Troubleshoot when you add VMware servers

This page describes issues that may occur when you add VMware servers in Abiquo

The platform expects to be able to identify each datacenter with a UUID so it tries to create a UUID folder. If the platform cannot write to a datastore, then it will trigger an error. This error may also appear for each periodic infrastructure check, creating multiple log entries. If you do not want the platform to register certain datastores because it should not be able to write to them, you can configure the platform to ignore datastores that are not writable with the following property.

com.abiquo.esxi.experimental.unsafe.ignorebaddatastore=true

If you enable this property, the platform may remove datastores during an infrastructure check

When you are configuring a test environment, be sure not to add the same VMware servers in more than one mode (e.g. as vCenter servers and as vCenter clusters)
