I noticed that one of my hosts was out of sync with a VDS. Running the 'Rectify vSphere Distributed Switch on Host' did nothing so I attempted to remove/add the host to the switch. The remove worked, however, when I attempt to add the host to the switch it fails with the error:
vDS operation failed on host 192.168.197.152, An error occurred during host configuration. got (vim.fault.PlatformConfigFault) exception
The vmkernel.log file said this:

This is on a 5.0.0 U3 host that is/was part of a cloud.
Thanks in advance,
