Good Afternoon,
I am going through the process of adding a datastore in VCenter. When I do I get a timeout message. Had the same thing on my other VCenter server, but those are Windows, whereas this is an appliance. I followed the steps in the following article:
Part of that references a file in the following location:
usr/lib/vmware-invsvc/lib/server/config/
When I browse to usr/lib, it tells me there is no such directory. Using the -ls command confirms this.
Am I missing something here? Is there a way to transfer the .xml file from the ESX Host to my Windows workstation (FYI...WinSCP did not work).
I am trying to avoid opening an SR if I can and am hoping this can be resolved quickly on my own.
Thank You
Brian Dougherty
What version of VCSA is this?
1) This is a very generic error. Are you able to create the datastore directly from a host?
2) Can you share the error you received while connecting with WinSCP?
3) With 6.5, the inventory service and the location has changed a bit. The new location is </usr/lib/vmware-vpxd-svcs/lib/server/config>.
Cheers,
