Error F0933: The named VLAN for vNIC cannot be resolved

[richard.placek]

I've been looking all over net for help on this one but I can't seem to find anything.  We just recently upgraded our UCS Chassis, FI's and Blades from 2.0(1q) to 2.1(1e) and we're receiving an error message on all our provisioned VLAN's.  The VLAN's are functioning and passing traffic, but I'd like to try clearing the 900+ warnings.  Here's the details of the error:

<faultInst

ack="no"

cause="referenced-vlan-unresolvable"

code="F0933"

created="2013-05-06T18:05:12"

descr="The named vlan QA-VLAN_406 for vNIC VM1 cannot be resolved"

dn="org-root/ls-QA_ESXi-1/ether-VM1/if-QA-VLAN_406/fault-F0933"

<snip>

rule="vnic-ether-if-vlan-unresolvable"

severity="warning"

status="created"

tags=""

type="configuration">

</faultInst>

Any help is greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.

You've removed a VLAN from the system under the "LAN" tab, but there's a vNIC template or service profile template referencing it.   We've only just now in 2.1 added a "check" to ensure any VLANs referenced in a vNIC template resolve to an active VLAN.

Find and remove it from the template/policy and it will go away.

Ah ha!  I found them.  Someone had removed the VLAN's from the Fabric Interconnects but not from the Service Profiles / Templates. 

Thank you very much!

Anytime Richard.  Let us know if you have any other questions!

Cheers,

Hi Robert,

I've done exactly what you suggested and after unbinding the vnic to the template and deleting the VLANs, I will bind the vnic back to the template, but the error comes back.  Any ideas or thoughts with this?

Thank you!

Nevermind, I found the stale VLANs in the vnic templates, vNIC Interfaces tab.  Thanks anyway.

Did not want to start another thread, but I will if I need to.  I am also experiencing this error:

Error F0933: The named VLAN for vNIC cannot be resolved

However, I have removed the VLAN from the Global VLAN area.  I have removed the VLANs from each of the vNIC Templates (A side and B side), but I am using a LAN Connectivity Policy and that policy still sees the deleted VLANs and therefore my ESX servers do as well.

How can I remove these deleted VLANs from the LAN Connectivity Policy?

And nvm...i figured it out.  It was another bug in the interface it seems.  If I went to VNIC Templates and selected the template in question and clicked modify VLANs the VLANS I had deleted were not showing up.  However, if you went to vNIC Templates and stayed clicked at the top level then went and looked at the templates in the window to the right.. they still showed up.  I deleted them there and voila...gone.

Hi,

Does this require a reboot of the server or ay be the complete POD/FI. ?
