Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x

Cause

Starting with vSphere 8.0, in both Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) and HP Integrated Lights Out (ILO), when you have an USB interface enabled, vUSB or vNIC respectively, an additional standard switch vSwitchBMC with uplink vusb0 gets created on the ESXi host

 

Resolution

1. SSH into each host.

2. Disable the vSwitchBMC.

esxcfg-advcfg -s 0 /Net/BMCNetworkEnable

3. Reboot the host.

4. Verify the configuration change has persisted. 

esxcfg-advcfg -g /Net/BMCNetworkEnable

example output: Value of BMCNetworkEnable is 0

5. After disabling the BMC network on all hosts retry the workflow from SDDC.
