This is not the first time i see this annoying warning message
- When connecting to VMware vCenter Server 5.5 using the VMware vSphere Client or VMware vSphere Web Client, the Summary tab of the ESXi 5.5 host shows a yellow warning.
- You see the error:
Configuration issues. “Quick stats on hostname is not up-to-date”
- This issue does not occur if you connect directly to the ESXi host.
Why does this happen ?
It’s basically a VMware vCenter 5.5 BUG and has been fixed in the next update VMware vCenter Server 5.5.0b
Resolution:
First Option: Upgrade your vCenter 5.5 to the latest update and that message will disappear (Recommended)
Second Option:
To work around this issue when you do not want to upgrade, add these quickStats parameters to the Advanced Settings of vCenter Server:
- vpxd.quickStats.HostStatsCheck
- vpxd.quickStats.ConfigIssues
Note: Adding these parameters to vCenter Server does not affect future upgrades.
To add the quickStats parameters to the Advanced Settings of vCenter Server:
- In the vSphere Web Client, navigate to the vCenter Server instance.
- Select the Manage tab.
- Select Settings > Advanced Settings.
- Click Edit.
- In the Key field, enter this key:
vpxd.quickStats.HostStatsCheck - In the Value field, enter:
False - Click Add.
- In the Key field, enter this key:
vpxd.quickStats.ConfigIssues - In the Value field, enter:
False - Click Add.
- Click OK.
- Restart the vCenter Server services.
