Unable to Provision New VMs in vCloud Director. 5.1.x

Posted on by Jordansphere

 

Scenario: I had just created a new Provider Virtual Data Centre (PVDC) from a new ESXi cluster. When I tried to add a VAPP from the catalog I was presented with an error.

Error Message:

 

 

The problem was actually due to the VM Storage profile not being “enabled” on the new cluster.

 

In vCenter go to HOME -> MANAGEMENT -> VM STORAGE PROFILES -> Click the relevant Storage Profile -> ENABLE VM STORAGE PROFILES -> ensure “Enable is selected on the required cluster.
