Given Services are not enabled on the port group
When trying to apply a host profile to a vSphere host you can receive a error:
Given Services are not enabled on the port group
After some investigation and googling around I found this kb articel on vmware.com.
This KB articile discribes that the error only occurs when you have 2 vmk’s on a single portgroup (in my case one form management and one for vMotion) on a Distributed Switch.
The solution is to use seperate distributed portgroups voor de vmk’s or disable compliance check for these vmk’s.
In order to disable compliance check:
- Edit the profile of the services and navigate to Host virtual NIC folder > profile > Services for the virtual NIC policy, where is in the format : : .
- In the right pane, go to Compliance details and deselect the checkbox which lists the validation rule.
- Click OK to save the profile.
- Repeat this procedure for each service profile
