VMware Cloud Foundation 4.2
VMware Cloud Foundation 4.0.x
VMware Cloud Foundation 4.1

Resolution

If the SDDC-UI is slow or unable to add the host use the below command line steps to add the host to the SDDC and also you can specify the cluster as well. 

If the environment is part of vXrail, only then the ESXi has to be part of vCenter, before proceeding with below steps.
  • Check if any lock exists 
curl http://localhost/locks | json_pp 
cancel the task of previously host added activity [get the task-id from domainmanager.log or by selecting the task and lookup in the URL]
  • Generate Token 
 curl 'http://localhost/v1/tokens' -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"username":[email protected],"password": "VMware123!"}' --insecure | json_pp
  • payload for Add Host---> create hostPayload.json file 
root@VCF [ /home/vcf ]# cat hostPayload.json  <-- Sample file
{
"clusterExpansionSpec":{
"hostSpecs":[
{
"ipAddress":"172.25.150.14",
"hostName":"esxi14.vmwarecloud.local",
"username":"root",
"password":"VMware123!",
"sshThumbprint":""
}
],
"skipThumbprintValidation":true,
"interRackExpansion":false
  • Get the cluster details
root@VCF [ /home/vcf ]# curl -v -k http://127.0.0.1:7100/inventory/clusters | json_pp
],

  • Add Host Operation by passing this payload and token in this example clusterId -> 321b2cf3-0a3d-4c94-b0fc-ee01bcdbb549

  • This process might take more time, keep refreshing the task in SDDC-Manager. If the environment has more than 50 port groups this task may exceed an hour, so do not cancel the task.
