Symptoms

When there are more than one vmk# ports that are enabled with different services in the same dvs portgroup, you experience these symptoms:

Host Compliance check returns the error:

Host Compliance Failures
Failures Against Host Profile
Given Services are not enabled on the port group <portgroupname>

The ESX host declares that it is not compliant with itself .

The compliance check is successful if vMotion and FT logging are disabled in the vmkernel port.

In the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\PyVmomiServer.log file or C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\Logs\PyVmomiServer.log file in vCenter Server, you see entries similar to:

Cause

This issue occurs when host profile cannot handle more than one vmk# ports that are enabled with different services in the same dvs portgroup.

Resolution

This is a known issue affecting VMware vCenter Server.

Currently, there is no resolution.

Two workarounds are available.

To work around this issue, use one of these options:

Move each vmk# port that has a service enabled to its individual dvPortgroup within the same dvSwitch. If you do not have sufficient dvportgroups to accomplish this, you may have to create more dvportgroups on the dvSwitch. For more information, see vNetwork Distributed PortGroup (dvPortGroup) Configuration (1010593).

Disable the compliance check for the services by editing the profile. When you disable the compliance check, it does not validate these services (vMotion, FT) on the dvSwitch.

To disable the compliance check:

Edit the profile of the services and navigate to Host virtual NIC folder > service profile > Services for the virtual NIC policy.

where <service> is in the format <dvswitch-name> : <dv portgroup name> : <service>.

Go to Compliance Details and deselect the validation rule.

Click OK to save the profile.

Repeat these steps for each service profile.
