Hello,
I have VCSA 6.5 running on my infrastructure. Esxi hosts are also running version 6.5, all enterprise license. I want to enable FT on some VMs, and I was able to do them without any issues, just a warning came that the network is not sufficient enough for FT logging even though I am using 2x 10 GB/s on a cisco switch in teaming.
However I cannot enable FT on the VCSA VM itself. When I try to turn on a alert shows that FT cannot be enabled on VM which has CPU Hotplug enabled. So I turned down the vcsa and from the esxi unchecked CPU Hot-plug and reboot the VCSA. Now again trying to enable FT, the same warning is coming. This time I checked the VM settings from the vcenter itself and found there is another option called CPU hot-remove, and I cannot uncheck that since the VM (VCSA) is still powered on. Even I cannot power it down otherwise since this setting changes must be made on vcenter, then where will vcenter come if it is down already.
So I need to know is there any way to uncheck cpu hot-remove from the VCSA's VM settings so that I can enable FT? or FT is not possible on the VCSA itself?
