In high scale VMware vSphere environments, where the ESXi hosts and vCenter server are highly loaded (for example, simultaneous powering on a large number of VMs), heartbeat messages sent by the ESXi hosts to the vCenter server may not be delivered in time.

If enabling either higher tier type, Direct connect with remote access or Gateway connect with remote access fails, wait for the backend issue to clear, then do the following: 1. Enable the related lower tier type, Direct connect without remote access or Gateway connect without remote access. 2. Disable the related lower tier type. 3. Re-enable the higher tier type, Direct connect with remote access or Gateway connect with remote access type. If the issue persists, contact your service provider. Delete old Data Collections to increase the available space in the file system so that SupportAssist can make a backup copy of the file for upload. In VMware, perform a compute vMotion, or power off and power on the virtual machine to force the ESXi host to bind to the vVols. Once you have completed those steps, the migration sessions can be resumed. Do not migrate NSX-T from dedicated NSX-T-managed Virtual Distributed Switches until the PowerStore X cluster is upgraded to a software version that supports vSphere Distributed Switches for PowerStore X cluster environments enabled with VMware NSX-T Data Center. In vCenter server, increase the heartbeat timeout interval to 120 seconds. See VMware Knowledge Base Article 1005757: "ESXi host disconnects intermittently from vCenter Server." In case some VMs appear as invalid or orphaned as a result of the ESXi host disconnect, see the VMware Knowledge Base Article 1003742: "Virtual machines appear as invalid or orphaned in vCenter Server." for instructions on recovering the VMs. Known Issues 31

Description
Workaround/Resolution
MDT-256673
SupportAssist
Cannot enable the SRS gateway on an
appliance. Version 3.48 of the SRS gateway
has an issue with connectivity from some
PowerStore systems.
Use a different version of the SRS
gateway.
MDT-153771
SupportAssist
Enabling either Direct connect with remote
access or Gateway connect with remote
access may fail.
If enabling either higher tier type, Direct
connect with remote access or Gateway
connect with remote access fails, wait for
the backend issue to clear, then do the
following:
1. Enable the related lower tier type,
Direct connect without remote access or
Gateway connect without remote access.
2. Disable the related lower tier type.
3. Re-enable the higher tier type, Direct
connect with remote access or Gateway
connect with remote access type.
If the issue persists, contact your service
provider.
MDT-148608
SupportAssist
Attempts to upload Support Materials fail.
SupportAssist is unable to upload files when
there is insufficient free space in the system
partition.
Delete old Data Collections to increase the
available space in the file system so that
SupportAssist can make a backup copy of
the file for upload.
MDT-377648
Virtualization
Due to VMware bug DCPN 00091955, vVol
migration sessions may sometimes go into a
system_paused state.
In VMware, perform a compute vMotion,
or power off and power on the virtual
machine to force the ESXi host to bind to
the vVols. Once you have completed those
steps, the migration sessions can be
resumed.
MDT-336285
Virtualization
Migrating NSX-T from NSX-T managed
Virtual Distributed Switches to vSphere
Distributed Switches is not currently
supported for PowerStore X cluster
environments enabled with VMware NSX-T
Data Center.
Do not migrate NSX-T from dedicated
NSX-T-managed Virtual Distributed
Switches until the PowerStore X cluster is
upgraded to a software version that
supports vSphere Distributed Switches for
PowerStore X cluster environments
enabled with VMware NSX-T Data Center.
MDT-156507
Virtualization
In high scale VMware vSphere
environments, where the ESXi hosts and
vCenter server are highly loaded (for
example, simultaneous powering on a large
number of VMs), heartbeat messages sent
by the ESXi hosts to the vCenter server may
not be delivered in time. When the
heartbeat is not received in the 60-second
timeout interval, the host is considered as
not responding, and the host is marked as
disconnected. This may result in the vSphere
High Availability (HA) to trigger VM
migrations to other hosts in the cluster.
In vCenter server, increase the heartbeat
timeout interval to 120 seconds. See
VMware Knowledge Base Article 1005757:
“ESXi host disconnects intermittently from
vCenter Server.”
In case some VMs appear as invalid or
orphaned as a result of the ESXi host
disconnect, see the VMware Knowledge
Base Article 1003742: “Virtual machines
appear as invalid or orphaned in vCenter
Server.” for instructions on recovering the
VMs.
