vROPs add new node?

[niceguy001]

Just faced a dumb thing and I couldn't solve it, as shown in figure below.

when i was trying to add a node for my brand new deployment of vrealize operations manager 8.0, it stuck at "invalid address" no matter how i input the IP address.

what am i possibly missing :smileyconfused:????

sorry for the stupid question...

Hello       Did you tried to add node address without CIDR? write only 10.101.6.29

produban​ i tried but problem persist.

however, after deploy a new node(data node, in my environment) via OFA file to the vCenter and configure it with proper settings, this new node can now be added to the cluster.

maybe this is the correct sequence to "add a new node"
