Host <xxx> currently has no management network redundancy
I found this article in the VMWare KB:
Network redundancy message when configuring VMware High Availability in vCenter Server (1004700)
Symptoms
When configuring the VMware High Availability (HA)
in a vCenter Server, you see the message:
Host <xxx> currently has no management network redundancy
Host <xxx> currently has no management network redundancy
Cause
This message is displayed if the network redundancy configuration within theService Console/VMkernel Port Management Network is incorrect. This message can be safely ignored.Resolution
To prevent this
message from appearing, and to comply with proper network redundancy, VMware
recommends that you add a second vmnic to the service console or management
network vSwitch configured with NIC teaming, and that you keep both as active
adapters, or place one in standby. For more information, see NIC
teaming in ESXi and ESX (1004088).
Alternatively, you can add a second service console on a different vSwitch and subnet. To suppress this message on ESXi and ESX hosts in the VMware High Availability (HA) cluster, or if the warning appears for a host already configured in a cluster, set the VMware HA advanced option
If the warning appears even when there are two available uplinks for the vSwitch hosting the Service Console/VMkernel Port Management Network, providing a redundancy, see ESX/ESXi host displays warning message when test condition is false (2008602).
Note: If the warning continues to appear, disable and
re-enable VMware High Availability in the cluster.Alternatively, you can add a second service console on a different vSwitch and subnet. To suppress this message on ESXi and ESX hosts in the VMware High Availability (HA) cluster, or if the warning appears for a host already configured in a cluster, set the VMware HA advanced option
das.ignoreRedundantNetWarning
to true
and reconfigure
VMware HA on that host. This advanced option is available in VMware Virtual
Center 2.5 Update 3 and later.If the warning appears even when there are two available uplinks for the vSwitch hosting the Service Console/VMkernel Port Management Network, providing a redundancy, see ESX/ESXi host displays warning message when test condition is false (2008602).
