hyperflex 2.6

[Networker_eg]

I have several issues deploying Hyperflex 2.6 fresh installation :

1)when I try to connect to the GUI of the cluster it takes a long time to load and sometimes fail even to load the GUI

2)Failed to upload files to HX-datastores

did anyone face similar issues with HX 2.61b

Regards

Amr

Can you clarify: 

1. The GUI is HX Connect or HX Plugin on vCenter Web Client (Java version, not HTML 5) 

2. What's the current cluster health? 

- SSH to the CMIP (cluster management IP) and run: stcli cluster storage-summary --detail

Hello Amr,

Hyperflex 2.6

You can try re configuring the data store via the vCenter plugin. You can find the Hyperflex at the vCenter Inventory List

Configuring Your HyperFlex Cluster
Step 1   
In your web browser, enter the IP address of the installer VM, and click Accept or Continue to bypass any SSL certificate errors.

Step 2   
Verify the HyperFlex installer Build ID in the lower right corner of the login screen.

Step 3   
Log in to Cisco HX Data Platform Installer using username root and password Cisco123.

Important    
Systems ship with a default password of Cisco123 that must be changed during installation. You cannot continue installation unless you specify a new user supplied password.

Step 4   
Read the End User Licensing Agreement, check I accept the terms and conditions, and click Login.

Step 5   
On the Workflow page, click Cluster Creation with HyperFlex Edge.

Step 6   
On the Credentials page, complete the following fields, and click Continue.

Cisco HX HX-datastores Software Installation
Step 1   
Launch vSphere Web Client, and log in to the vCenter Server as an administrator.

Step 2   
Under vCenter Inventory Lists, verify that Cisco HX Data Platform displays.

If the entry for Cisco HX Data Platform does not appear, log out of vCenter, close the browser, and log back in. In most cases, the issue is resolved by this action.

If logging out of vCenter does not fix the issue, you may have to restart the vSphere Web Client. SSH to the VCSA and run service vsphere-client restart. For a Windows vCenter, restart VMware vSphere Web Client in the services page in mmc.

Step 3   
Ensure that your new cluster is online and registered.
