Problem

When many hosts are are prepared simultaneously (in non vLCM way) some hosts may fail in the internal step of downloading nsx lcp bundle to the host. Error seen is "Failed to download NSX components on host.

Solution

  1. Check the host connectivity and ensure that the "/tmp" folder has enough space.
  2. If it is fine then check if there are many hosts getting prepared at this time. Wait for host prep of other hosts to complete.
  3. Follow the usual error resolution steps from the UI or API to re trigger the operation on the failed host.
