Troubleshooting Consolidation
The topics in this section contain information about identifying and solving problems with Guided
Consolidation.
Negative Impact on vCenter Server Performance
Analyzing many systems simultaneously can impact vCenter Server performance.
Problem
Although up to 100 systems can be simultaneously analyzed, you might notice performance issues on the
vCenter Server that are due to running Guided Consolidation.
Cause
Analysis is resource intensive and can negatively impact vCenter Server performance.
Solution
Reduce the number of systems that are being analyzed. If necessary, you can either disable Guided
Consolidation or uninstall the Guided Consolidation Service. If you disable Guided Consolidation, collected
data is preserved and no further data is collected. If you uninstall the Guided Consolidation Service, the data
that has been collected will no longer be usable.
Windows Systems Not Discovered
Guided Consolidation does not discover some Windows systems.
Problem
Windows systems that match all of the following conditions will not be discovered by Guided Consolidation
and will not be listed as candidates for analysis:
n
The system is not listed in Microsoft Windows Network. The following commands do not list the system:
NET VIEW
NET VIEW /DOMAIN:<the Workgroup or Domain the system belongs to>
n
The system is listed in Active Directory but does not have the
operatingSystem
attribute defined. This can
happen if the system never synchronizes with the Active Directory to which it belongs or was improperly
configured.
Solution
n
Enable the Computer Browser service on the machine where Guided Consolidation is installed and on
the systems that are not discovered.
n
Ensure that the Log On As credentials for VMware vCenter Collector Provider Service met the
prerequisites as mentioned in
“Consolidation Prerequisites,”
on page 88.
n
Manually enter the static IP address of the target system.
