When adding a host to vCenter, the Tasks pane displays repeated Query tasks (TrendMicro Deep Security)

[adrianommeier]

I'm adding a new host to cluster, same version and patch level of others (ESXi 5.1 2583090), and now the Tasks pane displays repeated Query tasks.

I installed vShield Endpoint on host and I configured the directive Net.DVFilterBindAddress = 169.254.1.1 (Host/Configuration/Advanced Settings/Net).

I found other reports in the forum but no solution, only this KB (VMware KB: When adding a host to vCenter Server, the Tasks pane displays repeated Query tasks), but I think it does not apply because other hosts don't have a problem.

Hello,

I would follow those instructions within the KB. It does sound like it applies. It does not say that the error is for all hosts, just that Query Tasks happens quite often. Give that solution a try and report back.
