Cluster Check: Powering on VMs failed | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content
Hi there,



I'm trying to use X-RAY for our purpose and I faced an error without more logs/messages than: "A timeout occurred waiting for VM(s) in VM Group 'Cluster Check' to become responsive within 120 seconds."



I configured both vNIC of the X-RAY VM:


  1. eth0: for communication with the API
  2. eth1: for communication with VMs workload

eth1 is configured with a specific subnet (I didn't find too much documentation for zero configuration).

On my Nutanix cluster, I added this specific network and let it to give addresses to VMs deployed by X-RAY (98 IPs available in this subnet)



During the cluster check, 4 VMs are deployed, powered up and IPs are assigned. The X-RAY VM can communicate with these 4 VMs.



The problem is for the last one, the 5th VM doesn't start and the cluster check fail.





Do you have any idea? Is there some more details in a specific logs?



Thanks for your help

Cheers,



RĂ©mi

After investigation, it seems the DHCP server cannot deliver an IP address to the last VM.I deleted the vNIC of the failed VM and after re-created the vNIC on the same network, the DHCP server allocated an IP address and the VM is nos reachable.

I close my ticket as this is not an error of X-RAY
