View Composer Fault: VMware.Sim.Fault.VcDatastoreInaccessibleFault

[Chad09]

I'm constantly getting this error View Composer Fault: VMware.Sim.Fault.VcDatastoreInaccessibleFault on my pools, it started without any changes being made. Everything had been working fine.

I've followed VMware KB: Creating or provisioning a VMware View desktop pool fails with the error: View Composer F... and I've verified that all of the pools are there, no host is in maintenance mode, and I've rescanned for datastores, they all show up. Are there any logs I can look into to see where this might be failing when the pools try to create desktops? Any other ideas?

Thanks!

If had this happen when a datastore that has been removed from vSphere still exists in the pool configuration.

Also seen this when not all hosts can see a specific datastore.

Hi Chad09,

Please check View Composer logs and see if there are any communication issues with any of the ESX hosts. Usually, removing the problem host from the vCenter and re-adding them solves the issue. You might need to do this one by one for the hosts if you have no idea which host is causing the issue.

Thanks,
