Reconfigure HA: operation timed out

Hi, I am using ESXi 6.0
I just upgraded VMware vCenter Server Applianceto 6.0.0.30300
My cluster has 7 nodes, 2 of them are reporting issue with HA.
I tried to put one host in "maintenance mode", reboot, and "Reconfigure for HA", but operation fails with "operation timed out".
What can I do?
Thank you very much

Check logs on host.

Check space on host OS installation, is this flash drive ? is this full ?

you may need to un-install ha vib, and re-install

Hi Andrew,

I have no space issue. I tried to install upgrade on affected host, and I encountered several problems, solved one by one by VMware KBs.
Now I am stuck with:

"The host returns esxupdate error code:15"

I already did steps suggested in :

https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2030665


Those are my error:

okay, so I'm a little confused, how did you get on with HA Agent  ?

so this has occurred since a host upgrade ?
Hi, after VCSA upgrade, I got HA issues on 2 hosts (total cluster: 7).
I tried to "reconfigure HA" without success.
So, I just tried to put in maintenance mode 1 host and tried installing updates through VUM.
I am unable to complete this step..

Thank you very much
I have no space issue. I tried to install upgrade on affected host, and I encountered several problems,

Have you checked and logged into host at console or SSH and checked ? The upgrade states file too large ?

Okay, yes this is normal because the VCSA wants to push a new HA Agent onto the hosts ?

and if using OEM ESXi, this can be the issue because the ESXi OS partition is out of space.

Are you hosts flash , e.g. SD or USB flash drives?

have you checked the space on the ESXi OS partitions, using df or vdf ?
Hi Andrew,

this is command's output:

what does the FDM log state ?

can you see the vib being pushed to the host from the server, you can see it with WinSCP or SSH

have you tried removing the existing HA vib if present ? (vmware_f.v00)
Hi, my fdm.log file is empty.
I tried "Remediate" action from vSphere client, and I saw in realtime log through ssh.
I attach to complete esxupdate.log file.

How can I remove HA vib, as you suggested?
esxupdate.txt
Please don't update your host, this will not cause the issue to go away.....

if you cannot push the HA Agent out to your host, something is WRONG with the host file system, or space.

when you push the HA Agent (e.g. reconfigure HA from vSphere) do you see it appear on host ?
Hi Andrew,
the affected host is in maintenance mode. It seems I have no option to "Reconfigure HA" through vSphere.
Do you think I can leave maintenance mode or is it risky?
Thank you

Hi, I removed host from maintenance mode, and I noticed this:

Strange, it seems I have no space issue..
According to "file too large" error, I reconfigured ScratchConfig path (and I am sure that there is enough space on it).
After reboot, I saw this in logs:

Hi Andrew,
yes.
I tried this way:

https://communities.vmware.com/thread/545379

since I noticed that, in fact, vmware_f.v00 file was missing on affected host.
Anyway, same error:

I noticed that "imgdb.tgz" file in /bootbank had wrong size:

I copied it from another host, and I reboot.. I will update you shortly
Ok, finally remediation went fine.
I think the "corrupted" imgdb.tgz was the root cause.
Anyway, I tried "reconfigure with HA" and I still get "operation timeout" error!
can you see the package deployed to host ?

or rebuild host, and /or remove unused OEM drivers ESXi is not using.
