Issue/Introduction

When trying to scale out the number of nodes in Aria Operations for Network using Lifecycle Manager, an error is reported with code: LCMVRNICONFIG90061.

Environment

VMware Aria LifeCycle Manager 8.x

 

Cause

Primary or secondary disk sizes on the existing platform node VMs were manually increased. This modification is unsupported and resulted in a disk size mismatch between the existing and newly deployed VMs, ultimately causing the cluster expansion to fail.

Resolution

Redeploy of the AON cluster via LCM and expand cluster as there is no option to customize or select the required disk size during the deployment of new VM. LCM automatically provisions disk space based on the selected brick size.
