Cannot add VMWare host to cluster

Hi all,

Wonder is anyone else has encountered this and successfully resolved it yet. I am busy adding 3 new Dell M630 blades running in a M1000E chassis with ESXi 5.5 update 3a installed to the local internal dual SD cards. The first 2 hosts added to the cluster without any issues, the last one refuses to add to the cluster, errors out with host not available on the network.

Things I have tried:

Yes I am using root and the creds are correct.

Network is established and I can ping and resolve in both directions.

Disabled DRS on the cluster.

Disabled HA on the cluster.

Reinstalled ESXi on the host.

Tried to add to a different cluster with the same result.

Tried to connect directly to the host using client, but get a similar connection error.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Ramsey.
