API Call failed with message: Access to resource settings on the host is restricted to the server (4044443)

Job fails with error message "API Call failed with message: Access to resource settings on the host is restricted to the server 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' which is managing it" (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your vCenter)

Virtual Appliance deployment fails with the same error message

1. Add the managing vCenter to the vRanger Inventory

My Inventory -> Add VirtualCenter

2. Edit the job to check all settings/configurations are set
3. Run the job

Disassociate (not just disconnect) the host from the vCenter.

1. Using the VI Client, log into the host.
2. On the host's summary tab, in the Host Management section, select "Disassociate host from vCenter Server..."

Association is a new relationship introduced in vSphere 5, whereby some host resources are managed only by an associated vCenter, and not the host itself. The Host, therefore, does not have permission to perform the operations required. If the vCenter is not in the vRanger's inventory, vRanger cannot obtain the required permissions.
