 LCMVRAVACONFIG590069 Error Code When Attempting to Shutdown Aria Automation Appliance from LCM

https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleNumber=377380

Products

VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

When attempting to shutdown your Aria Automation appliance through LCM, you receive error LCMVRAVACONFIG590069 

Environment

Aria Automation 8.x

Aria Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.16.x

Cause

  • This issue could be related to many things and to get a better idea, investigate the logs under /var/log/deploy.log 

Resolution

  • Verify the root account isn't locked out by opening an SSH to all the vRA nodes. 
  • If you are able to root into all the vRA nodes, check for failed login attempts and if the account is locked via command:
    • pam_tally2 -u root
    • If there are failed attempts clear them with pam_tally2 -u root --reset
  • Check to make sure the proper root password is configured in Locker
  • Start by performing a health check of the vRA appliance. 
    • Check the status of the namespaces: kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
    • Check the status of the prelude namespace: kubectl get pods -n prelude
  • Check to see if LCM can perform an inventory sync on the vRA environment
  • Perform a health check of the appliance via kb 326114
  • If all checks out, perform a manual start/stop operation of the vRA appliance by following VMware doc: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Aria-Automation/8.12/Administering-VMware-Aria-Automation/GUID-99D06124-13F8-489A-B43C-EAEC3F4FE582.html

Step-by-Step Explanation of Ballooning, Compression & Swapping in VMware

 🔹 Step-by-Step Explanation of Ballooning, Compression & Swapping in VMware ⸻ 1️⃣ Memory Ballooning (vmmemctl) Ballooning is the first memory reclamation technique used when ESXi detects memory pressure. ➤ Step-by-Step: How Ballooning Works  1. VMware Tools installs the balloon driver (vmmemctl) inside the guest OS.  2. ESXi detects low free memory on the host.  3. ESXi inflates the balloon in selected VMs.  4. Balloon driver occupies guest memory, making the OS think RAM is full.  5. Guest OS frees idle / unused pages (because it believes memory is needed).  6. ESXi reclaims those freed pages and makes them available to other VMs. Why Ballooning Happens?  • Host free memory is very low.  • ESXi wants the VM to release unused pages before resorting to swapping. Example  • Host memory: 64 GB  • VMs used: 62 GB  • Free: 2 GB → ESXi triggers ballooning  • VM1 (8 GB RAM): Balloon inflates to 2 GB → OS frees 2 GB → ESXi re...

Quick Guide to VCF Automation for VCD Administrators

  Quick Guide to VCF Automation for VCD Administrators VMware Cloud Foundation 9 (VCF 9) has been  released  and with it comes brand new Cloud Management Platform –  VCF Automation (VCFA)  which supercedes both Aria Automation and VMware Cloud Director (VCD). This blog post is intended for those people that know VCD quite well and want to understand how is VCFA similar or different to help them quickly orient in the new direction. It should be emphasized that VCFA is a new solution and not just rebranding of an old one. However it reuses a lot of components from its predecessors. The provider part of VCFA called Tenenat Manager is based on VCD code and the UI and APIs will be familiar to VCD admins, while the tenant part inherist a lot from Aria Automation and especially for VCD end-users will look brand new. Deployment and Architecture VCFA is generaly deployed from VCF Operations Fleet Management (former Aria Suite LCM embeded in VCF Ops. Fleet Management...

ESXi Host Troubleshooting Checklist

  🛠️ ESXi Host Troubleshooting Checklist (With Complete Log Locations) ✅ 1. Host Status & Connectivity Check host state in vCenter (Connected / Not Responding / Disconnected) Review CPU, RAM, and datastore usage Validate HA/DRS recommendations ✅ 2. Hardware Health Monitor hardware sensors (CPU, DIMMs, fans, PSU, RAID) Check RAID controller logs via vendor tools View hardware status in: vCenter → Monitor → Hardware Health DCUI → Hardware Status ✅ 3. Network Validation Verify vSwitches, Port Groups, NIC teaming, VLAN tagging Check vmkernel ports (mgmt, vMotion, iSCSI, vSAN) Test reachability using: Shell vmkping < IP > Show more lines Validate physical NIC status and link speed ✅ 4. Storage & Datastore Checks Confirm datastore accessibility Rescan storage adapters (iSCSI/FC/NFS) Validate multipathing (Round Robin / Fixed / MRU) Check datastore latency with esxtop ✅ **5. Critical Logs & Their Locations (Full List) Here are key ESXi log files that every VMware adm...
