SimpliVity plug-in connect to one fo the OVC instead of MVA

[adam900331]

Hy!

I have a 2 node SimpliVity environment (HPE DL380) and the SimpliVity federation show under the Management Information pane: "The HPE SimpliVity plug-in is in degraded management state."

The VMware verison is 7.0.3. The SimpliVity plug-in version is 4.1.3.16.

I think the plug-in should be connected to the MVA. How can I config the plug-in to connec to MVA?

This environment is our client. My SimpliŰVity environment connected to the MVA.

Thanks!

Adam

Hi,

Could you confirm if you are facing this issue after upgrading the OVC?

If the MVA is in degraded state, you will have to log a case with support to get it fixed, which may require removal and re-deployment of MVA, which is a non-destructive procedure.

Hello,

Are there any step-by-step to redeploy the MVA?

Thanks.

Hi,
You'll find the step-by-step documentation for deployment of MVA here at page 125: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=a00131388en_us

However, since you need to re-deploy, you will have to use command line to remove the MVA from the cluster first (dsv-mva-delete).
Steps to remove MVA:

sudo su

source /var/tmp/build/bin/appsetup

You can obtain the MVA id using command: dsv-mva-show 

To remove MVA: dsv-mva-delete --id <MVA id> --username <vCenter username>

In case you have upgraded the OVC but not the MVA, then you will have to upload the MVA tar file of the same version as OVC in /mva/deploy folder of each OVC in the cluster where MVA will be deployed.
