I'm folling the vCloud 5.1 Evaluation Guide. Everything seems to be going well, but when I try to create my first provider vDC, I have problems. At the vCD level, I'm just told the operation has timed out while trying to install the agent on one of my two esx hosts. Interestingly, this is the host that I installed the vShield manager on. When I dig down into the vCenter level, I see more specific complaints n the event logs for the hosts.
Apparently, the host has to be powered down ( for the installation of the vCloud agent I guess ) and this requires a DRS migration of the vShield Manager vm to my ohter host. This migration fails. And here is the most relevant information from the event.
DRS failed to generate a vMotion recommendation for a virtual machine on a host entering Maintenance Mode. This condition typically occurs because no other host in the DRS cluster is compatible with the virtual machine. Unless you manually migrate or power off this virtual machine, the host will be unable to enter Maintenance Mode.
That seems pretty specific, but I have no idea what could cause "compatibility" issues with the other host. As far as I know, they are identical. I certainly meant for them to be. The Datastore that the vm is on is a shared datastore between the two hosts, as far as I can tell.
Any trouble shooting tips would be appreciated.
