Installation error Nexus 1000v

When I want to install the Nexus 1000v on a standalone ESX1 5.1 installation I get at Step 5. Confirmation the error (see attachment):
Unable to retrieve deployed VM. Please check VC connection
It's an easy setup with 4 vlans on a trunk, and the managment ip of the ESXi server in vlan 1 which is allowed on the trunk.
What am I doing wrong..... Please help..

I am getting the same error when trying to deploy a new VSM. Tried Layer 2 standard and custom, adjusted different things but can't get it to work. Getting that same error:
Unable to retrieve deployed VM. Please check VC connection.
I am trying to add the VSM with the name '87457-n1kv01.den03'. I checked the hostd.log file and see a bunch of errors. Any idea how to fix this?

  • Installation of Nexus 1000v 4.2.1.SV2.1.1 - Operation timed out.

    Hi,
    We are trying to install the latest version of Nexus 1000v to ESXi5.1 and the installer application is much better than the previos one, but we are having problems with implemetation, because deploying of OVA file times out.
    First attempt: Nexus-1 was successfully deployed on ESXi-1, but Nexus-2 which should be deployed on ESXi-2 returned an error: "Deploy OVF template":"Operation timed out."
    Second attempt: Deploying of Nexus-1 returned the same error
    Third attempt: The same as the first attempt.
    It looks like that there is a time limit which is used for deploying OVA file and since file needs to be uploaded to ESXi it takes too long, so the installation fails. Is it possible to extend this time?
    BR,  M.

    Hi Mtrcek,
    The fact that it  gets to the 'Deploy OVF Template' step and then fails still points to one of two possible things:
    1. DNS
    2. Storage
    1. DNS - When you say you put entries in hosts files it tells me you are looking at the DNS on the VC or ESX hosts. What you need to check is the DNS on the vShield Manager. DNS servers need to be configured on the vShield Manager, also a good way to test is to log in to the CLI of the vShield Manager and from there ping by hostname the VC and the ESX servers.
    2. Storage - make sure there is enough space on the datastore where you are deploying the vShield Zones firewall and make sure there are no latency/slowness when writing to the disk. A quick test is to install the vShield Zones firewall on local disk, just to rule out the shared storage being the issue. Of course, this is not the recommended installation location and I would strongly suggest to uninstall and then re-install on shared storage once the issue is fixed (Assuming there are issues with shared storage).
    ne more thing I noticed from the screenshot is that you have not applied the license keys for vShield App and vShield Edge. I mention this because you say your test plan requires Edge and most likely vShield App (not the free version: Zones). You will need to apply the license keys in order to be able to deploy Edge.
    Please check DNS/Storage.

    vShield Data Security Installation Fails
    Problem
    During vShield Data Security installation, I get an error while installing the service virtual machine and an
    error message on vSphere client.
    NAME=deploy OVF template Target=VMWARE-Data Security-xxxx
    Status=operation timed out
    Cause
    The DNS setup for vShield Manager may not be consistent with the DNS setup for the host in vCenter Server.
    Solution
    Change the vShield Manager DNS setup so that it matches the host setup.
    Regards
    please rate if it helps.

  • Nexus 1000V VEM Issues

    I am having some problems with VSM/VEM connectivity after an upgrade that I'm hoping someone can help with.
    I have a 2 ESXi host cluster that I am upgrading from vSphere 5.0 to 5.5u1, and upgrading a Nexus 1000V from SV2(2.1) to SV2(2.2).  I upgraded vCenter without issue (I'm using the vCSA), but when I attempted to upgrade ESXi-1 to 5.5u1 using VUM it complained that a VIB was incompatible.  After tracing this VIB to the 1000V VEM, I created an ESXi 5.5u1 installer package containing the SV2(2.2) VEM VIB for ESXi 5.5 and attempted to use VUM again but was still unsuccessful
    I removed the VEM VIB from the vDS and the host and was able to upgrade the host to 5.5u1.  I tried to add it back to the vDS and was given the error below:
    vDS operation failed on host esxi1, Received SOAP response fault from [<cs p:00007fa5d778d290, TCP:esxi1.gooch.net:443>]: invokeHostTransactionCall
    Received SOAP response fault from [<cs p:1f3cee20, TCP:localhost:8307>]: invokeHostTransactionCall
    An error occurred during host configuration. got (vim.fault.PlatformConfigFault) exception
    I installed the VEM VIB manually at the CLI with 'esxcli software vib install -d /tmp/cisco-vem-v164-4.2.1.2.2.2.0-3.2.1.zip' and I'm able to add to to the vDS, but when I connect the uplinks and migrate the L3 Control VMKernel, I get the following error where it complains about the SPROM when the module comes online, then it eventually drops the VEM.

