Adding an uplink to VDS fails with an error "Call "HostNetworkSystem.UpdateNetworkConfig" failed
Hi,
I was just working on VDS and found out that while adding an additional Uplink to the existing VDS failed with the following error.
The environment consists of ESXi/VC 5.5 U2 and I have tried configuring the same using the vSphere client and also the Web Client and getting the same error using both methods. ESXi using Cisco UCS B-200 M3.
"Call "HostNetworkSystem.UpdateNetworkConfig" for object "networkSystem-416016" on vCenter Server "esxhostname" failed"
Now I tried finding out the KB site of VMware and found out only few KBs related to the same error.
First one is KB 2081478 which I worked on at some time and mostly talks about the IBM 3650 M2 or M3 servers and the other one is KB 2013558 which is discussing the issue when migrating the vmkernel interface to VDS fails. My issue was not following in either of the categories.
So I started looking in to the issue further from VDS perspective and found out that the existing VDS is using two uplinks and I was trying to add 3rd uplink.
I looked at the properties of the VDS by going into Home -> Inventory -> Networking and right click the VDS in question and hit Edit Settings and I saw the following.
As you can see the configured number of uplink ports are only 2 and I cant add more than that.
Now this simply very obvious that there are lot of factors / situations which can play the part here e.g. You forgot what you have setup initially when you built the environment for the first time or you are working on a pre-configured environment by someone else and you never know such configuration was done by whom and how long ago or there is no documentation available for such configuration.
Either of the cases will lead back to the troubleshooting process which was just to find out where things are wrong based on the error. But at the same time as the error itself if not do descriptive, you are in hands of your own knowledge and experience for the product or you need to engage the Support.
By now you might have already figured out the resolution, which was nothing else but just to increase the number of dvuplinks for that VDS. Once I increased to 3 I was able to add the 3rd pNIC as an uplink to that VDS.
Hopefully this will help to the readers.
Please share and care.
Cheers !!

Recommendation on Linkedin - Yes, I need it !
Hi All,
I never thought about this before to write a blog post of about requesting the community members and friends and others who are in touch with me one or the other way, to provide recommendation to me through Linkedin. Now a days Social media is the way to reach out to mass and seems to be very effective too.
After serving 8 years at VMware, now I am in a position where I am searching for a new challenge so at the same time feeling necessity about having Recommendation of my Work done in that duration.
If my contribution / reply / update / pointers helped you in any way or at least put you in the direction you want, then please just take few minutes to provide a Recommendation as its very valuable for me a lot. I would say it will be priceless.
As everyone knows Linkedin is the platform for all professionals to be in touch with each other and this is a most respective way in our professional world where one can find out everything about other person in this very space.
I have provided recommendations to those who needs them time to time and never thought of the need at that time but now I am in the same boat as them. Time is same for everyone and you never know when it will change. As it changed for me, I humbly request to provide the same at your earliest convenience and me and my Family are truly grateful to you for your time and help.
So please feel free to reach out to me if you need the same and I am happy to provide it as well.
This is a general stand I am taking to get the recommendation as it will take lot of time to reach out to people individually (in fact I am doing that too) but as the person might be busy or not checking his linkedin, the message may be sitting there idle. I have seen few messages like that in my inbox which I just acted and agreed that they were requested by the person/s almost a year back. Now providing the recommendation at present, may or may not help as it was not done on time (may be they need at that time) and I have provided today. So please check your inbox for such message and at least let the person know the status about it. Going forward, I will be taking care of it for sure as now realized the importance of it. As everyone has their own priorities to do things so please dont take this as any advice or such. but consider it as a general thought of a person who is in need at the moment.
If you are not in my circle then just send out the request on my way and my doors are open.
If you see any request from me about the recommendation then once again, just requesting few minutes of your busy schedule to provide it.
Community is all about help and hence this blog post.
Hope you will help and also spread the message to others.
Thanks for your time and help
Please share and care !
Wish me luck !
