Unable to add ESX vSphere 4 server in Cluster

Good evening to all

I just completed the installation of 2 servers vSphere 4 Essential Plus Edition. Completed installation of vCenter and configured the datacenter, I hooked the host ESX server vCenter and created a new cluster with features of HA.

When I drag one of the two ESX servers in the cluster the progress bar stops at 84% and then I receive the following error:

Configuring HA name_esx.domain

Can not complete the configuration of the HA Agent on the host. See the task details for additional information. Other HA configuration error.

System

vcenter.domain

Assuming I have a licensing problem i configured everything in evaluation mode but nothing did.

I do not understand where it may be the problem.

Thanks in advance

try restarting the management agents and try again. Also, if you have no running VM's on the Host, add it to the cluster in maintenance mode and then exit maintenance mode once the host is in the cluster.

>service vmware-vpxa restart

....also, what happens if you try "reconfigure for ha"?
