Hi -
Do you have a VMkernel port on the VEM that can reach the VSM? (Must be in either VLAN 1 or 2000)

Hi Luis
as may you know, in nexus 1000v , if your deployment mode is L2, then VEM must be in same vlan of Control Link , but in L3 mode, if Control Link can ping VEM, then VEM module comes Online.
Regards
