Hi. We are having some issues provisioning instant clones using Horizon v7.50 with vCenter v6.7, yet our hypervisors are still ESXi v6.5U2.
All hosts show these errors in a connection server log.
2018-06-12T00:23:27.448-04:00 WARN (1008-1878) <CacheRefreshThread-https://blahblah:443/sdk> [ObjectStore] Host: host-26 not available for provisioning. ConnectionState=connected, PowerState=poweredOn, MaintenanceMode=false, AdminRequestedMaintenance=0, MarkedAsFailed=false, Host Version: 6.5.0, Host API Version: 6.5
Creating a new Instant Clone pool fails with this
No full links for internal VMs found
I am just not sure what is the cause or effect? The hosts are healthy, and all have access to the proper datastores, etc. Can anyone point me in a direction? Is there an issue with VCSA v6.7 and trying to use the new Instant Clone API yet the hypervisors are still v6.5U2? Thanks,,,
you need at least 1x 6.7 host in the cluster for IC to work properly. It's in the documentation. I can't find it now but that's the issue.

I'm not sure that is supported, I'd check with vmware, for horizon I think you need vcenter and the hosts the same version. The problem is 6.7 uses different api calls for instant clones than 6.5, and I wonder if sending the calls to a 6.7 vcenter is not working for horizon.

Hi. That does appear to be the issue. We went ahead and upgraded all hosts to v6.7 anyway. If you find it in the documetation, I certainly would like to know where. We didnt see anything in the release notes. Thanks,,,
Here you go:
