Hi All,
I'm simulating a deployment of ESX 6.5U1 on our dev servers before attempting on the new production units.
I've tried installing basic vsan from the vcenter server in a 2 node setup. However, installation is partially successful as it fails under the "Virtual SAN CLOMD liveness" step which as i've read is critical for object creation. Looking at the VMWare KB it shows that the service should be running and if so restarted at the least. After several attempts at restarting the service, restarting the host servers, decommissioning and setting up the VSAN install, i can't seem to get pass this issue.
The host servers always have the CLOMD status as running, which is what is even more confusing. It's as if the vcenter server is unable to communicate with the process though they all (vcenter, 2 nodes) sit on the same subnet with no firewall between. I've attached some screenshots for clarity.
Grateful if any one can chime with suggestions.
