Just checking to see if anybody else has experienced the following issue with the web client:
Place a cluster in DRS manual mode. Try to power up a VM. The vm will not power up and "working" indicator keeps spinning. Eventually the operation will fail as it won't be able to find a suitable host to run the guest on.
Nothing shows up in my "All,""Running", or "Failed" Tasks and there is nothing in "Works in Progress".
Now flip over to the older vSphere Client and power up the VM. You are prompted with the standard "Host Recommendations for VM_NAME" and you are now able to choose a host to place the guest on. Once you choose a host, the guest powers up and acts normal.
Is there somewhere in the Web Client that I can apply the "Host Recommendations"? I have searched just about everywhere that I can see in the web client, and haven't found anything related to this.
I know the "fix" is to just place the cluster back in "Fully Automated", or disable DRS completely instead of putting it in manual mode, but i am more curious to see if this behavior exists for others too, and if its a bug/feature.
My Environment:
vCenter VSA 5.5
ESXi 5.5
Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 2008R2 Terminal Server
Chrome 31.0.1650.63m
Thanks!
