claim for cache tier.

2. Select an HDD device to be used as capacity and click Claim for capacity tier.
3. Click Create or OK.

For all-flash disk groups, each host contributing storage must contribute one flash cache device and one or more flash capacity devices. Only one cache device can be added per disk group.

1. Select a flash device to be used as cache and click Claim for cache tier.

2. Select a flash device to be used for capacity and click Claim for capacity tier.
3. Click Create or OK.

Workload deployment fails at 90 percent: Migrate management VM’s in workload domain to management domain.

Resync the Workload domain. After the resync, the Workload domain deployment completes successfully.

TCA

CA 1.9.5 fails to deploy NDC with Toshiba HDD. The drive type is Toshiba HDD. Cloud Builder assumes it is an SSD drive and fails vSAN readiness.              

Replace the drive with a Seagate HDD.

DTVMWARE-199

TCA

TCA 1.9.5 takes more than 24 hours to error out while deploying a Compute Cluster site when there is a configuration issue of any kind.

1. Reboot TCA to get out of the loop.

2. Resolve the issue.
3. Redeploy the Compute Cluster.

DTVMWARE-200

TCA

TCA 1.9.5 does not  get an alarm if vSwitches are missing a virtual-machine network interface card (vmnic).

Add the vmnic to the TCA UI / switches section and resync.

To be fixed in TCA 2.0.

DTVMWARE-203

TCA

TCA 1.9.5 is unable to get the harbor connected.

Perform a force sync and restart services (see VMware internal tracking PR 2834956).

DTVMWARE-206

TCA 

After deploying a Management Domain Central Site (NDC) or a Workload Domain site (WLD), TCA 1.9.5 may fail to remove the datastore created for Cloud Builder.

Remove the datastore manually.

Upgrade

During ESXiU1 to ESXiU2, when manage is used with a single image, the following pre-check error is displayed when you attempti to convert to an image: “Transport Node Profile is not configured on the cluster but NSX-T Data Center is installed on the following host(s): ESXi10, ESXi11, ESXi12, ESXi13.”

Enabling vLCM is not allowed if cluster members are Transport Nodes (with NSX VIBs installed) and there is no Transport Node Profile (TNP) attached. Select the Cluster checkbox and click the Configure NSX menu. In the next popup, select TNP.

DTVMWARE-204

Upgrade

ESXi7U1 to ESXi7U2 with Life Cycle Manager (LCM) remediation is triggered at the cluster level, putting the host in maintenance mode indefinitely.              

Manually take the hosts out of maintenance mode (see VMware internal tracking PR2825198).

DTVMWARE-185

vRLI

vRLI doe not have NSXT version 3.0.2 content pack.

Find the correct content pack for vRLI from the VMware site and import it to vRLI. If there are still logs missing, reboot vRLI VM.

DTVMWARE-177

vSAN 

vSAN Cluster issues lead to a “Performance service is disabled” warning on the Compute cluster.

1. Log in to vCenter using the webclient https:/fqdn.

2. Select Cluster > Configure > vSAN Services > performance service.
3. Click Edit.
4. Toggle on Enable vSAN performance service.
5. Click Apply.
