VSX Machine must be defined before creating a virtual system, virtual router or virtual switch

Hello,

 

I am working on simulating VSX on my VMware. I have already created a MGMT server and another VM for Virtual Gateway and have established SIC between them.

 

Now when I try to add a Virtual system from the Console, it prompts me with the attached error.

Can someone advice what am I missing ? I am looking to create two Virtual Systems in the VSX GW.

 

Thanks

SK

Ok, I would recommend to remove the gateway and reinstall it. That's looking fishy...

What choices did you make in the gateway object creation wizard?

HI Chris,

I was trying to refer few more additional configs and the play list seems to be moved/removed.

Could you pls share a link if its still alive ?

 

Thanks

As the hardware is shown as "Open Server", I think you haven't created a VSX gateway, but a normal one.

VSX gateways show hardware type as "VSX".

Thanks for your response and this is what I did.

1. Created a VM server for Gateway alone

2. From the management console, added the VM as Virtual Gateway. Established SIC.

3. Then tried creating VM system. But it wudnt .

Please show a screenshot of the menu item you used to create the gateway in SmartConsole.

Interesting, can you try to issue a "vsx stat" in Expert Mode or a "show vsx" in clish on the gateway itself to see what the gateway thinks it is?

Hi Norbert,

I am exactly doing that 🙂 . I am pretty sure it wasn't reading open server earlier...or may be I wasn't paying enough attention to that.

Let me redo and see how I go.

 

Thanks

And to close of this thread, yes reinstall did the trick. Though I fail to understand why it behaved the way it did.

Closing it and thank you for your time on this.

Much appreciated !
