Issue/Introduction

Before you create a vCDNI network pool in vCloud Director 8.0.1, you must prepare your hosts for vCDNI.If you create a vCDNI network pool without first preparing the hosts, attempts to create an Edge gateway fail with the following error.

No host is compatible with the virtual machine

Environment

VMware Cloud Director for Service Provider 8.0.x

Resolution

Before you create a provider virtual data center in vCloud Director 8.0.1, set the backend.installHostAgentForVcdni property value to true to push the vCDNI agents to the hosts during provider virtual data center creation.

To set backend.installHostAgentForVcdni value run the following command in vCloud Director cell.

/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/bin/cell-management-tool manage-config -n backend.installHostAgentForVcdni -v 1

If you have already created a provider virtual data center or you have upgraded to vCloud Director 8.0.1 from a previous version of vCloud Director, re-prepare the hosts after running the command and before creating a vCDNI network pool.
