Hi, I am unable to login to the HCIBench controller VM. I have tried re-creating the VM and I am using the correct password but login fails.

I tried re-creating the VM with a different password this time and it worked.

Hi,
I use HCIBench 2.6.1 on our VMC on AWS SDDC 1.20.
The hci-vdb-datastore* VMs tries to PXE boot and then comes with the message Operating system not found.

Does HCI Bench 2.6.1 support SDDC 1.20 vSphere8 environments?

I replaced the file in HCIBench /opt/automation/lib/rvc-util.rb with https://github.com/vsphere-tmm/HCIBench/blob/master/rvc_rvc/lib/rvc/modules/vsantest/automation/lib/rvc-util.rb.

please ensure HCIBench can talk to all the esxi hosts via port 443.

Thanks for the reply.
I was able to confirm that it works by allowing firewalls on the connection to esxi and setting it to Non-DHCP.

Could some one help me out with this problem. The vCenter contains 2 clusters.

Thanks for you help,

whats your vsphere version? can you send all the logs in /opt/automation/logs to vsanperformance@vmware.com?

Hi wise ones,

could you please verify if the current HCI Bench Release is affected by CVE-2021-40438 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-40438)?

As this CVE is rated as critical (Base Score 9 out of 10) it seems to be a good idea to offer an updated or fixed version.

Kind regards,

Ralf

yeah we will get that fixed.
