Hi,
I'm having trouble adding a Cluster to my VCSA 6.5 environment. When I try to add a new cluster using the flash web client,
I am getting this error:
The "Create cluster" operation failed for the entity with the following error message.
A general system error occurred: Error at bora/vpx/drs/algo/drmUtil.cpp:1113
Did you try restart the vcenter and try again?
Can you try creating the cluster with DRS and HA disabled and once created enable DRS/HA.
Diego,
Thanks for the quick response. I tried that already. Vanilla cluster with nothing enabled/configured.
Did you try restart the vcenter and try again?
Many ESXi Hosts are running in this VCenter, and with production systems. If we restart the VCenter appliance, will that interfere with currently running Hosts and VMs? or will it just restart the management/control capability provided by the vcsa?
No affect your production system. Only your management (VCSA) will unavailable.
Thank you. Our ITOps controls the VCSA. We DevOps control the Hosts and VMs. I'll have to schedule vcsa restart with ITOps, and will get back to you once done and tested.
Try to create a cluster with PowerCLI to see of that helps.

Might been an issue with one of the vCenter Appliance system partitions being full. Can you please run <vdf -h> or <df -h> from the root of vCSA and share the output?
Cheers,
Supreet
Trying to create cluster via PowerCLI also fails:

Diego, that did it. We restarted the vCenter Server Appliance, and once it came back up, we were able to add the cluster. Thank you very much.
