https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleNumber=386526

Issue/Introduction

The LCMVIDM74065 error occurs within Aria Suite Lifecycle when managing VMware Identity Manager (VIDM). This error can manifest during certificate replacement attempts or when powering on VIDM appliances.

Error: Error Code: LCMVIDM74065
Unable to update the node types in vIDM cluster. Refer to VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle logs for additional details.
com.vmware.vrealize.lcm.vidm.common.exception.VidmClusterMasterNotFoundException: Choose one of the node to be considered as a master - .

Environment

VMware Identity Manager 3.3.7

Aria Suite Lifecycle 8.18

Cause

  1. Certificate Replacement Issue:
    • The certificate replacement fails because the VMware Identity Manager certificate has already expired and the Load Balancer certificate has not been updated.
  2. Power-On Task Failure:
    • The issue occurs when any of the VMware Identity Manager appliances enters quarantine mode, which can happen as a result of a network outage.

Resolution

  1. For Certificate Replacement Issue:
  • Step 1: Update the load balancer certificate.
  • Step 2: After updating the Load Balancer certificate, attempt to replace the VMware Identity Manager certificate from Aria Suite Lifecycle (LCM).
  • This should resolve the certificate replacement issue, allowing the process to complete successfully.
  1. For Power-On Task Failure:
  • Step 1: Resolve the Quarantine issue affecting the VMware Identity Manager appliance by following the instruction in the KB Pgpool commands that are not working in one node of VIDM
  • Step 2: Once the quarantine issue is resolved, retry the power-on task for VMware Identity Manager from Aria Suite Lifecycle (LCM).

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.
