Unable to add a Fluid Cache ESXi 6.0 host to an existing
server cluster
Description
Using Enterprise Manager GUI, if you try to add an ESXi 6.0 Fluid Cache host to an
existing server cluster within a Storage Center, the following error message is
displayed:
SC servers must all have the same operating system.
Solution
When adding a new Fluid Cache ESXi6.0 server host to an existing sub server
cluster, in the Edit Server Settings dialog box, select VMware ESXi 5.5 for the
Operating System type instead of VMware ESXi 6.0. After adding the server to the
sub server cluster, when Enterprise Manager prompts you to change the version,
change the operating system type to VMware ESXi 6.0.
This method enables you to add an ESXi 6.0 host to an existing sub server cluster
on the SC8000 without any issue.
