Cannot configure host after successfully authenticated

[fnunez]

Hi all,

I have been trying to deploy Ontap select on an ESXi 6.0 and I cannot configure the host after is has been authenticated:

First step works fine:

host add --host-id 192.168.1.100 --username administrator@vsphere.local --vcenter 192.168.1.200

(ONTAPdeploy) host show-all
+---------------+---------------+------+
| Host          | Status        | Type |
+---------------+---------------+------+
| 192.168.1.100 | authenticated | ESX  |
+---------------+---------------+------+

Then I cannot configure it as I get an error:

(ONTAPdeploy) host configure --host-id 192.168.1.100 --location dc01 --storage-pool data --internal-network management --management-network management --data-network storage

Any ideas why this host is failing to apply the config? 

Thanks in advance.

Hi

  It looks like you are trying to deploy a single node. Currently, host configure requires internal-network parameter regardless of whether deploying single node or 4node (there is a bug filed against this issue). Single node should not require specifying an internal-network because no cluster ports are needed for that configuration.

   As a workaround, create an network portgroup with two vmnics connected to it with 10GE links and 9000 MTU. The vmnics doesn’t have to be connected to a physical switch. This will satisfy the configuration checks.

Hi Rick,

thanks for you reply. That was the problem indeed! Do you know what kind of error would I get if I try this on a server with only 1G ports. I presume it would not pass the pre-checks if it is looking for 10G ports.

Maybe it is simply not supported but, is it any way to configure a node with only 1G ports?

Thanks again!

Yes.  it will not pass the validation for 1G port speed. You would see "VmnicValidationFailed" error. ONTAP select does not support 1G ports for the internal network configuration. 

Hope this helps. Thanks!
