vsphere 7.3.0 - Task: Move host to desired state and cluster. NoPermission.message.format

Hi,

we are currently running vSphere

  • Version:7.0.3
  • Build:19480866

Essentials and I was tasked to create a cluster so we can use the native key provider functionality + vTPM to Bitlocker Encrypt our Windows VMs.

To test this out I first created the cluster and added only 1 of 2 hosts to the cluster. I created the native key provider, backed it up and added 1 vTPM to a Windows VM and ecrypted it with bitlocker. So far so good.

Now I cloned the vsphere-client-vm to the host in the cluster and started it and removed the old vspher-client-vm from host 2 (not in cluster).

If I try to add the second host to the already existing cluster it correctly sets the host to maintenance mode, finishes tasks "Add multiple hosts to cluster" & "Adds a set of standalone hosts" successfully but returns an error on task "Move host to desired state and cluster" - Status:  "Permission to perform this operation was denied. NoPermission.message.format"

I found similar issues which pointed out that a pre-existing read-only permission on the user account could lead to some issues, so I created a new user, added him to the Global Administrator Role. I also checked that the user account is successfully deployed to all inventory with the Administrator role. However, I still get the same error message. 

Both hosts have the latest baseline patches assigned - Hypervisor:VMware ESXi, 7.0.3, 19482537

Is this maybe caused by the already encrypted Windows VM? I have one Ubuntu VM which is encrypted with LUKS - could that be the issue here? (see log)

This is what I found in vpxd.log

Does this have anything to do with Skyline, or is it just a vSphere admin matter?

I'd say its a general vsphere admin matter but I was unsure where to post this. If this is the wrong hub I'm sorry. Is there a way to move this issue to the correct support space and if so, which is it? 

 

As this is my first post I'm unfortunately unfamiliar with the different terms - I apologize.
