vem Module is installed successfully, but when we try to add the host in vcenter, we get the following error Message:
vDS operation failed on host xxxxxxx, An error occurred during host configuration. got (vim.fault.PlatformConfigFault) exception
Currently, Nx-os Version 4.2 (1) SV2 (1.1a) is installed, vem Version is also correct:

Hello,
The error on the vCenter GUI is a generic one. You could look at the vpxa logs of the ESX host to see a better description of the error (hopefully). A blind step that works in a majority of these cases is a host reboot. It's not a N1k error - more on the VMware side.
Thanks,

Hey guys,
I faced the same problem some time ago.
What I did and worked after a long troubleshooting process, was update the Vcenter and ESXi to the same version and install the Update Manager.
After all this, it finally worked for me.

HI Spankar,
a reboot did not help. The new host has the same ESXi version as the other 16 Hosts, which are already running with N1kv.
We have opeend a Case at VMware....

Sure, please update the thread with the answer once you've found it. And if possible, attach a 'vm-support' to this thread.
Thanks,
Shankar
