Hi
Got the same issue in vCenter Server 6.0 installation, with vCloud Director 5.5.4
Error in vCloud is: "Collecting Profile-Driven Storage Service data failed on this vCenter Server."
Error is vCenter is: "A general system error occurred: PBM error occurred during PreCloneCheckCallback: Operation timed out"
Have had a VMware SR raised for last 5 days now, with still no resolution. Have restarted SPS service, Inventory service; we've reset the Inventory Database; we've recreated Storage Profiles in vCenter; we've uninstalled/reinstalled vCenter Server; we've shrunk the VC database, we've reinstalled vCloud Director, and still this error pops up.
It is intermittent when deploying vApps from vCloud, or sometimes even just when powering on VMs, ie. we can have stable environment for 30-60 mins before it all hangs with this error, until we reboot the VC.
Any advice would be appreciated.
