ESX: HA Error – cmd addnode failed for primary node: Unable to import /var/log/vmware/aam/aam_config_util.def

February 17, 2009

 

Another case on my customer. After upgrading from 3.0 to 3.5 Update 2, I am getting the following HA Error “cmd addnode failed for primary node: Unable to import /var/log/vmware/aam/aam_config_util.def”.

Solution:

1.       Put the host in maintenance mode.

2.       Remove host from Virtual Center.

3.       Reboot each host.

4.       Re-add into the Cluster or create a fresh Cluster.

Hopefully this help.


ESX: HA Error – Could not reach isolation address

February 17, 2009

 

Case on my customer, when I enable HA on DMZ Cluster, I get this error “Issue detected on esx.vmware in HA: Could not reach isolation address:  none specified”.

They have 8 ESX Server 3.5 Update 2 dan 1 vCenter 2.5 Update 3.

Solution:

1.       Check your Service Console Default Gateway on that host. Ensure you have the right IP for Gateway.

2.       Re-enable HA on that host.

Hopefully this help.
