8.0U2 build 22380479 - VIB installation fails #308

Closed omniproc closed 7 months ago

omniproc commented 7 months ago

So, with 8.0 the new packageing using ar seems to produce a working vib. Trying to install the same vib on 8.0U2 build 22380479 however this results in a InstallationError. It should be supported looking at https://github.com/lamw/ghettoVCB/pull/305 thought.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Download and install ESXi 8.0U2 build 22380479
  2. Do not connect the ESXi to a vCenter, do not otherwise change any of the default config besides enableing SSH.
  3. Upload the 2023_09_29 release of ghettoVCB to /tmp/ on the ESXi
  4. Run esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/vghetto-ghettoVCB.vib -f

Expected behaviour:

Installation Result Message: Operation finished successfully. Reboot Required: false VIBs Installed: virtuallyGhetto_bootbank_ghettoVCB_1.0.0-0.0.0 VIBs Removed: VIBs Skipped:

Actual behaviour:

[InstallationError] Can not open /var/vmware/lifecycle/stageliveimage/data/payload1.t00 to write payload payload1: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/vmware/lifecycle/stageliveimage/data/payload1.t00' cause = Can not open /var/vmware/lifecycle/stageliveimage/data/payload1.t00 to write payload payload1: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/vmware/lifecycle/stageliveimage/data/payload1.t00' vibs = ['virtuallyGhetto_bootbank_ghettoVCB_1.0.0-0.0.0'] Please refer to the log file for more details.

Looking at the /var/log/hostd.log i think this is related to the new lifecycle manager.

Okay after testing this on multiple different ESXi 8.x versions I found the root cause: not enough memory available on ESXi. Seems like installing a VIB allocates quite alot of memory for a temp. RAMDISK. I've been testing on different ESXi 8.0 versions running ESXi in vmware workstation locally for testing, with 4 GB of memory this resulted in:

After increasing the memory of the ESXi to 6GB the vib could be installed. Leaving this here for anyone to stumble into the same issue. Closing.
