The operation failed because no suitable resource was found

I've been getting this issue whilst trying to deploy VM's into an org using my public catalog.

However, since I've now checked the "Enable thin provisioning" option for the storage on the org VCD this issue has gone away.

I have a single datastore cluster for this environment which has 20TB free space.

The template I use for my catalog has thin provisioned disks.

I'm also unable to import anything from vSphere due to the same issue. For example, I cloned my existing template and attempted to import this into a new catalog within my org and it failed stating "No suitable resource was found"

The cluster providing the PVDC has 6 hosts and a total of 96 processors and 1.2TB RAM.


At the moment I'm running about 82 small VM's which aren't using anything like the available resources.

vCloud Director 5.1.1.868405 and ESXi 5.0


What's going on?

Please upgrade vCloud Director to 5.1.2.  There are a few scenarios where this is fixed in the newer version.  If the error persists, I would need the debug log from vCloud Director's cell which shows the error state.

Here is an example from the release notes:

Attempting to power on a virtual machine fails with a no suitable resources error

Fixed a problem that could cause adding a new virtual machine to a vApp to fail with the following error: The operation failed because no suitable resource was found.
