Workaround:
Complete all of the following. If one set of steps resolves the issue, you may skip the other remaining steps.
VMware Tools
Ensure Windows OS Guests or Virtual Machines with a Windows OS are running guest VMware Tools version 10.3.2 (10338) or later.
Note: The vCenter VM summary page will show the Guest Tools version if you click
More info.
VMware vSphere Adapter Credentials
Ensure the vRealize Operations Manager VMware vSphere adapter credentials have the
Performance >
Modify intervals privilege enabled in the target vCenter(s). See
Minimum Collection User Permissions in vRealize Operations Manager 6.x and later for more information.
Note: The adapter credentials in use can be reviewed or modified in vRealize Operations Manager by clicking
Configure on the
VMware vSphere solutions under
Administration >
Solutions.
Once the credentials have been corrected, complete the following:
- Log into the vRealize Operations Manager UI as an administrator.
- Navigate to Administration > Solutions.
- Select VMware vSphere.
- Under Configured Adapter Instances, select an adapter instance and click Stop Collecting.
- Once the adapter instance has stopped, click Start Collecting.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 on all other desired adapter instances.
vSphere Hosts Metrics
Disconnect and reconnect the parent hosts from vCenter
- Log into the vCenter Server UI as an Administrator.
- Ensure each host to be reconnected has at least one Virtual Machine deployed with minimum VMware Guest Tools versions of 9.10.5 for Linux or 10.3.2 for Windows.
- Under Navigator, select the desired host and right-click it.
- Select Connection > Disconnect, and click Yes at the prompt.
- Once the host has been disconnected, right-click the same host under Navigator.
- Select Connection > Connect, and click Yes at the prompt.
- Repeat steps 1-6 for all other needed hosts.
Virtual machine guest metrics will start collecting in vRealize Operations Manager within a few collection cycles.
Note: Disconnecting a managed host does not remove it from vCenter Server; it temporarily suspends all monitoring activities that vCenter Server performs. The managed host and its associated virtual machines remain in the vCenter Server inventory.
