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.
