PowerFlex 4.x vCenter 在部署完成前手動升級，導致部署失敗。

Summary: 在某些情況下，當 vCenter 升級到更高版本時，除了要部署的 RCM 或 IC，在進行中的僅運算資源群組部署過程中，部署工作可能會失敗，因為無法將 vmnic 新增至前端分散式虛擬交換器 （DVS）。 在這種情況下，PowerFlex Manager （PFxM） 可以將 vmnic 新增至後端生產 DVS，不會發生任何問題。

Symptoms

由於 PFxM 無法將 vmnic 新增至 FE 生產 DVS，因此無法完成僅運算部署。在 PFxM 部署記錄的 vcenter.out 記錄中，使用者會看到類似以下內容的項目：

Cause

發生此通訊問題是因為 PFxM 預期與較低版本的 vCenter 通訊。因此，它無法正確與更高版本通信。

Resolution

  • 使用 vSphere 使用者介面，手動將 vmnic 新增至 FE DVS。
  • 在 PFxM 中重試失敗的工作。
