Hello,

Trying to deploy single node cluster Ontap Select 9.5 on ESXi 6.0 with external array (over FC). During node deployment got he following error in the job deployment log:

[Request 445 (running)]: Creating cluster nodes. This operation may take up to two hours, depending on the response time of the virtualization envi[Request 445 (running)]: Node "OTS-PPE01-01" create failed.

On VMware task event - got an error of "Cannot place virtual machine in a folder that is not a virtual machine type folder".

Is any folder required to be created for the Ontape Select VM or a specific VMware profile ? I have not seen any configuration option on Deploy VM. Appreciating any help/feedback related to this issue.

Thanks,

Andrei.

Just got exactly the same issue here BUT with 9.7 Deploy.

Did you solve it by a support case?

how are you provisioning the Storage whre you plan to install ontap select?

You must format the Storage vmfs first. As ontap Select will create the vmdk files.
