Challenge
You want to install VeeamCDP I/O filter on a cluster that will be used for continuous data protection (CDP), but the installation fails with the following error “The agent's workflow is blocked until it's required solutions are re-mediated externally in vSphere Lifecycle Manager”.
Cause
vSphere LifeCycle Management installed on your cluster requires you to remediate updates for hosts in your cluster.
Solution
To install the VeeamCDP I/O filter on a cluster, do the following:
- In the VMware vSphere client, navigate to updates of a cluster for which you want to install the filter.
- For the hosts on the cluster, click Remediate All.
- In the opened window, accept the terms of EULA and click Start Remediation.
- Wait some time (about 5 minutes) to complete the operation.
- In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, launch the VeeamCDP Filter Management wizard.
- Despite the cluster has the “Veeam I/O filter is up to date” status, perform the installation for this cluster once again.
