hosts are not responding state/frozen state after upgrade from 5.5U3 to 6.5U2 on C240-M4S

shankrappa

Level 1

We recently upgraded esxi 5.5 U3 to esx 6.5 U2 with cisco customized image  on C240-M4S Server. We first upgrade cisco firmware from 2.0(6) to 4.0(1c) and then esxi host upgrade from 5.5 u3 to 6.5 U2.(Please find the attached text to know Driver and FW details before and after upgrade).

 

After upgrade, hosts are going not responding state/frozen state where in esxi hosts are reachable via PING over network, but unable to re-connect host back to vCenter.

 

During host not responding state ,we can login into putty with multiple session ,however we can’t see/run any commands (like, if df- h, to view logs under cat /var/log ) .When we ran df-h, hosts won’t display anything, gets struck until we close putty session and then can re-connect .

During host not responding state, vms continue to be running, but we can’t migrate those vms into another host and also we are unable to manage those vms via vCloud panel .

 

We have to reboot host to bring back host and then will connect to vcenter .

 

We working with Vmware and Cisco since from 3 weeks ,no resolution yet .

 

We can see lot of Valid sense data: 0x5 0x24 0x0 logs in vmkernel.logs and VMware suspect something with the LSI MegaRAID (MRAID12G) diver. So Vmware asked to contact hardware vendor to check hardware/firmware issues and LSI issues as well

Vendor: Cisco | Model: UCSC-MRAID12G | Is Local: true | Is SSD: false

 

Cisco did not see any issues with Server /hardware after analyzing Tech support logs and also we performed Cisco diagnostics test on few servers,all components tests/ checks looks good .Only one recommendation given by cisco is to change Power Management policy from balance to High Performance under esxi host->configure->Hardware->Power Mgmt->Active policy ->High Performance

 

Can someone help me to find cause/fix .

It sounds like the issue is specific to the management network if I am reading correctly, since the VMs are fine, but the host are not accessible in vCenter. Is that correct?

 

If the hosts can ping, it doesn't sound like a networking issue, but specific to ESXi OS.

 

Does this issue happen on all hosts at the same time or on random hosts? Did it start directly after the firmware upgrade or after the ESXi upgrade. 

 

Do your hosts boot from local disk or FC storage? LSI driver looks okay, but the qlogic looks to be on an earlier release. I would look towards correcting the FC driver at some point.

 

Per UCS HCL https://ucshcltool.cloudapps.cisco.com/public/

 

  • Firmware Version
    8.08.03
    Driver Version
    2.1.74.0-1OEM.600.0.0.2768847 qlnativefc 
    Adapter BIOS
    3.43
    Notes

You probably need to investigate the VMware vmkernel.log and hostd.log to understand what is causing the host to hang. If this was related to a hardware hang, I would expect to see something in the UCS SEL logs.

 

If you PM me your TAC SR, I can take a look and see if there are any further suggestions.

Thanks Wes for information .

                           Yes, VMs are running ,and host is also reachable via PING over network ,but host is not responding any inputs/command via Putty session.

 

Does this issue happen on all hosts at the same time or on random hosts? Did it start directly after the firmware upgrade or after the ESXi upgrade.

                          The issue started after host upgrade which we performed in two steps one after another that first we upgraded firmware of servers from 2.0(6) to 4.0(1c) and then upgraded ESXi 5.5 u3 to 6.5U2 using Cisco customized Image .

The issue occurred randomly and on 6 hosts, out of 12 hosts .

 

Do your hosts boot from local disk or FC storage? LSI driver looks okay, but the qlogic looks to be on an earlier release. I would look towards correcting the FC driver at some point.

                         Hosts boots from Local Disk. As mentioned in text file, we have QLE2672 QLogic 2-port 16Gb Fibre Channel Adapter for QLE2672 ,running with FC Firmware Version: 8.03.06 (d0d5), Driver version 2.1.53.0

 

You probably need to investigate the VMware vmkernel.log and hostd.log to understand what is causing the host to hang. If this was related to a hardware hang, I would expect to see something in the UCS SEL logs.

                                 The hosts completely hang after this until the reboot and this is could be shown in the following analysis

This command failed 1904 times on "naa.678da6e715bad3f01db8fff50c7431f0"

I took a quick look at the logs and don't see any problems on the UCS. I see a lot of these indicating a reboot from the OS:

 

 BIOS | System Event #0x83 | OEM System Boot Event | Asserted

Your storage controller logs look fine, I wouldnt expect anything to do with LSI or local storage.

