vcenter 6, build 6855219, ESXi 6.0.0 build 7967664

Host profile failed on one out of 16 hosts in the same cluster.

Unexpected error checking compliance: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'config'

Can you re-attempt compliance check and share the hostprofiletrace.log (under var/log/ on the affected ESXi host) once the compliance check fails?

KennyY did you ever get to the bottom of this?

I'm also seeing this error on one host in a cluster that are all running VMware ESXi 6.0.0 build-7967664. Below are the contents of /var/log/hostprofiletrace.log. Let me know your thoughts SupreetK

I tagged the wrong users initially. KennyY​ or SupreetK​ did you see my above post?

I'm not having any luck with this. If I don't hear back I'll file an SR.

For some reason the compliance check is now succeeding. It looks like a reboot fixed it.