    I have tried gracefully removing ESXi-1 from the vDS and cluster, reformatting it with a fresh install of ESXi 5.5u1, but when I try to join it to the N1KV it throws the same error.

    Hi, 
    The SET_PORT_STATE_FAIL message is usually thrown when there is a communication issue between the VSM and the VEM while the port-channel interface is being programmed. 
    What is the uplink port profile configuration? 
    Other hosts are using this uplink port profile successfully?
    The upstream configuration on an affected and a working host is the same? (ie control VLAN allowed where necessary)
    Per kpate's post, control VLAN needs to be a system VLAN on the uplink port profile.
    The VDC SPROM message is a cosmetic defect

  • Nexus 1000v VEM module bouncing between hosts

    I'm receiving these error messages on my N1KV and don't know how to fix it.  I've tried removing, rebooting, reinstalling host B's VEM but that did not fix the issue.  How do I debug this?
    My setup,
    Two physical hosts running esxi 5.1, vcenter appliance, n1kv with two system uplinks and two uplinks for iscsi for each host.  Let me know if you need more output from logs or commands, thanks.

  • SCVMM Kicks out Nexus 1000V Uplink NIC Any ideas?

    The SCVMM suddenly kicks out the Nexus 1000V Uplink NIC,
    thus preventing me from remediating the change.
    Also i get this error message
    Using Hyper V as virtualization platform

    Hello,
    You can use one Ethernet port-profile with a channel-group command (like 'channel-group auto mode on mac-pinning') and assign it to all the vmnic interfaces that need to carry the same set of VLANs
    The same port-profile can be used on other hosts too. The N1k would automatically bundle (port-channel) the interfaces that belong to the same ESX host (accomplished through the 'channel-group auto' command)
    If you need the interfaces to carry separate sets of VLANs, then you need a different port-profile.
    Port-profile is just a container for a common set of configuration that you can apply for multiple interfaces across multiple hosts.
    Thanks,
    Shankar

  • Weird syslog format messages with Nexus 1000v

    I'm  trying out the Nexus 1000v, and have the VEM configured to write logs to my  syslog server. The thing is, the messages are in a weird format that my  log management tools cannot parse. Here is an example:
    <189>: 2012 Oct 21 15:22:40 UTC: %VSHD-5-VSHD_SYSLOG_CONFIG_I: Configured from vty by admin on unknown_session
    I found the documentation rather  amusing, where it states "The syslog client functionality is RFC-5424  compliant" - doesn't look like they've even read the RFC! This is closer  to the format of the older (but more often found in the wild,  RFC3164... though not compliant with that either :/
    Anyway,  I guess the main issue here is that the hostname of the 1000v is not  being added to the logs (it is set in my config). Any ideas how I can  fix this?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
         Do you have vCenter install on Win2012 Server? The installation would not continue until you have vCenter installed.

  • DCNM - Nexus 1000v compatibility

    Is DCNM v5.2(2a) compatible with Nexus 1000v v4.2(1)SV1(4a)?
    We are getting an SNMP OID error when we try.
    The compatibility matrix (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/5_x/dcnm/matrix/matrix.html) is unclear.

    Hello Grant.
    4.2(1) is the NX-OS version for N1k.  The matrix indicates all SV1(4) versions are supported
    SV14# sh version | inc system
      system:    version 4.2(1)SV1(4a)
    Please let us know the exact SNMP OID error.  You may want to debug snmp errors on the N1k side when attempting to add the N1k.

  • Nexus 1000v 4.2.1 - Interface Ethernet3/5 has been quarantined due to Cmd Failure

    Hello,
    i get the error message "Interface Ethernet3/5 has been quarantined due to Cmd Failure" when i try to activate the System Uplink ports on the Nexus 1000v VSM. The symptom occurs under 4.2.1.SV1.4 (has been fresh setup, did before tests with 4.0.4). Unfortunately, the link to the 4.2.1 troubleshooting guide does not work (seems it hasn't been released yet).
    Has anyone an idea what the root cause could be?

