vRNI 3.5 might raise false alarm "NSX VIB or host module not detected on host"

Products

• VMware Aria Operations for Networks

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

In vRNI 3.5, you may receive alarm similar to:

NSX VIB or host module not detected on host

Environment

VMware vRealize Network Insight 3.x

Cause

In NSX 6.3.3, NSX VIB names are changed on ESXi 6.0 and later. VIB names on ESXi 5.5 remain the same.

 

Old Name	New name
Vsip	nsx-vsip
vdl2	nsx-vdl2
vdrb	nsx-vdrb
dvfilter-switch-security	nsx-dvfilter-switch-security
esx-vxlan	esx-nsxv
esx-vsip	esx-nsxv

Due to this, vRNI 3.5 triggers the NSX VIB or host module not detected on host alarm as vRNI searches for older VIB names.

 

For more information, see the VMware NSX for vSphere 6.3.3 Release Notes.

Resolution

Currently, there is no resolution.

 

VMware is working to resolve this in future release.

 

To work around this issue, ignore these alarms and archive the alarms generated for NSX VIB or host module not detected on host.
