The 'ESX configuration of Node <node-ip> is incorrect' error message is generated when attempting a snapshot of the Junos Space VA install via the Junos Space UI.

This issue is due to the missing ESX server configuration in Junos Space.

The following error is generated, when a snapshot is taken. Go to Space > Platform > Administration >  Fabric > System Snapshot:

  • Username: Username to logon to the ESX server (refer to the VMware vSphere Client image).
  
  
  • Password: Password to logon to the ESX server (refer to the VMware vSphere Client image).
