Hi,
i just noticed, that the CPU load from around 30% jumps to around 70%. And this for the complete time since i installed the update.
Even after a reboot i have the same problem.
I found two hints:
The vAPI Endpoint shows a warning:
Failed to connect to 1da6ff8a-0bfd-4605-b4cc-c18ba520e95b\com.vmware.vcenter.nsxd.vapi vAPI provider.
And when using "top" on the vCenter CLI i have one process with high CPU:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES %CPU %MEM TIME+ S COMMAND
22892 root 20 0 753.5m 85.6m 98.7 0.5 30:11.56 S /usr/lib/vmware-wcp/wcpsvc --port 8920 --logfile /var/log/vmware/wcp/wcpsvc.log --configfile /etc/vmware/wcp/wcpsvc.yaml --audit-+
When i'm searching google for that service i found "Workload Management" this is for "Kubernetis", this i havn't licensed and i havn't NSX-D installed.
I stopped the serivce "Workload Control Plane" and the CPU load goes down.
Has somebody seen this behavior too?
Looks like a bug to me...
Kind regards
Stefan
I made some additional research, because when the service is stopped some other tasks don't work, like putting a host in maintenance mode.
I noticed only one thing:
Since the update there are no new log entrys written to this file:
/var/log/vmware/wcp/nsxd.log
Currently i don't want to open a support case and waste one of our "5" free cases for this problem...
I have stored my last successful backup of the VCSA, to revert to 7.0b and skip 7.0c, but i will wait a few days, perhaps someone can help here...
I'm seeing very high CPU now after patching yesterday to 7.0.0.10600 and am investigating but top is showing /usr/lib/vmware-wcp/wcpsvc as being consistently using 90%+ CPU.

But I still have a high CPU python process after stopping the Workload Control Plane service - https://twitter.com/guyrleech/status/1290320296625537024?s=20
I did put a proper internal cert on my vCenter server last week which the web interface and PowerCLI are ok with. This is from /var/log/vmware/pod/pod-console.log.* where there are in excess of 271K log files.
The bug has been reported and waiting on the fix.
Has anybody informations if VMware will provide a fix for this, or if we must wait for 7.0d?
i'm also seeing this.
thanks for the report that a fix is being worked on.

Same here ... waiting for workaround
(Not helping but at least you guys know you are not alone 🙂
This is going to be fixed in upcoming 7.0.0d.
@ChrisFD2: Will the EP1 avilable on the patches page in MyVMware or must i create a support ticket to get it?
It will be available via the patch portal however I would encourage all with this issue to create an SR so that GSS can keep you up to date on development.
O.k. thank you, but i can't create a SR, because we are a enterprise partner and have only 5 free cases in one year, so i will keep this cases for more important problems...
Fair enough, once it's released I will try and remember to post an update here, but also keep an eye on the patch portal. I can't see it being much longer now.
Any update here? I checked via the vcenter update function earlier today and nothing ... thx
just checked the bug, a hot patch is being worked on. these things take some time unfortunately.
Hi there,
From my end, I did a vCenter rollback to 7.0b (and I regretted not to have taken snapshots for once at that time - too much trust!)
The high CPU and/or the impossibility to use maintenance mode by disabling the service was not practicable.
Waiting the patch, like the others!
Cheers
vCenter 7.0.0d is out, I hope it will solve this issue.
I can't find anything on VAMI and neither on the Product Patches portal. Where do you have that info? Can you share a link?
I'm searching too, but in the product download, product patches download page i don't find a version "d".
And the server management told me that thare is no new versin too. The update planner the same...
