Hi,
I've recently installed VMWare ESxi 6.7 and am trying to import an OVA file.
However, I keep getting the error, "Failed to deploy VM: vim.fault.InvalidState"
The invalid state error appears even when I try to create a VM using an ISO image, where I provision the resource myself.
Please suggest.
I am accessing the ESxi via browser since am using a MAC and it doest have the vSphere client.
Thanks and regards,
Nitin Bose
Is this ESXi free?
Hi,
Yes, its the free version.
Please find the screenshot of the error message:
I think host is in maintenance mode, please take it out of maintenance mode and try again.
How can I take it out of maintenance mode?
Hi Sureshkumar,
You were right, it was in maintenance mode. I took it out of maintenance mode and managed to import the VM, however, still getting the error.
Is the host evaluation license expired ?
I was pretty impatient not to notice the ESXi taking some time to import the OVA from my laptop over WiFi!
Anyway, its now working fine!
