Morning / Afternoon All,
Sorry for the scatter gun approach to this question and I may be barking up the wrong tree, I am attempting to build-out a temporary testing environment with a 4 node Dell XS23
I have managed to install the following
ESX Hyper Visor
VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.5.0.update03-13932383.x86_64 - 2 nodes
VMware-VMvisor-Installer-201908001-14320405.x86_64 - 2 nodes
Vcenter Appliance - 6.5 u3b
VMware-VCSA-all-6.5.0-15259038
NSX 6.4.6
VMware-NSX-Manager-6.4.6-14819921
But I have a issue with the deployment of NSX, it seem the EAM process/database are either corrupt or something is not correct, as the NSX snap-in continually says that EAM is starting, at the EAM service on the VCenter via UI and Shell say's the process is started, but I am not able to view the via http://(VCenter Address)/eam/mob - I noticed this address on another forum post.
I am running the environment on evaluation licenses of Vsphere and a temporary 50 node licence for NSX.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, or errors on my ways.
Kind Regards
This could also be a duplicate post but I could not find the original post.

1.Can you share the logs of EAM -> var/log/vmware/vpx/eam/log and logs from one of the ESXI host were you tried to prepare the cluster -> var/log/esxupdate.log
2.Events related to EAM -> Administration->vcenter extensions->manage->monitor -> Monitor events
3. Any firewall between NSX and VC&ESXI ?
4. Did you reboot ESXI/VCSA/NSX ?
5. Ensure DNS is working correctly in this setup.
Hi Sreec,
In response to your questions please see below.
1.Can you share the logs of EAM -> var/log/vmware/vpx/eam/log and logs from one of the ESXI host were you tried to prepare the cluster -> var/log/esxupdate.log
See Attached Files
2.Events related to EAM -> Administration->vcenter extensions->manage->monitor -> Monitor events
They does not seem to be any events related to EAM
3. Any firewall between NSX and VC&ESXI ?
No Firewall between VCSA, NSX, ESXi - Flat Network
4. Did you reboot ESXI/VCSA/NSX ?
All have been reboot various times
5. Ensure DNS is working correctly in this setup.
Could well have been DNS / NTP, I have gone an reconfigured some of the NTP setting but it is still not resolving the issue.
Kind Regards
EAM logs are reporting lot of logging failures -

Do check wrapper.logs as well -> VMware Knowledge Base to confirm if you are hitting with same issue ( I understand that you are already at 6.5 U3b)
Did you ever resolve this? I believe I am running into the same issue.
EAM Service continually is saying Starting.
Logs say: Failed to login to vCenter as extension. vCenter has probably not loaded the EAM extension.xml yet.: Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password
