This message is displayed if the network redundancy configuration within the Service Console/VMkernel Port Management Network is incorrect. This message can be safely ignored.
To prevent this message from appearing, and to comply with proper network redundancy, VMware recommends to add a second vmnic to the service console or management network vSwitch configured with NIC teaming, and that you keep both as active adapters, or place one in standby. For more information, see NIC teaming in ESXi and ESX (1004088).
Alternatively, you can add a second service console on a different vSwitch and subnet.<o></o> To suppress this message on ESXi and ESX hosts in the vSphere High Availability (HA) cluster, or if the warning appears for a host already configured in a cluster, set the VMware HA advanced option das.ignoreRedundantNetWarning
to true
and reconfigure VMware HA on that host.
If the warning appears even when there are two available uplinks for the vSwitch hosting the Service Console/VMkernel Port Management Network, providing a redundancy, see ESX/ESXi host displays warning message when test condition is false (2008602).
Note: If the warning continues to appear, disable and re-enable VMware High Availability in the cluster.
