Tag - vRealize Log Insight

Quick post today! While deploying a vRealize Log Insight (vRLI) cluster with a VIP using vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.1, you receive this error: Error Code: LCMVRLICONFIG40091 Error occured while configuring vRLI Integrated Load balancer. {"errorMessage":"Specified IP address is not available. It is already held by another host in the network","errorCode":"LOAD_BALANCER_ERROR","errorDetails":{"errorCode":"com.vmware.loginsight.api.errors.loadbalancer.ip_address_unavailable"}} This is clearly due to an issue with the VIP that has been configured. Check both forward and reverse DNS records of course.

It’s been a while since my last post! I’ve been spending some time in my homelab with the latest vRealize Suite products. One of those fantastic tools is vRealize Log Insight. I won’t get into the details of the product, but one of the use cases I wanted to tackle for my homelab was ingesting any and all syslog messages I could find. A key piece of my homelab is a PFSense VM that I use for routing and firewall separation between my home network and the components nested snuggly in my HP Z800 Workstation.
