Hi all,

We’re seeing some new Zuul build failures in vmware.vmware\_rest. The failures seem unrelated to any changes, and when I try to list the available datastores in the (vcenter) cluster, none are found. Heres an example, [Zuul](https://ansible.softwarefactory-project.io/zuul/build/a088a72cdc2545718146e1a0cfb06b56)

Are there any known issues? Seems like the last time this happened it just magically resolved itself after some time.

Also, Im really not familiar with Zuul, how to debug these issues, or even the infrastructure these tests run on. Is there any documentation about Zuul? Anyway to gain more insight into the underlying infrastructure?

Thanks

When did this start? Can you give day, or at least a week, when it did? I think this might help to troubleshoot.

I found my issue, its an expired ESXi license. Now I get to fix it somehow…

`License not available to perform the operation` or something similar? I see this in [[DNM] Test consolidate argument specs and doc fragments](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/2273).

I’m not 100% sure but if I remember correctly, @jillr were able to help there. I’m not sure if they’re still responsible, but maybe they can give you at least a hint.