    Sean,
    thank you !
    "show accounting log" helped me - i had the command spanning-tree port type edge trunk in the config which i somehow didn't realize that we hadn't this command in the 4.0.4 lab setup...so it was a copy/paste error (i copied the port-profile config from the N5k down to the N1k).
    Fri Feb 25 07:20:32 2011:update:ppm.13880:admin:configure terminal ; interface Ethernet3/5 ; spanning-tree port type edge trunk (FAILURE)
    Fri Feb 25 07:20:32 2011:update:ppm.13890:admin:configure terminal ; interface Ethernet3/5 ; shutdown (FAILURE)
    As the N1k doesn't do STP at all (or does it? ) it's no wonder that the cli was complaining ...
    Maybe this command should get more attention in the tshoot guide as it seems to be a very helpful one.
    Cheers & Thanks,
    Andy

  • Nexus 1000v repo is not available

    Hi everyone.
    Cisco Yum repo for nexus 1000v is not available at the moment. I am wondering, is it Ok and Cisco finished it experiment with free Nexus1k or I need to contact someon (who?) to ask him to fix this problem.
    PS Link to the repo: https://cnsg-yum-server.cisco.com/yumrepo

    Let's set the record straight here - to avoid confusion.
    1. VEMs will continue to forward traffic in the event one or both VSM are unavailable - this requires the VEM to remain online and not reboot while both VSMs are offline. VSM communication is only required for config changes (and LACP negociation prior to 1.4)
    2.  If there is no VSM reachable, and a VEM is reboot, only then will the System VLANs go into a forwarding state.  All other non-system VLANs will remain down. This is to faciliate the Chicken & Egg theory of a VEM being able to initially communicate with a VSM to obtain its programming.
    The ONLY VLANs & vEth Profiles that should be set as system vlans are:
    1000v-Control
    1000v-Packet
    Service Console/VMkernel for Mgmt
    IP Storage (iSCSI or NFS)
    Everything else should not be defined as a system VLAN including VMotion - which is a common Mistake.
    **Remember that for a vEth port profile to behave like a system profile, it must be define on BOTH the vEth and Eth port profiles.  Two factor check.  This allows port profiles that maybe are not critical, yet share the same VLAN ID to behave differently.
    There are a total of 16 profiles that can include system VLANs.  If you exceed this, you can potentially run into issues with the Opaque data pushed from vCenter is truncated causing programming errors on your VEMs.  Adhering to the limitations above should never lead to this situation.
    Regards,
    Robert

  • My iTunes wont update, and I can't connect my new iPhone if it doesn't update. It says error when I try to update, and I cant download it because of a "Windows Installer" error...

    I just not a new iPhone and in order to sync it I need the newest iTunes, but I can't update it! I tried checking for updates and then trying to downlaod it. I get this error: "Errors occured while installing the updates. If the problem persists, chose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually."
    Where on earth is Tools anyway?
    When I tried just reinstalling all of iTunes, I had a Windows Installer error...I don't even know what that is!

  • Software Update, 10.6.6 installation error!!

    Hi all, hope someone can help.
    I have a Mac Pro running 10.6.5. I upgraded to 10.6.5 recently and had problems with this. When using Software Update, it would download, log out and install only to get an error at the end saying it couldn't install, with no explanation of why. I did some investigation and it boiled down to Safari (one of the updates in the list to install along with 10.6.5) wasn't being replaced. I had to delete Safari from my applications folder before updating. I tried rebuilding permissions and even installed from the installers from the apple download page. but until I deleted Safari from my apps folder it would fail every time.
    Since I assumed that it was a corrupt copy of safari and all other update went ok I assumed I had fixed the problem.
    Now I'm trying to install the update of 10.6.6 via Software Update. and I'm getting the same problems. It downloads, reboots, installs then at the end says that it was not installed because of an error and promps me to restart.
    I have downloaded the update and run it from the desktop and it goes through the install as follows:-
    Installing
    optimizing system
    Moving files
    installation failed.
    It seems that it isn't able to replace existing files on my system with new ones therefore fails the install.
    Has anyone got any ideas? I have repaired permissions with disk utility and tried repairing them while booting from the 10.6.3 system disc, still no joy
    Many thanks

    Worse problem here. I get the installation error then the computer attempts to reboot and I get locked at the gray background apple screen. Tried safe boot power on +SHIFT a status bar comes up and goes 3/4 away across and locks. Running permissions repair from Mac OEM disk set was no help. Had to do a time machine restore. Seems my install error is catastrophic. On the upside time machine works very well.. A bit disappointed with my Windows-esque crash

  • ITunes 12.1.1 installation errors and resolution (Win 7, 64 bit)

