【VMware vCenter】使用vSphere Diagnostic Tool（VDT）诊断工具检查vCenter Server。
vSphere Diagnostic Tool（VDT）是一个诊断工具，主要用于对vCenter系统的配置进行一系列检查、识别和报告可能存在的问题。
通过该工具，在每次检查时可以提供友好的显示结果。这些结果分为PASS（表示检查成功）、FAIL（表示检查失败）和 WARN（表示可能不重要但需要注意的警告）。除了PASS/FAIL/WARN结果外，VDT 还可以提供信息性消息（INFO），这些消息可以用于提供判断所检查配置项目的相关详细信息。
VDT 的作用是通过提供可能难以收集或在问题解决过程中可能无法立即发现的信息来帮助用户进行故障排除。它还可以检测vCenter Server Appliance 配置中的不一致之处。这对于维护稳定且配置良好的虚拟化环境来说至关重要。
以友好的方式显示结果提供给用户，VDT 增强了对vCenter Server Appliance运行状况和配置的可见性，使管理员能够更轻松地识别和解决潜在的问题。VDT是其他故障排除和诊断过程的补充工具，它提供了一组集中检查，以快速评估vCenter Server配置的某个特定方面。定期使用VDT可以成为系统主动维护方法的一部分，帮助管理员在可能配置问题而导致更严重的问题之前发现并解决它们。
使用VDT时，必须仔细检查结果，解决任何失败或警告的检查，以维护稳定可靠的vCenter Server环境。请注意，该工具的可用性取决于vCenter Server的版本以及随时间的推移对VDT所做的任何更新或增强。
VDT 发行版本与vCenter Server兼容性
- vdt 1.1.4 - vCenter Server 6.5、6.7 和 7.0
- vdt 1.1.6 - vCenter Server 7.0 和 8.0
- vdt 2.0.x - vCenter Server 7.0 和 8.0
VDT 诊断或检测的项目
- vCenter Basic Info（vCenter基本信息）
- SSO Checks (Lookup Service and Machine ID)（SSO检查）
- Active Directory Integration（AD活动目录集成检查）
- vCenter Certificates（vCenter证书检查）
- VMdir Functionality（VMdir检查）
- Core Files（内核文件检查）
- vPostgres Database Usage（vPostgres数据库使用率）
- Disk Space Usage（vCenter磁盘空间使用率）
- DNS Functionality（DNS域名解析检查）
- Time Sync & NTP Functionality（NTP时钟同步检查）
- Root Account Validity（vCenter Root有效期检查）
- vCenter Services（vCenter服务检查）
- VCHA Check（vCenter HA检查）
- Syslog Functionality（vCenter日志服务器检查）
- IWA/AD Checks（IWA/AD身份认证检查）
- Local Identity Source Check（本地身份认证检查）
- Solution User Checks（用户解决方案证书检查）
VDT 安装和使用指南
1.通过上面的链接下载环境所对应的支持版本。
2.通过SFTP客户端将工具包上传至vCenter Server的root目录。
3.进入工具上传所在的目录，然后解压缩文件。
unzip vdt-v2.0.4-03_08_2024.zip
4.使用以下命令运行该工具。
python vdt.py
5.运行诊断工具后，可以得到如下vCenter Server相关类似的诊断结果。

VDT 故障排除
VDT 2.x
1.诊断超时或诊断时间过长问题。
v2版本内置超时时间为10秒钟（可在vdt/vcenter/vc_cfg/vc_vdt.ini中配置），如果超时并询问您是要继续进行强制检查还是跳过它，如果选择强制诊断并继续挂起，请参阅步骤2中的说明。
2.诊断挂起或任何导致脚本执行的问题。
如果诊断挂起的时间过长或失败，无法执行下一步的诊断，则可以在脚本中按ctrl-c 键，然后在“vcenter/vc_cfg/vc_vdt.ini”文件中禁用检查。例如，要禁用IWA/AD检查，请执行以下操作：
在VDT 2目录中，修改vc_vdt.ini文件：
vi ./vcenter/vc_cfg/vc_vdt.ini
找到以下行：
[category:vc_iwa_checks]
name = "IWA/AD Checks"
在每行前放置一个分号：
;[category:vc_iwa_checks]
;name = "IWA/AD Checks"
保存文件：
:wq！3.一个或多个诊断项目出现错误。
- 收集日志包
- 继续进行传统故障排除
- 将问题报告给 [email protected]
4.您可能会在任何检查中遇到不准确或得到奇怪的结果。
- 继续进行传统故障排除
- 将问题报告给 [email protected]
VDT 1.x
1.诊断超时或诊断时间过长问题。
v1.1.6版本内置超时时间为20秒钟，如果超时并询问您是要继续进行强制检查还是跳过它，如果选择强制诊断并继续挂起，请参阅步骤2中的说明。
2.在更早的VDT版本中，诊断超时时间是10 秒。
如果诊断挂起的时间不合理，可以按ctrl-c 键退出脚本诊断，然后将有问题的项目从需要运行诊断的“scripts”目录移出。例如：
mv scripts/vc_ad_check.py /tmp/3.一个或多个诊断项目出现错误。
- 收集日志包
- 继续进行传统故障排除
- 将问题报告给 [email protected]
4.您可能会在任何检查中遇到不准确或得到奇怪的结果。
- 继续进行传统故障排除
- 将问题报告给 [email protected]
