Hi.
I need add 3 hosts to vMA.I dont have domain controller.
1. I deploy fresh vMA from OVF and configure IP and password for vi-admin.
2. Add first ESX01 host with success. ( vifp addserver esx02 --authpolicy fpauth )
3. Added second and third ESXi finish with fail.(commands bellow)
vi-admin@vma02:~> vifp addserver esx02 --authpolicy fpauth
root@esx02's password:
vi-admin@vma02:~> vifp listservers
esx02.localdomain ESXi
vi-admin@vma02:~> vifp addserver esx03 --authpolicy fpauth
root@esx03's password:
Error: Failed to add users
in vSphere client we can see something that:
During above tasks is creating vi-user and next vi-admin. After several seconds vi-admin is removed(i dont know why...)

In which logs can i find something more ?
var/log/vmkernel.log on host is not clear for me... but if somebody will ask i will paste.
What should i do more ? i want only add 3 esxi servers to vMA and next login to those esxi without puting passwords.
Interesting is when i deployed next vMA02 and VM03 i can only add one esxi to vMA. During adding Second and third esxi generate that same errors... Now i have 1 vMA for each host .....
Please about suggestion and help.... because my adventure with vMA is not good... last time i was problem with this vMA 5.5 The session is not authenticated after connect to target ESXi and dont resolved this in my second lab...
