Unable to contact the management VM to configure Netscaler SDX

It may happen that when you start configuring Netscaler SDX (11500 in our case) that you are unable to connect to the management VM (svm) at all throughthe default IP 192.168.100.1

Ping , http , ssh to 192.168.100.1 doesnt work

in our case the console connection did work and we could ssh into 192.168.100.2

However ssh to 192.168.100.1 or 168.254.0.10 doesn't work even from within the console session.

FOr us when we launched xsconsole , it doesnt show any Mangement VM as well

In our case factory reset was done for the Netscaler and that did resolve the issue.

Make sure you check the svm.conf located in cd /flash/mpsconfig

It may happen that IP/Subnet configuration is not default

Group Policy Object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070534 No mapping between account names and security IDs was done

One of our servers was losing the Local Admin settings as we control them using GPO (restricted Groups) We were receiving the following event on this particular server : Event ID 4098 Application Event Log The computer 'Administrators (built-in)' preference item in the 'Servers Local Admins {odjd9DBD-22AF-48EA-ADF5-F42ADE4182hst}' Group Policy Object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070534 No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.' This error was suppressed. To fix the issue we deleted all the folders from the following location and rebooted the server C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Group Policy\History Hope this helps.

iDRAC 7 Shows no Signal in Virtual Console Preview

Recently i logged on to iDRAC for one of our Dell R720 servers,however somehow the console redirection did not work at all. I kept on seeing No Signal on the Virtual console Preview. I tried Rebooting the server but that did not help. Finally i clicked on Reset iDRAC and this did the trick. It may take around 2 -5 minutes before you can access iDRAC page again. I had to power on the server through iDRAC before anything showed up on console. Hope this Helps.
