Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
  • Deploying VCH does not succeed when using DHCP, but works when using Static IP.
  • When deploying a container host, the docker endpoint never comes up.
Following errors are shown during the deployment:
Failure finding cluster (): default compute resource resolves to multiple instances, please specify
Failure finding ds (): default datastore resolves to multiple instances, please specify
Failure finding pool (): default resource pool resolves to multiple instances, please specify
  • Using "vic-machine" CLI using verbose option "--debug 2" returns:

Environment

VMware vSphere Integrated Containers 1.x

Cause

If the DHCP configuration of the network range is wrong, the deployment of the VCH fails.

Resolution

Ensure that the configuration of the DHCP server for this range has correct information :
  •  Network Range
  •  Netmask
  •  Gateway in that Network Range

Then, delete the failed deployed VCH using  vic-machine delete CLI, and attempts a new deployment, using CLI or GUI.
