An error occurred while connecting to depot.

Hi,

I have a remote esxi host server that is on cisco meraki site to site vpn and running version 8.0 u1c on a different subnet.  i have added it vsphere client but when i try to check compliance it has "An error occurred while connecting to depot"

Image compliance host status is unknown.

Have you checked if your vpn is having any restriction like only well known ports are allowed?

Hello, yes there are no restrictions, and also I opened 902,9084, and 9443 ports as well just incase for testing purpose

Hi there,

I've the exact same issue reported "An error occurred while connecting to depot." on a brand new vCenter's lab instance  (vCenter Server 8.0 Update 1c build 2088981) with nested hosts (currently at 8.U1a 21813344 - template is from William Lam website)

I've no network restriction either, vCenter and ESXi hosts are on same subnet.

I had similar issues.

I just fixed the issue with the replacing of working DNS configuration on ESXi hosts.

is your infra running behind the proxy?

Thank you this was my issue.  DNS settings were wiped out on my host.  I populated them again and it worked.  Thanks Lokesh_gsl
