It worked for me when I invoked this API against vCenter. Below is the code snippet HostDatastoreSystem dssystem=host.getHostDatastoreSystem(); HostNasVolumeSpec NasSpec=new HostNasVolumeSpec(); NasSpec.setAccessMode("readWrite"); NasSpec.setLocalPath("NFSShare2"); NasSpec.setRemoteHost("10.192.x.x"); //NFS server IP NasSpec.setRemotePath("/store1"); dssystem.createNasDatastore(NasSpec); System.out.println("createNasDatastore API is called"); Can you please try the same? At the moment, I am not sure if this API works directly on ESXi host as well (Without any connection to vCenter) I am using VC 60U2 and ESXi also 60U2. Let me know your progress.
Ok I got it. I will give a try using Java SDKs. I will come back once I am done.

vCenter 6.0 U2 can not manage ESXi 6.5. However vCenter 6.5 can manage ESXI 6.0 U2. Same logic applies to ESXi/VC releases. Also if VC is 6.0 GA and ESXI 6.0 U2, this works.

Can you give a try with this API: https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/converter-sdk/conv50_apireference/vim.host.DatastoreSystem.html#createNasDatast… Here is sample script in perl for this: How to add NFS share as datastore to ESX/ESXi host using Perl SDK .. ?  You can refer this and code in the language of your choice.
I think, this is known issue and there is high chance it may get fixed in upcoming VC release. You can raise support request with VMware as well.
I think, best way to get help on this is to raise a support request with VMware. They can guide you further.
I think this is not possible in 6.0 and above. We can have SSO (PSC) in a machine and remaining components (including web client) in another machine.
Can you let me know what is the vCenter/ESXi version/build you are using?
You can think about configuring vSphere HA to minimize the impact of host failures on your applications.

As per me, there is NO as such limit on number of DRS rules on the cluster. It is recommend to use DRS rules sparingly, hence it is better not to use them unless it is absolutely required. As the number of rules gets increased, it will restrict DRS opportunities of balancing the cluster.    It is operationally challenging in managing them as well.  
Hi guy314567 , Can you respond to my last response? That will help us to take this forward.
Did you happen to reduce memory reservation for any VM from vCenter?

Hi j_rodstein, can you make sure you have added vFlash capacity on each host? vFlash works with local SSD device which is added as vFlash capacity per host using Web client/API. If enough capacity is available at destination host, it must work fine. Recently I was exploring this feature and It was working fine for me. I had used vCenter/ESXi 60U1. If it still does not work, please update this thread with below details. are you using ESXi 60U2 which is released recently? Or you can provide build number are you using vCenter 60U2 which is also released recently? Or you can provide build number Whether DRS is enabled on the cluster?
I will get input from my colleagues and will update if I get any input.
