Q:
When completing the vCenter Installable installation for a new vSphere 5.5 environment, you find that
although you can ping the ESXi hosts from the vCenter Server, and get no errors when testing the netw
ork from the ESXi console, you cannot successfully add any ESXi hosts to your new vCenter installation.