 

If the VM continue to run, there is a process in VMware that is having an issue. If there was a problem on the hardware, I would expect it to freeze all the VM as well.

 

I would work with VMware to set up logging or monitoring or a way you can see if something is causing problems on the ESXi side. Otherwise, you may rollback to 6.5 U1 or a different release and see if the issue persist.

 

You keep saying "the host is completely hung" but if it was hung, how would VM still function? Can you access the host via KVM in CIMC?

 

Your vmkernel logs have a lot of these? Any comment from VMware?

You keep saying "the host is completely hung" but if it was hung, how would VM still function? Can you access the host via KVM in CIMC?

                        The Hypervisor agent on sever will be hung ,however we can see vpxa and hostd agents are running on esxi host and as also can login into host via putty with multiple session ,but unable to view any logs from esxi hosts (like to to view vmkernel logs ,df –h ,etc)  . Y

Yes, we can access server via KVM/CIMC and also can login  esxi host via CIMC .As Vms are resides on shared storage, so vms are continued to be running .

 

Your vmkernel logs have a lot of these? Any comment from VMware? Probably no,

 

Thanks for your info

We  founded bug in Cisco (https://quickview.cloudapps.cisco.com/quickview/bug/CSCuw38385) which indicates that if is happening large number of times this might cause unresponsive hosts with the following conditions, But Cisco said that the given bug is not aplies to current FW version of HW, 

Server: C240-M4SX or C240-M4S.

OS: ESXI 5.5 and 6.0.

RAID Controller: Cisco 12G SAS Modular Raid Controller

This bug impacts older firmware, older ESXi version and has been terminated from the Cisco side, meaning there was not enough information to conclude anything.

We have been still working with Vendor Cisco and Vmware, still no resolution /cause of the issue .

 

However we did some  below changes to fix the issue as Local disk drive causing the issue to hosts to be non-responsive state as per Vmware Analysis.,As VMware suspecting that there is an issue either with the boot disk or with the lsi_mr3 driver| firmware, but Cisco did not find any  issues/errors with HDD or Firmware version though verifying CIMC Logs

And also we performed below remediation’s  to identify and fix the issue

 

We configured scratch partition  to store logs on dedicated LUN for further analysis .

We upgraded HDD firmware of Seagate  from 0003/0004 to A005 firmware version (ESXi hosts are cisco C240-M4s )

 

Even after upgrade of HDD Firmware, still having issues, then we ordered new disks of Seagate and replaced all old disks to new Seagate HDD with FW N0B1.

 

But still we are facing issues with host not responding state .

 

During host not responding state ,I tried to aa=analysis logs from scratch partition ,I found that local disk drive I/O error

please can some help if you find any clue /resolution

 

Hey there, out of curiosity, were you able get any resolution to this? We have B200 M4 blades using the LSI megaraid drivers, and are seeing the same issues. We have ESXi 6.5 U2 installed on our local SCSi drives, and randomly the hosts will disconnect. The only solution is to restart ESXi. Both Cisco and VMware have pointed the fingers at each other. We saw this issue on ESXi 6.0, and VMware told us to upgrade, so we went to 6.5, but didn't see a resolution to this issue.

Please provide me the following information:
Server Model:
UCSM firmware:

Hey Josh,

 

I never received a PSOD. The symptoms I am seeing is that hosts were disconnecting and showing unresponsive, but the VMs continue to run. The only way to get it to reconnect is to reset the host and kill the VMs running on it. Here is the items you are asking for:

These hosts are B200 M4 hosts, and I did find this bug in the library: CSCut37134. It sounds very similar to the issues we were seeing. We went ahead and removed the VIBs that is recommended, and it is now loading the megaraid_sas driver upon reboot. I am hoping that resolves our issues now. 

 

After following the work around:

 

esxcfg-scsidevs -a
vmhba0 megaraid_sas link-n/a unknown.vmhba0 (0000:01:00.0) Avago (LSI / Symbios Logic) MegaRAID SAS

Has anyone found a resolution to this error, other than restarting the host? I have the same issue at two customers, both running Cisco UCS B200 M4.

 

Have you opened a TAC case to investigate? This problem is fairly generic and you might not be facing the exact same issue outlined in this post.

Hey there michael.hedberg@atea.se,

 

I can confirm I was being affected by this bug: https://quickview.cloudapps.cisco.com/quickview/bug/CSCut37134.

 

Ever since I performed the steps posted in the bulletin, I have not had my hosts disconnect. I was being affected every couple of months, and have not had this happen since I performed the steps in the link. You sound like you have a similar situation as me.

 

Great, thanks :)
