I was trying to apply a profile to my nested production cluster when I noticed the installation of the NSX kernel modules stalled at 18%. The ESXi hosts were configured with 8 GB of RAM but I also enabled vSAN of the cluster. After reconfiguring the hosts with 16 GB of memory and hitting the resolve button the process completed successfully.
Failed to install software on host.
