vSAN upgrade from 5.5 to 6.0 - Timeout to complete the operation

Hi all

I've been running a 5.5 vSAN configuration identical to William Lam to the virtual Ghetto (a killer custom installation of Apple Mac Mini running VSAN | virtuallyGhetto) for some time and the only reason not to upgrade more far was because of wanting to maintain a configuration of 5.x Horizon view inherited who needs vCenter 5.5. I've now decided this should not dictate my whole environment then after a successful move to 6.0 on the hosts and VCSA, I thought I would upgrade to vSAN 6 to take advantage of the improvements it brings, not to mention to remove the nagging alerts on the vSAN update available.

After running through the prerequisites this fact compensation involved in a number of vswp files inaccessible, vSAN reported a good state of health and so I started with the upgrade online, be sure to include - allow-reduced -redundancy I have a 3-node cluster.

When running and after about 20 minutes of nail biting (by accepting the fact that his machines of laboratory accommodation only, their fate can be determined by the success of failure of the upgrade), I received the following in the TVR: -.

: Deletion of this VSAN disk group failed

: A general error occurred: could not evacuate data for disk uuid 52da00fa-c8f2-fdb8-924c-3007d480ac4d with error: timeout to complete the operation

: Cannot delete the VSAN disk, leaving group.

: Upgrade tool stopped due to the error, please address reported the problem and run the tool again to complete the upgrade

Someone at - it guidance on how to approach the time-out, or he could escape that I would understand rather the root cause that blindly blow to remove all of the configuration and reboot.

Thanks for your help!

All the best

Hi Duncan,.

I managed to work around the problem in the end, in a weird way. I ended up changing the default vSAN FTT from 0 to 1 storage policy and reapplied to redistribute the data or the light evenly on the hosts as expected to the compliance of the report. After a few hours, I then changed the default vSAN strategy towards an FTT of 0 and again applied. By running the TVR command with the parameter - allow_reduced_redundancy again by the failed sequel, but a quick check on the vSAN has shown that the majority of data consumption was now on the hosts 2 and 3 with a tiny 3 GB of use reported against the disk of the host of the first group. At that time, I've been manually the disk group on host 1 (choose not to evacuate the small amount of data that has been left). After you re-create the disk on the host group, it automatically came back in as v2 and I repeated the process described above in the other two hosts effectively the content of vSAN brewing between the hosts and drop what I believe has been corrupted/no valid data on the host group could not be evacuated by the upgrade process.

At the end of it, all my virtual machines survived the upgrade of vSAN.

See you soon

    Is it possible to upgrade from version Extended CS6 13.0 x 64 to the latest version?

    Not sure what you mean by there. Cs6 is the "last" standalone version. For anything else you need to register for creative cloud and at best your existing license will be good for a discount on the first year. The rest is irrelevant by all means.

  • On Windows 7 upgrade from vista 64 bit stops after that it says the settings and files of collection

    I am tring to install Windows 7 upgrade from vista 64-bit.  I'm to the point where it says collect files and settings, and it stops running, and then in the details it shows 3 files located in the c: users\my name\appdata\local\temp\WER followed by numbers.tmp, then version, appcompat or mdmp. (example: wer5090.tmp.version.txt)  He said that these files are the reason. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

    1 disable any security software before attempting to upgrade

    2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)

    3. disconnect all external devices before installing.

    4. check your hard disk for errors:

    Click Start

    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD

    Click on "Run as Administrator"

    At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    User account control permission

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

    5. click on OK.

    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    Also run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/Upgrade-Advisor.aspx

    If the upgrade continues to fail, you might want to consider doing a custom installation:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    Hello together!

    We wanted to do an upgrade of vCenterServer 5.1 to 6.0.

    But we get an error after that I have to enter the vCenter Server credentials.

    It is the following error message:

    Error: IP address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is present in the certificate subject names alt but under DNS key.

    This ip address cannot be used for installation.

    Resolution: use a dns name or ip address that is present in the subject of certificate alt names or regenerate the ssl certificate for the SSO before continuing.

    I think that Yes, that's what he meant.

