How to resolve the VMware error message “vDS host error”?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When attempting to power on a virtual machine (VM), the following error may occur:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A general sysytem error occurred: VDS host error<\/em><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Before discussing how to fix the error, we will determine its root cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cause<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This error is due to an incorrect database record for the VM virtual network interface card (NIC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steps to Fix this Error<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
To resolve this error, we can re-add the virtual NIC to create a new database record for the virtual machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are the steps that our Support Engineers take to resolve this error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note:<\/strong> This procedure is ONLY applicable to vSphere-only environments. If there is any uncertainty regarding whether other products have been added to the vCenter Server then we should not continue with the steps that are outlined below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For vSphere-only environments, we correct this error as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
  1. First, the VM object must be located in the vCenter Hosts and Clusters view.<\/li>
  2. Choose the virtual machine and then click Edit Settings<\/li>
  3. Afterward, record all virtual NIC settings for later.<\/li>
  4. Delete the virtual NIC as well.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    If the virtual machine has multiple virtual NICs, we can only remove one at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    1. Now, save the modification and VM again, and click Edit Settings.<\/li>
    2. Here, we can re-add the virtual NIC using the previously documented settings.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      In a nutshell, we watched as our Support Techs fixed the VMware error “vDS host error” for our clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
