Resolution
To resolve this issue, add the IP address and hostname in the
hostsfile.Notes:
- If the source machine is Linux , the hosts files is located in:
/etc/hosts- If the source machine is Windows, the hosts file is located in:
\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Example: A hosts file might look similar to:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.16.23.89 target-esx
thanks man it worked for me, just had to remember to not put the vCenter or Cluster names in but the ESX Host that was going to host the VM as the agent of the machine to be virtualised talks directly to it and if it doesn't know what that ESX hostname and IP is it will fail.
