I can't get import to work. I get a timeout after clicking on a vm to import from vSphere 8.u3 (connected using adminstrator@vsphere.local) after I connect the ESXi storage the Proxmox (v8.3.4) three nodes randomly go into unknown state as well. Other than the unknown state it appears everything is working. When I remove vSphere the nodes go back to green.

I have tried...
  1. Putting VMWare cluster in retreat mode, because I get this error, did NOT work
  2. Tried changing Config.HostAgent.vmacore.soap.maxSessionCount =0 and Config.HostAgent.vmacore.soap.sessionTimeout = 0 with no help
  3. vmkvsitools lsof found a ISO that was causing problem getting initial esxi storage to login/work. Resolved now
  4. confirmed my esxi storage has no + or other symbols
  5. after and IF ESXI gets added I have password here /etc/pve/priv/storage/vcenter.pw and when nodes go into unknown status the password file disappears.
I think the unknown status and vSphere dropping out are related to each other, I just don't know where else to look.

Thanks
