How to rebuild vCMP guest VM - Viprion deployment

Hi,

I wonder if anyone had issue vCMP guest VM failure on one slot. I have three slot Viprion with guests set to all slots. After upgrade guest started but the guest VM on slot 2 failed. So now guest is running only on two slots. Slot 2 VM seems to be completely dead:

• No way to SSH using this slot member IP
• ssh slot 2 from slot 1 not working
• vconsole [guest name] 2 from host not working

I was not able to test

tmsh reboot slot 2

from guest slot 1 (Primary) but I highly doubt it will work. Sure I will try reboot guest chassis (like

tmsh reboot slot all

) but what if slot 2 VM will not boot again?

Any proven procedure?

My idea is to:

• Change guest state to configured
• Disable guest on slot 2

• Change state to provisioned - according to info collected:

  • VM will be deleted
  • vdisk will be preserved

• I think vdisk on slot 2 should be removed - hope can be done via host GUI vCMP ›› Virtual Disk List

After clean up:

• Change state to configured
• Enable guest on all slots (original setting)

• Change state to provisioned, I assume that:

  • VM will be created
  • vdisk will be copied from primary slot

• Change state to deployed

Should it work? Any better/safer way?
