I created my vCloud environment, following the "evaluation cloud" directions as outlined in the "VMW-cCloud-Director1_5-EvalGuide.pdf" doc.
Everything seemed to have been moving smoothly until I tried to create my first provider vDC. When trying that procedure, a couple of the tasks timed out on me. See the attached screen shot for the detail view of the error; note, I have two ESXi hosts in the cluster and there is an identical error for each of them.
