Error executing Hpe-vm Manager

Edgar3 — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 18:58:57 GMT

I'm unable to complete the Manager's configuration; the logs don't go beyond what's shown below. It reaches 99% and then stops there.

Hi @Edgar3
Could you please check if your Manager name is resolvable ?
#nslookup my.dominio.local
// Also try to check following details.
#virsh list <== Check if the Manager VM is running
#ping my.dominio.local <== Check if the Manager's IP is accessible, if it is running

Based on the above results, we can check further on this.

Thanks

When executing virsh list --all, the tests with ping and nslookup show the state as 'shut off'. The DNS name resolution and ping are successful

Re: Error executing Hpe-vm Manager

Are you sure, the ping is successful ?
When the VM is in shut-off state, I would not expect ping for the manager VM should be happening.
Anyway kindly start the VM manually and see what exact error being reported?
#virsh start VMEMANAGER_NAME
Provide the below outputs as well
#virsh list --all
#virsh net-list --all
#ovs-vsctl show
#ip a
#cat /etc/netplan/*.yaml

Hi @Edgar3

Thank you so much for providing the requested output. It is clear that, we have network issue here. The Management bridge is not created correctly and I see multiple VMs are being created ( seems you have tried with different name everytime).

I would recomend to clean it and try freshly.

1. Make sure, you mount the HPE Morpheus VM Essential Software ISO file ( example: /mnt/iso )

2. Clean the existing VME setup
#for vm in `virsh list --all --name`; do virsh destroy $vm; done
#for vm in `virsh list --all --name`; do virsh undefine $vm; done
#for vm in `virsh net-list --all --name`; do virsh net-destroy $vm; done
#for vm in `virsh net-list --all --name`; do virsh net-undefine $vm; done
#/opt/hpe-vm/scripts/reset_host.sh

3. Install HPE Morpheus VM Essential Console ( from mounted ISO image)
#cd /mnt/iso
#apt install -y -f ./hpe-vm_1.0.X-1_amd64.deb <== This is just an example. Kindly use the correct file. OR replace the X with actual version number

4. Now deploy the VM Essential manager VM
#hpe-vm

// Make sure, you use the unique and correct IP for this VM ( which is in same subnet of 192.168.0.XX) and mention eno4 in Management network section. And IP must be resolvable.

Please let me know, how this goes ?

Thanks

Thank you for the information provided. I have a question regarding the IP configuration. In the Manager's configurator, should I enter the IP address that the Ubuntu server currently has, or should it be a free IP address for the VM that will be created?

Re: Error executing Hpe-vm Manager

By clearing the configuration and correctly pointing the IP to the host, it was resolved. Thank you for your support and the information provided

Hi, I'm having the same problem as you. What IP address did you end up entering in VME Manager? The same one as your Ubuntu server, or a free one on the same segment?

Re: Error executing Hpe-vm Manager

@pkbin,

That was precisely part of my mistake; in the end, I understood that a different IP address must be set in the VM Essentials administrator than the one I had set on the Ubuntu server. In other words, they must be two distinct IP addresses.