    I am providing all of the installation errors I had experienced
    and all of the methods I had tried until I finally came up with a solution.
    Hopefully the details will help you see if your situation has similarities
    which hopefully will make this post helpful in terms of a solution.
    PART ONE: INSTALLATION ERRORS
    I received the following installation errors
    when attempting to update to 12.1.1
    and later once I uninstalled and attempted to reinstall 12.1.1.
    I used this link for the download:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/?cid=wwa-us-kwg-music-itu
    > itunes 6464setup.exe
    I then tried this link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1614
    > itunes 12.1.1 64 bit
    Again 6464 in the name.
    After uninstalling the iunes,
    I discovered under add/remove programs:
    apple application support 32 bit
    and apple support update
    I deleted these and restarted the PC.
    I then tried reinstalling a NEW version
    from the second link above.
    Opened download iTunes 6464setup.exe >
    Windows installer> iTunes > welcome to itunes
    > next > installation options > install > user account control
    > yes > next > (error message via pop-up window):
    ERROR MESSAGE ONE
    "An error occurred during installation of assembly Microsoft VC80 CRT Type ="win32",
    version = "8.0.50727.6195".publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"
    processorArchitecture ="amd64".
    Please refer to Help and Support
    for more information.
    HRESULT: 0X80070091"

    (error message via pop-up window):
    ERROR MESSAGE 2
    "Service 'Apple Mobile Device Service' (Apple Mobile Device Service)
    failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient permission to start system services"
    SIDE NOTE
    There was a USB cable connected to the PC to charge the iPhone,
    but the iPhone was not connected. I detached the USB cable from the PC in case it's relevant.
    (I did not reattach the USB cable until I finally got a copy of itunes to install. You will see later in this post below.).
    I then clicked Retry.
    ERROR MESSAGE 2 AGAIN
    I received the identical 'Apple Mobile Device Service' error as above.
    I then clicked Ignore.

    > User Account Control pop-up window)
    > Do you want to allow to install Apple iTunes>
    Yes >

    a)
    "Apple Application Support was not found.
    Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes.
    Please uninstall iTunes and install iTunes again.
    Error 2 "
    > (iTunes pop-up error window)
    > iTunes
    b)
    "Apple Application Support was not found.
    Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes.
    Please uninstall iTunes and install iTunes again.
    Error 2 (Windows Error 2)"
    > OK > OK
    ERROR MESSAGE 4
    I received all of these errors above
    when I had tried a fresh install before returning to the forum to search for answers.
    When I had first tried a fresh install, I didn't get as far as the Congrats.
    I only got as far as the first and second error listed above
    ("An error occurred during installation of assembly Microsoft VC80 CRT Type ="win32"...
    AND Service 'Apple Mobile Device Service' (Apple Mobile Device Service").
    Clicked on iTunes icon on desktop
    ERROR MESSAGE 5
    I receive the (iTunes pop-up error message window)
    error 2 windows error 2 (identical to what's listed listed under 3b).
    PART 2 - INSTALLATION RESOLUTION
    The issue finally is resolved.
    HERE IT IS!!!
    1) Uninstall iTunes
    2) check remaining Apple programs
    (click control panel > programs > uninstall)
    > check the listed Apple programs
    Apple Application Support 32 bit,
    Apple Mobile Device Support,
    Apple Software Update,
    Bonjour
    3) Locate and save the correct file version of iTunes for your OS and System.
    In my case, it's Win 7.
    You must check for the System Type.
    Computer > right click to properties > system type.
    In my case its 64 bit.
    The 32 bit installer is named iTunesSetup.exe,
    while the 64 bit installer is named iTunes64Setup.exe.
    I learned that some folks had experienced issues with
    the 64 bit installer on the Apple site whether it's
    because they had downloaded the 32 bit
    when they needed the 64 and therefore
    couldn't complete the install or in my case,
    what appears to perhaps be a corrupted file that stated 6464 in the .exe file name.
    This lead me to believe that finding the file with the correct file name and
    correct file size to prove it authentic for that version would likely be part of
    the solution if not the solution. File Hippo is one suggested means to locate the file.
    I locate the iTunes download "iTunes64Setup.exe" that matched the size of the file
    to a valid copy of that version of ITunes and I set it aside.
    4) I then made sure that all old copies
    and remnants of iTunes and Apple software
    has been uninstalled by checking add/remove.
    Then C: program files
    and then C: program files (x86),
    then running CC Cleaner,
    then cleaning the registry using CC Cleaner
    and then checking Tools under CC Cleaner.
    ***I discovered under Tools that there were remaining Apple files listed
    after the uninstall of iTunes and other files had taken place under iTunes***
    I visit tools under CC Cleaner and deleted the remaining Apple files
    including Apple Application Support, Mobile Device Support, and Bonjour,
    ***but I leave the Apple Software Update folder as is, in tact***
    under C: Program files (x86) and Tools of CC Cleaner and under Add/Remove.
    5) I restart the computer, install the new copy of iTunes 12.1.1 (64 bit),
    iTunes64Setup.exe, and it installed with zero errors.
    Hope someone will find this useful. Good luck.

    Try the "for older video cards" version.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
