Failed to connect to host (Template Deployment)

Hi,

When I deploy a template to a VM I'm getting a random success but a majority 'Failed to connect to host' error. I've removed and re-added from inventory, converted to VM and back many times, restarted VC services on the hosts but nothing seems to make a difference.

Is this a known problem or have I got something configured incorrectly somewhere? Just wanted to see if I was alone on this - everything else is running okay.

I'm running VC 2.5 64192 and ESX 3.5.0 64607.

Cheers,

merse
