Resolution

This is a known issue affecting VxRack SDDC or VxRail with VMware Cloud Foundation 2.3.x. Currently there is no resolution.

Workaround

Follow the workaround below to resume imaging of the node:

Restart the iDRAC on the node whose imaging was failed. Refer to server documentation for detailed instructions.

Login to the host through the web-based host client at https://<host IP>. Login as root with the password EvoSddc!2016.

Select Manage and then click on the Services tab.  Right-click the ptagent service and select Restart.

Make sure that both vxrail-platform-service & vxrail-platform-service-util services are running on the node.

In the VIA UI, click the Resume button if imaging does not automatically resume.
