Issue

When provisioning a datastore at the ESXi level using Virtual Storage Console (VSC), a pop up error is thrown (as seen in the vSphere WebClient):

"There are no hosts under the selected item. You must select a datacenter, cluster, or host for the provisioning operation to work successfully"

The error is generated when selecting the following in the vSphere WebClient: Host and Clusters > right-click on a ESXi host > click NetApp VSC > Provision Datastore

In VSC's kamino log, the following Null Pointer Exception (NPE) is seen:


2018-11-05 20:52:12,476 (pool-1207-thread-1) ERROR [EsxHostTaskManager] - Unable to get hostsystem info for: HostSystem:host-765 @ https://<vcentername>:443/sdk.
