In vSphere 6.7U1 I could not update my ESXi-Hosts in my cluster because the new Remediation Pre-Check fails with the following error: “DRS should be enabled”
It also has a big red banner:
“Pre-check found problems that will block remediation. See details below. The blocking problems may have caused the pre-check to complete prematurely. Therefore, after fixing the problems, please re-run this pre-check.”
So Host remediation is blocked with error message: “Pre-check has found 2 issues that will block remediation”
Here are my work arrounds so far that I also posted on the relevant spiceworks thread:
1: use the old flex/flash-client. There is no pre-check
2: remove the esxi server from the cluster (just drag&drop the the server in question from the cluster to the datacenter). Outside of the cluster there is no DRS, so the pre-check works and update is not blocked anymore
But I think the second is the easiest way to do it.
I also opened a support request with VMware. I will keep you updated.
Getting same error, any update from GSS?
Problem is acknowledged and they said that it will be addressed in one of the next patches. Until than my workarrounds are the ones to go.
