Hyperflex Edge intersight deploy failed with VLAN ID for storage data

I have hyperflex edge 2 node and deploy with intersight, I found some error with  VLAN ID for storage data network

'ailed in Task: 'Verify Storage Cluster' with Error: 'Please check if network configuration information (e.g. VLAN ID for storage data network) is correct Waiting for Cluster creation to finish ... Storage cluster creation failed: message: KeeperErrorCode = ConnectionLoss severity: error id: 1'

in configuration I use separate vlan from vlan management.

Need to confirm that the vlan specified for the storage data network is actually defined on upstream switches, and that it is allowed on trunk ports connected to servers.  It appears networking issues are keeping the storage controller storage data IPs from communicating with each other.

I already config port for each other like this.

-----node 1-----

interface Ethernet1/43
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 240-241
spanning-tree port type edge trunk

interface Ethernet1/44
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 240-241
spanning-tree port type edge trunk

-----node 2-----

interface Ethernet1/45
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 240-241
spanning-tree port type edge trunk

interface Ethernet1/46
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 240-241
spanning-tree port type edge trunk

 

vlan 240 for management

vlan 241 for data storage

and I found error with storage controller link local ip cannot ping.

I would do basic L2/L3 networking troubleshooting.

If you ping out from ESXi on VLAN 241 to the other ESXi host do you get a response (is ping working)?
Does ESXi learn the other nodes MAC address (is ARP working)?
Is the ESXi vmk1 MAC address learned upstream on VLAN 241 (is upstream Layer2/VLAN working)?
Is VLAN 241 correctly configured on the ESXi vSwitch and vSwitch port-groups?
Is VLAN 241 correctly configured on the Cisco VIC?

Do you happen to have ACI upstream? ACI has some non-obvious defaults which need to be corrected.

in esxi vlan assign are correct and I can ping link local between 2 vm

Hi @wararitwongrat ,

You have a 2 node edge.  There are two ways to cable these (See Checklist for 2-Node Edge Deployments)

Have you cabled it like this - which is more common and the way @Kirk J has assumed - with a Cisco Vic card installed and 25G interfaces connected to an upstream switch?RedNectar_1-1668625968556.png

Or have you cabled it like this - with the 10G Interfaces directly connected to each other and Intel 4x1G interface cards?

RedNectar_0-1668625851548.png

IF you have the nodes with the 1G interfaces (2nd diagram), check the cabling of the 10G interfaces - the data VLAN is not needed on the upstream switches - so I'd be suspecting that the cabling is not correct.

IF you have cabled it as in the first diagram, check the cabling of the 25G interfaces they should be connected to ports 1 and 2 on each HyperFlex host - ports 3&4 are NOT used.

Now - here's the thing.  When HyperFlex nodes are shipped for deployments with Fabric Interconnects, it is ports 1 and 3 that are active NOT ports 1 & 2, so if the HyperFlex nodes have been shipped as for a FI deployment, you may have to get into the BIOS to fix it. (This has happened to me once, except it was the other way around - was set up for edge and I was doing an FI install)

Assuming the cabling is all good, then paste the output of these two commands from the switches

show vlan id 241 

show interface trunk

The first checks that you've actually CREATED VLAN 241 on the switch, the second shows that it is active - which I expect it will be given then the configuration you showed in your later post.

I have 2 hyperflex edge node with single tor switch and connected 10G on vic1457.
