Check that each IPs of one ESX has a right correspective in the other ESX.

Could you post the additional info the error is referring to! You could try to remove the host from the cluster and add it again!

Ensure your ESX hosts can ping the service console gateway (by default this is the isolation address).

[arunvirtual]

It's an test setup eneviroment, there is no gateway as such

[AndreTheGiant]

You have only 2 host?

In this case you need that the gateway is present or you need to add an advanced option for an alternate IP to ping.

Hi Andre

I am new to virtualization please help me to add advanced option for an alternate IP to ping, how to do that.

[AndreTheGiant · Accepted solution]

Go to cluster / proerties / HA / Advanced Options button

In a black row, simply add das.isolationAddress with (in the value colum) the IP of your test.
