Hello all,
I have an issue with the installation of the VEM. The VSM installation went fine and it can communicate with vCenter.
Below you have some information that you may require:
vSphere 5.1.0 (Trial)
Nexus 1000v - 4.2.1.SV1(5.2b) (Evaluation)
The configuration is pretty simple, 1 server with vCenter + 2 servers with ESXi 5.1.0
I did attempt to install VEM with the graphical java interface and it creates a longer log which ends with the following details (I assume this is important)

172.31.82.31 - Esxi-1
172.31.82.32 - Esxi-2
Attached you have also the VSM configuration and the output of some commands that I think should be useful.
Now, that error let me understand that either the installation wizard cannot get / download the vib or that the vib is there but not compatible (with what?). First part, how it cannot download the vib if I have connectivity?! Second, if there is something not compatible, then it should be listed here:
I'm a litle bit lost. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thank you!
Cheers,
