VMware vSphere Update Manager 5 remediation fails


Issue

When VMware vSphere Update Manager 5 tries to remediate a host, the remediation fails at 25% with the below error:

fault.com.vmware.vcIntegrity.VcIntegrityFault.summary


Root Cause

  • You may have VMs with RDM disks. Shutdown these VMs to remediate successfully.
  • You may have DRS rules configured for that host. Disable the rule for successful remediation.
  • You may have VMs with Shared storage clustering. The SCSI controller in bus sharing mode will not allow vMotion or svMotion operations. Shutdown these VMs to remediate successfully.
  • You may have VMs with CD rom or other external devices attached to it. Detach removable devices from the VM and remediate.

What is iSCSI port binding ? Port binding is used in iSCSI when multiple VMkernel ports for iSCSI reside in the same broadcast domain and IP subnet, to allow multiple paths to an iSCSI array that broadcasts a single IP address.
