Everpure Cloud Dedicated with AVS - Temporary Issue with AVS Run Command

Overview

Recent changes in the Azure VMware Solution (AVS) Run Command packages (specifically the Microsoft.AVS.VMFS module) have introduced an incompatibility with current PureStorage.CBS.AVS–based automation for Everpure Cloud Dedicated with AVS. As a result, certain Everpure Cloud Dedicated workflows that rely on AVS Run Command may currently fail, even though existing Everpure Cloud Dedicated datastores and workloads continue to operate normally.

Everpure is currently working on updating its tooling to align with these changes. In the meantime, a workaround is currently available.

Impact

Important: The Host Monitor function is also affected and as such, it will not install, update, or run successfully. In case there is a host lifecycle event - including addition, replacement or removal - it is necessary to manually run the Build-PCBSCluster command to reflect the event. The latest update mentioned in the section below does not resolve this specific Host Monitor issue.

Customers using Everpure Cloud Dedicated as external VMFS storage for AVS and automating deployment or configuration with PureStorage.CBS.AVS (or the associated OVA) may see failures in operations that invoke AVS Run Commands, such as:

Initial host configuration for Everpure Cloud Dedicated (for example, Build‑PCBSCluster).
Creation of new Datastores using New-PCBSVMFSDatastore.
iSCSI / VMFS connectivity setup via Set‑VmfsIscsi and related Run Commands.
Automatic host creation via the Everpure Host Monitor Function following host replacement or failure.

Workaround

Using the Everpure OVA with the VMware Cloud Manager:

Important: The issue was resolved in Everpure VMware Cloud Manager version 1.1.459

Log in to the Everpure VMware Cloud Manager OVA via SSH or console.
Check for available updates by running the following command:
```
puresw list
```
Upgrade the Appliance by running the following command:
```
puresw upgrade start pure-vmware-cloud-manager
```
Note: If there's an OS upgrade available you need to update the appliance OS first to see VMware Cloud Manager update.
