I see from vCenter Operation Manager 5 installation guide page 16, Prerequisites
If the ESX host is part of a cluster, enable DRS in the cluster. If an ESX host belongs to a non-DRS cluster, all resource pool functionality is disabled.
For the ESX host in the cluster, are you having resource pool?
Just to make this topic a happy ending.
I managed to pass the VCP4 exam in Jan/2012 and passed VCP5 exam today (29/Feb/2012).
I am now a VCP4 and waiting for my VCP5 cert.
Thanks! 
I had same issue while doing POC of vCloud director,, work around i followed was to manually migrate VMs to another host and as soon as I did that,, Host went into maintenance mode and installed the agent successfully..

Hi,
Could you please let me know the procedure to make vmci0.present = "false". If i close this kernal device error the virtuall machine will not start.
I thought of re-installing VMware due to this problem, but its not letting me to do that also, its showing an Error 1921: service VMware Authorization Service (VMAuthdservice) could not be stopped.
I tried all ur previous suggetions which u have given to other guys,
I use to use workstation 7, but when i upgraded it its showing a problem. Please advise how can I make this VMware workstation 8 work?
The solution was to add an additional NIC to my ESXi guest, and then add that NIC as a new switch. Here's a screenshot of my working configuration (please note that I changed the address of my original interface from 192.168.1.131 to 192.168.1.130). Since I am sure I'm not the only VMware newb trying to take advantage of nested VM hosting, I will write up a how-to when I get a moment.
In summary, the management network needs it's own (bridged) interface, and to be able to successfully route traffic to/from nested VMs, a secondary (bridged) interface will also need to be added and configured for this purpose.
Hi,
Try this code snippet.
Regards,
Rajesh Kamal.
public static VirtualNetworkCard createNic(Integer nicId,
Boolean isConnected, String networkName,
Boolean isPrimaryNetworkConnection,
IpAddressAllocationModeType ipAddressingMode, String ipAddress) {
// network name
CimString networkConfig = new CimString();
networkConfig.setValue(networkName);
// ip address
Map<QName, String> cimAttributes = networkConfig.getOtherAttributes();
cimAttributes.put(new QName("http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5",
"ipAddress", "vcloud"), ipAddress);
// is this nic a primary network connection.
cimAttributes.put(new QName("http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5",
"primaryNetworkConnection", "vcloud"),
isPrimaryNetworkConnection.toString());
// ip addressing mode
cimAttributes.put(new QName("http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5",
"ipAddressingMode", "vcloud"), ipAddressingMode.value());
CimString elementName = new CimString();
elementName.setValue("");
CimString instanceId = new CimString();
instanceId.setValue("");
CimString nicIndex = new CimString();
// nic id
nicIndex.setValue(nicId.toString());
CimBoolean connected = new CimBoolean();
connected.setValue(isConnected);
ResourceType networkResourceType = new ResourceType();
// nic resource type - 10
networkResourceType.setValue("10");
RASDType nic = new RASDType();
nic.setElementName(elementName);
nic.setInstanceID(instanceId);
nic.setResourceType(networkResourceType);
nic.setAddressOnParent(nicIndex);
nic.setAutomaticAllocation(connected);
List<CimString> networkAttributes = nic.getConnection();
networkAttributes.add(networkConfig);
return new VirtualNetworkCard(nic);
}
Before Shutdown of ESX host, it was made to enter the Maintenance mode and all VMs were migrated to another host.
After startup and exit from Maintenance mode, single datastore was removed automatically.
Refresh/Re-scan of all HBAs did not resolve the issue.
Any help????

Hello,
What is difference between using shared hard disk with "multi-writter" option between multiple VMs and "Raw device mapping", where that VMs are cluster.
Thanks
Which is the Fault Alert you are trying to cancel and are unsuccessful ?
What is the .ova / ovf file name (build number) you are trying to install ?
Hi,
Restart the server and then try to Re-Scan the storage
Hi,
The multi-writer option allows VMFS-backed disks to be shared by multiple virtual machines. This option is used to support VMware fault tolerance, which allows a primary virtual machine and a standby virtual machine to simultaneously access a .vmdk file.
Raw device mapping allows a special file in a VMFS volume to act as a proxy for a raw device. The mapping file contains metadata used to manage and redirect disk accesses to the physical device. The mapping file gives you some of the advantages of a virtual disk in the VMFS file system, while keeping some advantages of direct access to physical device characteristics
Buenos dias,
Tan solo informar que finalmente hoy hemos apagado todas las maquinas virtuales alojadas en el host afectado y reiniciado el host esx.
El host se ha iniciado bien y hemos podido volver a configurar el ha y todo lo demas.
Muchas gracias.
Saludos.
Currently, vCenter 4.1 is installed on Winodws Server 2003 enterprise eiditon in which 4 host are added. Now, I want to get backup of vCenter server and restore on new installed OS Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Eidtion R2 64 bit.
Please help out that how it is possible with out migrating windows 2003 to windows server 2008 R2 64bit.
Не разделяю вашу убежденность в том что задача интересна, потому что:
1. Заданный вами вопрос к vmware отношение имеет весьма отдаленное, а задали вы его в коммунити vmware
2. Причин торможения существенно больше тех двух которые вы озвучили (как пример реализация RDP видео драйвером alpha blending или кодирование вывода флеша). Особенности реализации приложений, обычно, стоят на первом месте из этих узких мест (без конкретизации на gui / disk / memory). К каналу требования больше не к полосе пропускания, а к качеству.
Личное IMHO - без конкретного приложения - поиск узких мест в производительности в RDP это типичный поиск сферического коня в вакууме.
3. Если отойти от терминологии "канал забился", "тормоза" то есть такое понятие как Performance Monitor, который является наиболее разумным путем определиться с проблемами производительности. Ну и есть некий накопленный набор линков по основам Remote Desktop Services troubleshooting performance.
Hi again,
I did another try. It appears that the datastore browser shows the provisioned space, not the allocated. This was the reason that Size and Allocated columns of my script were equal.
The newer version of the script calculates the allocated size based on LayoutEx property of the VirtualMachine view. This version of the script is faster too.

Thank you UmeshAhuja , and i want to ask , which is perefered between these?
Hi
As the guys mentioned, if it is on the blueprint it is in the exam. So if you skip something mentioned on the blueprint you are taking a massive risk which i personally would recommend not doing as this exam is a whole other level above the VCP5 and due to the time constraints knowing all possible ways of doing things and ways to do tasks faster thereby giving you more time to answer more questions is always a good idea
Good luck
Gregg
