Description
- When attempting to add a net-new or replacement compute node into an HCI cluster, the Easy Scale function of the NetApp Deployment Engine (NDE) fails to add the node and generates the error below:
Your network could not be detected. Ensure that this is the datacenter and cluster associated with your vCenter instance.
