VxVerify hangs

Question

I'm preparing for an upgrade from 7.0.521 to 8.0.300. vxverify_x-40-830 hangs at the first host. I've tried running both from the command line and the vxv shell, while waiting 20+ minutes for it to finish. Following are last rows from vxv.log. The other odd thing is that the date and time are correct on VxRail Manager but are off in the log. 2024-09-03 16:11:26-INFO     [minion_run2] Minion on fqdn esxi1.xxx.local is ready, so now running commands to start it2024-09-03 16:11:26-INFO     [minion_run2] Run esxi1 minion: nohup /usr/lib/vmware/rp/bin/runInRP --max=-1 python -u /tmp/xc1d8-minion.pyc -c 1  -s -j -x f3 -n 2 --b64 eyJtaXAiOiAiMTkyLjE2OC4xMy4xMTEifQ== --sig c1d82024-09-03 16:11:26-INFO     [minion_run2] Flushing buffers for ['esxi1'] and pausing until next minion can be sent2024-09-03 16:11:29-INFO     [host_df_tmp] Querying Free space and inodes on hosts /tmp

Opened a case with Dell. The tech cleared a bunch of iDRAC warnings from a recent TPM update. Was not able to reproduce the vxv issue thereafter.

I had the same issue, vxverify hangs on the Step 2 : Start minion program on node: ESXi1. So I managed to resolve this only by rebooting the IDRAC from the console
