2019-05-17 12:32:54 UTC  Minor  VMHost RE 0 Disk 1 Size Incorrect

This minor alarm appears when the size of the disks [Disk 0 and Disk 1] present in the Routing Engine is not appropriate for the platform.

Solution

In the Minor alarm 'VMHost RE x Disk y Size Incorrect', x–0 for RE0 and 1 for RE1, y–1 for disk 1 and 2 for disk 2.

To clear the alarm, insert a disk of the right size and reboot the Routing Engine with the help of the below command.

request vmhost reboot

Then perform a Disk Recovery using the VM Host Snapshot after performing the reboot:

If the state of the primary disk (disk1) is good and the backup disk (disk2) has to be recovered then use the  request vmhost snapshot  command to recover the backup disk assuming the Routing Engine is booted from the primary disk. If the state of the secondary disk is not known or the file systems in the disk are not in a consistent state, then include partition option in the command i.e.   request vmhost snapshot partition .

If the state of the backup disk (disk2) is good and the primary disk (disk1) has to be recovered then use the   request vmhost snapshot recovery  command to recover the primary disk assuming the Routing Engine is booted from the backup disk. If the state of the primary disk is not known or the partition tables are in bad condition, then include partition option in the command i.e.  request vmhost snapshot recovery partition .

To boot from the desired disk, execute the command: request vmhost reboot {disk1, disk2}

In case the issue persists after the above steps, contact  JTAC Support for further investigation.
