Error the configuration of the vm was rejected.

[Zen2]

Hello, I am writing to you because I have a problem creating a VM on ESXI 7.0 Host, I have the following error message: "error the configuration of the vm was rejected. refer to the browser console".
So I can't add a VM and I don't know how to solve this bug.

Experiencing this issue on a fresh install of ESXi on one of the two 2.5" SSD's in my Dell PowerEdge r730xd server. An answer would be greatly appreciated. Are there default permissions issues?

@Zen2 Buen dia.

Verifica por favor:

-Permisos.

-Prueba hacer la misma operación desde el modo incognito-

-Borra caché del navedagor.

-Revisa el eventLog del esxi.

-Compatibilidad del HW de la vm con el host.

Y danos un poco mas de contexto porfa, que intentas cambiar de la config de la vm?

@Zen2 Good morning.

Please verify:

-Permissions.

-Try doing the same operation from incognito mode-

-Clear cache of the navigator.

-Check the esxi eventLog.

-Compatibility of the vm HW with the host.

And give us a little more context please, what are you trying to change in the vm config?

Tiyaro DeepQuery produced the following checklist:

The error message "the configuration of the vm was rejected" when creating a VM on an ESXi 7.0 host often indicates that there is a configuration issue or compatibility problem. Here are some steps that can help resolve this issue:

1. Check VM Configuration Compatibility: Ensure that the virtual machine configuration is supported by the ESXi 7.0 host and compatible with the resources available on the Dell PowerEdge r730xd.

2. Investigate Network Configurations: If the problem relates to network configurations, such as connecting virtual NICs to switches, ensure that all network settings on the VM are correct. For example, check if a valid port group is selected for the VM's network card.

3. Browser Console Logs: Since the error suggests checking the browser console, review the console logs for more detailed error messages which may provide additional insights into the rejection reason.

4. Datastore and Disk Configurations: Verify that the datastore configurations and any associated disk settings are correctly configured. Incorrect disk configurations can cause the VM creation to fail.

5. Environmental Check: Be sure that all settings within the ESXi server environment, such as NTP settings, are correctly configured to prevent time-sync issues which can sometimes cause unexpected errors.

6. Check Scratch Locations: Ensure that the scratch location of the host is properly set, not configured as the root of the local datastore with virtual machines on it, which can sometimes lead to configuration issues.
