Update 2 Pegasus problem

[gragdrind]

Hi everyone.

I've got 4 ESX hosts - all IBM x3650. 3 of them were put in a the same time, and initially installed with IBM Director agents. After Update 2 and the cluster network 'enhanced' checking feature, I rejigged them all to be on the same VLAN for 'Service Console' This entailed a deal of rebooting. I managed to get one of the original 3 past the /var/pegasus/vmware/install_queue/1 problem (easy find on google). I'm now stuck at file/folder 11. The newer machine which never got IBM Director installed didn't have those problems, and shows the inventory in VI Client. The older machines show no hardware info. here's the errors from 11.log:

Anyone have any idea please?

hi,

http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2008/04/28/pegasus-error-after-installing-esx-35-update-1/

-->

vi /var/pegasus/vmware/install_queue/3_files/mofs/root/PG_Interop/roleauth-schema.mof

#pragma include ("VMware_Identity.mof") <------ insert this

#pragma include ("VMware_IdentityMemberOfCollection.mof")

It also needs to be added in the standard cimv2 path.

vi /var/pegasus/vmware/install_queue/3_files/mofs/root/cimv2/roleauth-schema.mof

#pragma include ("VMware_Identity.mof") <------ insert this

#pragma include ("VMware_IdentityMemberOfCollection.mof")

Copy the missing file from the stardard cimv2 path to the shared path.

cp /var/pegasus/vmware/install_queue/3_files/mofs/root/cimv2/VMware_Identity.mof /var/pegasus/vmware/install_queue/3_files/mofs/root/PG_Interop/

Stop and start the service with these commands.

/etc/init.d/pegasus stop

/etc/init.d/pegasus start

Thanks Reinhard, already tried that - and now get the failure at 11, not 3. The install queues remaining to be processed are 11 - 16.

Hi,

hmmm ... do a

cd /var/pegasus/vmware/install_queue/

ls -al

do you have any files or subdirs there.

Do you have a 1_files there? if , yes you could try the steps with 11_files too, ´just guessing ...

Could you post the error message?

hth,

Reinhard

You're very patient to be considering this problem - thank you.

Hello,

Installing IBM Director is not a good thing on the ESX system. It use pegasus and will have conflicts with the current release.

Have you unistalled Director. I would start there.

Your issue is not the same issue as this

Please undo those changes as they may make it more difficult to fix.

[gragdrind]

11.log is in the first posting, and you're right (Mike) that the problem is not the same as the 3.log problem which afflicted Update 1. I have uninstalled Director, and restarted the server.

Thanks All.

Hi,

In the end, I just re-installed the ESX servers. Didn't take long, and I got rid of all the errors. I've marked both your suggestions as helpful.

Thank you
