VSC woes on vCenter with other storage solutions

Ernst — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:28:31 GMT

In my vSphere environment I have a few different clusters with several different storage solutions. One of these is a Cisco Hyperflex cluster, which is a HCI stack with Cisco's acquired Springpath storage. This creates issues for us when using VSC to provision datastores;

When running the provisioning wizard it will fail at step 2, select storage system
Reviewing the logs with support last year we identified that VSC cannot resolve the IP of a datastore UID
The UID is connected to the Hyperflex datastore
The workaround is adding an IP that resolves to the ID in /etc/hosts file

This is a workaround that lets us provision datastores, but I would like a more permanent solution to this bug. Does anyone have any idea on how we can go about this without manual entries in the hosts-file?
