vc 5.5, vcd 5.1 storage profiles problem

[mcfadyenj]

hi all,

I have a vcenter 5.5 / esx 5.5 setup with vcd 5.1. My management kit is setup on a hyperV instance with iscsi shared disk.

Vcenter & hosts successfully connect to the iscsi setup. However when I connect vCenter to vCD I get an issue vCD complaining about the storage profile service not working.

Vcenter has iscsi endpoints setup with IO ports active on VMKernal switch. I found some other post which stated to disable vCenter in vCD.

Then restart the inventory service and storage profile service then reenable in vCD.

This did not work for me, not sure where to head next, any ideas?

Have you seen the interoperability matrix?  vCD is not interoperable with vCenter 5.5/ ESXi 5.5. To start with, why not upgrade it to the latest version?

VCD 5.5 is required in order to function with vCenter 5.5 or ESXi 5.5.

You can run VCD 5.5 with vCenter 5.1, but the expected constructs do not allow the other way.

If the upgrade was done out of order you might run into some issues around vCNS as well.
