Hey guys,

I am getting this message after I run vm.create
"CannotAccessVmComponent: A component of the virtual machine is not accessible on the host."

/hrndva.eng.com/Englab> vm.create -p /hrndva.eng.com/Englab/computers/englab-big-01/resourcePool/ -d /hrndva.eng.com/Englab/datastores/syseng-ci-vmax-0269-fbf/syseng-vmax-0269-04c4-fbf /hrndva.eng.com/Englab/vms/vm-test

Please advise and let me know if you need more info
Thanks

We do not use resource pools in our environment
🥇 :/ so I have also tried

vm.create /hrndva.eng.com/Englab/vms/vm-test -p /hrndva.eng.com/Englab/computers/englab-big-01/hosts/syseng2-big-vmw-04.eng.com/vms -d /hrndva.eng.com/Englab/datastores/syseng-ci-vmax-0269-fbf/syseng-vmax-0269-04c4-fbf

Expected ResourcePool but got RVC::FakeFolder at "/hrndva.eng.com/Englab/computers/englab-big-01/hosts/syseng2-big-vmw-04.eng.com/vms"
