I am attempting to deploy a new VDP 6.1.4 appliance in our vCenter Server 6.5 environment. I am able to deploy and configure the appliance without issue, all services are running, and I am able to ssh to said appliance. When I attempt to connect to the appliance from vCenter I receive the following error:
Unable to connect to the requested VDP Appliance.
Would you like to be directed to the VDP Configuration utility to troubleshoot the issue?
I have deleted the appliance from disk and tried this a second time with the same results.
I have gone through the vCenter registration in the Configuration a few times, trying local accounts and SSO/AD accounts with the same results.
I have NTP servers configured in my ESXi hosts, set the time zone in the VDP appliance and verified that the date and time are correct.
Another thread led me to check the mcserver.out info as there is a known issue in an earlier version with vCenter Server 5.5. While there seems to be warnings and exceptions I am not sure I can make heads or tails as to what they are.
