No host Is Compatible With The Virtual Machine

After creating the virtual machine, when we are going to start it, then the below error message appears.

No host is compatible with the virtual machine

The system fails to start that virtual machine because the required resources to start that virtual machine isn't available on any of the hosts. These resources can be any hardware resources, it can be a port group that is configured with the virtual machine or it can be any other VM configuration settings. If these resources are unavailable or do not exist, then that error message appears.

Suppose, we have configured our virtual machine with 4 core CPUs and 16 GB ram. At the time, when we are going to start it, the placement engine will check if there are available resources (4 core CPUs and 16 GB RAM) on that host to start that virtual machine. If the placement engine is found the free core for CPUs and the free space of ram then it will start that virtual machine. Otherwise, the starting process will be failed and that error message appears.

To resolve this issue, just make sure you have enough resources available on your host that you have configured for the virtual machine.

In the DRS enabled environment, just make sure that any of the hosts have available free resources to start that virtual machine. If not available then that error message will appear and the VM starting process will fail.
