Unattended Deployment

The DataCore Installation Manager for vSphere unattended deployment requires the user to input if the vCenter has more than one Datacenter. There are two options to workaround. Either choose a datacenter during the unattended deployment and the deployment will continue or, to run the deployment with only one Datacenter in the vCenter.

vCenter Plugin

The Installation of vCenter Plugin fails because a former installed vCenter Plugin was not removed correctly or is already registered. There is no warning on the DIMv GUI.The vSphere Plugin is not accessible through vCenter as expected and a "page not found" error is displayed.

Workaround:

  1. Copy the vCenter Plugin package to the SDS-VM
  2. Install vCenter Plugin manually and re-register if asked
  3. Logout on the vCenter and login again afterward

Storage Array Type Plug-Ins

The ESXi fails to add Storage Array Type Plug-Ins (SATP) rules, when the SATP rules already exist.

Workaround:

Enter the SATP rule manually using the below command from CLI:

ESXicli storage nmp satp rule add -V DataCore -M "Virtual Disk" -s VMW_SATP_ALUA -c tpgs_on -P VMW_PSP_RR -O "iops=10 disable_action_OnRetryErrors"

Default Password

The password generated by DataCore Installation Manager for vSphere is hidden after you load the XML deployment plan using the Load button. If you proceed with the deployment, you will not be able to log into the virtual machines. To avoid this issue, click Edit and enter a password before you click Deploy.

CPU Reservation

In some rare cases, the CPU reservation of a virtual machine may be set to 75% instead of 100% due to insufficient capacity per physical CPU. For details on adjusting CPU reservation, see https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/techpaper/latency-sensitive-perf-vsphere55-white-paper.pdf
