  1. 2. Or from web.log:
2022-07-14T17:15:46.190+0000  ERROR  [tomcat-http--34] com.vce.commons.core.services.JschSSHClient JschSSHClient.jschSftpUpload:136 -  failed to upload file to node: /vmfs/volumes/<Node PSNT>-01-01-service-datastore1/vxrail-datastore/
com.jcraft.jsch.SftpException: No such file

Cause

  1. Recovery bundle is missing from the directory /data/store2/recovery/ as LCM is not completed.
  2. The new node has an incorrect datastore name at this stage. The expected datastore name should be /vmfs/volumes/<Node PSNT>-01-01-service-datastore1/vxrail-datastore/.

Resolution

  1. Get a correct recovery bundle from a known working VxRail Manager with the same version and copy it to /data/store2/recovery/.
     Or contact Dell Support to regenerate the recovery bundle.
  2. Rename the node datastore name to the default and make sure the folder structure is correct.
