VMware vCenter Services report warning "vc.health.error.dbjob3" on VAMI

Products

• VMware vCenter Server 8.0

Issue/Introduction

vc.health.error.dbjob3 warning appears in the vSphere Client or the Virtual Appliance Management Interface (VAMI).

 

Cause

The warning occurs when certain historical statistics data on the vCenter fail to roll up for over 72 hours. 

Resolution

Note - Take a snapshot of the vCenter Server. If the vCenter Server is a member of an Enhanced Linked Mode (ELM) replication setup, please keep in mind that you need to create offline snapshots (in powered off state) for all ELM nodes.

To address the issue, clear old tasks, events, and statistics data that are no longer relevant, following the steps outlined in the KB - Delete old tasks, events, and statistics data in vCenter Server 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, and 8.x.

 

Additional Information

In some cases, wait for about 48-72 hours for the next rollup job to be completed. This should automatically resolve the issue.
