VxRail: Event Code VXR108130 - vLCM enablement was failed

Follow the vLCM enablement procedure to enable vLCM. If the operation fails, the VxRail manager calls out event VXR108130.

This event code indicates "VxRail Manager vLCM enablement operation failed."

If a customer has manually upgraded the host driver to a later version than the cluster-matched version, it causes a vLCM enablement validation failure.

Figure 1. vLCM Not Ready.

In this situation, follow the steps below to downgrade the driver to the cluster-matched version.

1. Enable SSH access for each host to go to.

2. Get the driver file from the recovery bundle in folder path /data/store2/recovery. After extracting the recovery bundle, list the driver file by ls command.
   For example: Intel-ixgben_1.15.1.0-1OEM.800.1.0.20613240_21375148.zip.

3. Copy the driver file to host through the scp command.
4. Remove the current driver by:

   esxcli software vib remove -n ixgben

5. Reinstall the driver by:

   esxcli software vib install -d /Intel-ixgben_1.15.1.0-1OEM.800.1.0.20613240_21375148.zip

6. Reboot the host by:

   esxcli system shutdown reboot -r 'replace driver'

Example output of steps 4, 5, and 6:

7. If all preceding steps have been configured, restore the SSH access setting that was altered in step 1.

8. Retry vLCM enablement on the vSphere UI.
