CWZIP1200E: Unable to communicate with virtual management software by using IP address <IPv6>

Troubleshooting


Problem

The following event is generated:
CWZIP1200E Unable to communicate with the virtual management software using IP address <IPv6>

Diagnosing The Problem

To find which compute node <IPv6> it belongs to, do these steps:
  1. Click Hardware > Compute nodes.
  2. Select the compute node.
  3. Click the Compute node information section.
    IPv6 address and IPv4 address are displayed.
To check all open events for a compute node, do these steps:
  1. Click Hardware > Compute nodes.
  2. Select the compute node.
  3. Click the error: <number> or Warning <number>.
To check events in vCenter, do these steps:
  1. Start the vSphere web client.
  2. Select the compute node.
  3. Select Monitor > Tasks & Events.
  4. Select Tasks in the left column of the table.
  5. Sort on Start time.
  6. Find the date for the event.
  7. Look for the Disconnect or Connect status in the Task name column.

Resolving The Problem

To resolve the problem, do these steps:
  1. Click System > System settings.
  2. Select the External Application Access Settings section.
  3. Use an entry for compute nodes to get the compute node IPv4 and the credentials. 
  4. SSH to the compute node <IPv4> and log in with the credentials.
  5. Check the status of agents or services with the following commands:
    /etc/init.d/hostd status
    /etc/init.d/vpxa status
    /etc/init.d/vmware-fdm status
  6. If the status of agents or services is not running, restart them with the following commands:
    /etc/init.d/hostd restart
    /etc/init.d/vpxa restart
    /etc/inti.d/vmware-fdm restart
