Issues with HCI Bench and pre-validation.. cannot find vm..no matches.

hi everyone,

i've installed HCIBENCH which was successful, but pre-validation seems to fail. Here are the offending lines in the prevalidation log. it can't seem to find a specific VM named "hci-tvm-VDI-vms"

2023-10-16 18:33:37 +0000: Validating cluster inter-connectivity...
2023-10-16 18:35:22 +0000: Not found: "/vcenter.domain/Datacenter/vms/HCIBENCH"
2023-10-16 18:35:22 +0000: no matches for "/vcenter.domain/Datacenter/vms/HCIBENCH/hci-tvm-VDI-vms"

the only vm's that get generated have the following naming: hci-tvm-hostname.domain-1

not sure if i'm missing something here, but maybe the automated process for pre-validation is skipping creation of the necessary vm somehow? i'm stumped..

I'm assuming you followed the install-configure guide (if it is HCI v2.0):

https://download3.vmware.com/software/vmw-tools/hcibench/HCIBench_2.0_User_Guide.pdffile:///C:/Users/nathan.savolskis/Downloads/HCIBench_2.0_User_Guide.pdf

That said, it sounds as if you might have missed a step prior to running the test configuration, specifically around the root user/pw access. See the top of page 11 in the guide above.

Hopefully it's that simple...
