I Can´t define an ESXi host with PCD

[luis_Borja]

I will upgrade a CUCM cluster with PCD, but when I try to define an ESXi host in PCD´s web interface, it doesn´t let me create it.

I have PCD version PCD_UCOS_10.5.3.11900-3.sgn.iso, an ESXi 5.5.0.

Has someone an idea about how I can solve this issue????

I attach a picture of error.

Do all the servers have the right ESXi licensing for PCD to work????

[luis_Borja]

thanks.

The PCD documentation, which I would assume you're following for the PCD install and config, has all that information.

This is most likely cused by incorrect ESXi license, i.e. free ESXi that comes with ESXi which does not entitle you to plugin ESXi hosts to vCenter and does not work with PCD.

You could copy and then remove the ESXi license, which will put you in 60 day full license mode and perform the PCD tasks, and then simply re-apply.