    I did a search and read the http://www.inside-oracle-apex.com/apex-4-1-error-handling-improvements-part-1/ page, but the new apex error handling is not clear to me, and I don't know if the apex_error_handling_example provided on this page would be applicable to this situation.

    Hello

    It was my fault, I forgot that the code will be compiled on the fly which already fails if the table/view of deletion is not accessible. Nice that you found yourself workaround.

    There is no direct upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. Direct upgrade is available only upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 (function editions). For Windows XP, you need to clean install and I suggest you take a look at:

    When I try to upgrade to windows Vista my freze computer when you complete the last upgrade operation. Then I have no key board, no mouse, and I have to close it manually. When I reboot it is reinstalled windows XP. I get no error message. What can be the problem?

    On the basis that report (thanks for that, even if it's in French -, and mine is pretty rusty :)), I recommend that you do the following things:
    First, download the latest drivers (both in Vista and XP versions) for your motherboard (chipset and onboard devices), a webcam and a printer; also download the latest versions of Intellitype and Intellipoint, and APC UPS software.  I suggest you all burn to a CD.
    Uninstall programs:
    -Intellitype
    -Intellipoint
    -Logitech Desktop Messenger
    APC - battery backup
    -Consumables HP shop
    Uninstall the drivers:

    Print drivers - HP (uninstall the Device Manager, delete the printer from the Printers folder and remove the driver source file (usually located in C:\HP_printername)

    Start Windows and try to re-run the upgrade.

    I know that the Upgrade Advisor is a not reports something like a show-stopper; However, I am of the school of thought that anything that can be even a slight problem should be corrected or deactivated for best results.

  • Upgrade from 1.1.4 to 1.2 (VMWare) ISE

    We intend to do an update on our runing EHT on VMWare. Our current version is the 1.1.4 and we expect upgrade to version 1.2. According to the published notes, 1.2 works on 64-bit and we currently use 32 bit on our ISE. I have red all the release notes and upgrade of Cisco and all guide does not include the process to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit. I created the project for the upgrade plan, here's what I think for the upgrade. Create a backup of ISE 1.1.4 install ISE 1.2 of new virtual machines and then restore the databases of 1.4 and then will upgrade the databases to version 1.2.

    Hello

    You can run the stright upgrade Installer v1.2 takes care of the conversion from 32 to 64 bits.

    Edit: You will need to change to RHEL 5 64-bit RHEL 5 32-bit host operating system.

    What is a stand alone ISE or a depoymentof more then one?

    If you have a deployment, you can start with your secondary node of PAN (admin). When finished high school announces that it is v1.2 and when you upgrade the next node, an NHP, it is conect Pan automatically in high school

    There may be problems during the upgrade to ISE, but with my last customer goes to version 1.2, everything worked as it should.

    But I have to prepare for the worst with DB Backup, backup of certifiactes + pvk, having access to administrators AD etc.

    Tip is to copy the upgrade file to the local disk and run the upgrade from there and reset the DB on the PSN knots to shorten the time of the upgrade.

  • vCenter Storage Monitoring Service Service initialization failed after the upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5

    I recently upgraded from vCenter 5.1 to 5.5. After the upgrade, I started getting health warnings for the VMware vCenter monitoring of Storage Service that say "failed to initialize the Service." I restarted the vCenter server and restart services several times and who has not deleted the question. When I look in the SMS. LOG file there is no activity in it since I did the upgrade (a week or more there). All prior activity in the SMS. JOURNAL seems to be well upward until the upgrade took place though. I found at least half a dozen KB articles that describe the various reasons why this error may occur, but they all relate to older versions of vCenter. Just to be complete, although I saw the symptoms in the articles and none of them really seem to be the same as what I see. My hypothesis is that perhaps the SMS did not get properly re-installed upgrading because I don't see any SMS subdirectory in the directory \Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\webapps but I do not know if this directory must exist on a 5.5 installation.

    If you would be grateful if anyone has any advice for troubleshooting for this type of error.

    Thank you

    Mike

    Change the credentials of the service account for VMware vSphere Profile-Driven Storage Service to those used to start the VMware vCenter Server service and the service of VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices. By default, the account used Local System.

    Restart the service, the change was made, and then check.
